VGR's "30 Days" Discussion
Hello, all you wonderful people!

Thank you for your interest and support for the 30 Days of Gaming! We wouldn't have gotten this far if not for you guys.

This thread is for discussion of the entries that'll be uploaded through the month. These budding writers need support and advice to grow, and your suggestions will definitely help in future. Not up for giving C&C? Discuss their choice of videogame, or share your own pick of the day.

And remember - you can always post your comments on the VGR itself!

You can see today's update here. Watch this space for an archive of all the previous entries.

I hope there's been no problems from people so far.
Also, I think you need a read more tag on the posts.

Oh look at how she listens... She says nothing of what she thinks.
She just goes stumbling through her memories staring out onto Grey Street.
But she thinks, "Hey... How did I come to this? I dreamed myself a million times around the world but I can't get out of this place."
There's an emptiness inside her and she'd do anything to fill it in.
And though its red blood bleeding from her now, it felt like cold blue ice in her heart.
When all the colors mix together to grey, and it breaks her heart...

How she wishes it was different... She prays to God almost every night.
And though she swears He doesn't listen, there's a hope in her that he just might.
She says "I pray! Oh, but they fall on deaf ears... Am I supposed to take it on myself to get out of this place?"

It's all good man, just a minor formatting thing. Should all be sorted, along with appropriate newsposts 'n stuff. Phew!

I'm disappointed I couldn't get my illustrations up in time (but at the same time I also wish I had more time to work on them. The deadline did give me plenty of time, but work and other things always interfered). I'll post them in the doodle thread later I think, some are fun.

Meh, at the moment, I don't even care anymore if people spell my username as GaryCXJK.

I'd like to say I had a similar problem, but in reality I just got caught up playing The Sims and forgot about my illustrations until the day I was submitting!

I liked your article, by the way! It was well balanced and informative c:

I have to admit I'm sort of... underwhelmed with some of the submissions though. A couple of the articles basically amount to I LIKE THIS GAME / THIS CHARACTER BECAUSE THEY ARE GOOD without really going into any depth. A few of them come across as pretty childish, in all honesty.

As a side note, I'm leaving the 31st open to bonus/late/assorted submissions. So if you want to still do images and what have you; or if you punked out and missed your deadline, it can still feature.

Eh. I had a sign up structure before (which I'm going to try and stick to), but as we've had a number of silent dropouts already (LIKE TODAY. YOU'RE DEAD TO ME, ZETABLAST35.), *cough*, I'm cool with you taking whatever day that has < 3 participants. Choose days that you feel the existing sign up is a weak link.

But yes, I'm quite pleased with a few articles so far. A big thanks to the comitted. =)
