Commenting Challenges
« on: March 20, 2013, 12:50:31 PM »
Alright, here's the deal: 

Authors love comments on their work, and we're going to deliver.  The challenge is to pick a freetext from the following list, and reply to this thread with the one you have chosen.

http://strolen.com/freetext

Your mission is to comment on EVERY SINGLE submission that has this freetext.  Voting is optional.  Leaving an idea on the sub also counts, but upvoting comments/ideas does not.

Additional Info:
  • The freetext you choose must have at least 5 submissions that it applies to (was going to go higher, but some submissions are really long).
  • If you have already commented on a submission with that freetext, you are free to skip it if you choose.
  • Also, once you've completed the challenge, please respond back to your original post on this thread.  We're handing out kudos and imaginary cookies (and possibly Internet Points, while supply lasts).

UPDATE:
Besides the good feeling you will attain by completing this challenge, I now offer the following prize:  I will comment (and vote) on three submissions of choice for anyone who completes this challenge.  They don't have to be your own.  Please PM me your choices, and I will make sure they go to the top of my queue. :)



Pledges:
Murometz -- Spear
Dossta -- 30
MysticMoon -- Swamp
Moonlake -- "5 in 1"

Completed:
valadaar -- Mercenary

I choose the freetext "30":

I've commented on a bunch of these, but now it's time to fill in the blanks.  Just 143 subs to sort through . . .

I'll take http://strolen.com/freetext/Swamp

Twice as challenging as spear :P
The old man, grey-haired, braid hanging down.
He is clothed in faded brown robes.
His craggy face is turned up, bathed in moonlight;
He looks for his goddess to smile upon him.

How is this going for you guys?  I've gotten through 3 pages of 30s, with another 5 to go (though I have already commented on many of them in the past).

I _think_ I got all the mercenaries actually.

I'll try to check again tonight when I have my votes back.

Awesome.  If so, you're going to get a truckload of Internet Points for being the first person to complete it :)  Please remember to update your original post when you've confirmed it.  (Oh, and if you have a sub that you would like me to comment on, I'll throw that into the mix as well).

Okay, they (mercenaries) are all commented, either with ancient or recent comments.

I will take "5 in 1"- not just the quest subs but the associated subs as well. I will be taking my time with this, though.
