SuperMegaNodeFestQuest 2007. Shazam!

SuperMegaNodeFestQuest 2007
SHAZAM!

One weekend. Three days. One trillion writeups.

Or thereabouts.

SuperMegaNodeFestQuest is a challenge to you to post as many writeups as you can over one weekend. There will be many fantastic glittering jaw-dropping prizes, such as... *looks around room*.... Upvotes! Easter eggs! C!s! Marbles! Small pieces of yarn!

The Rules!

No daylog-spamming. You can have three daylogs, one for each actual day of the quest. No core-dumping your livejournal into the poor servers. That's a Super-Mega-NO-Fest-Quest, my friends.

Everything you post between midnight server time Friday, May 25 and Monday, May 28, 2007 will be counted for the quest, once you let me know you are participating. CLARIFICATION: What I was trying to say was the beginning of Saturday to the end of Monday. I have no idea what I actually said, but the few writeups mistakenly posted Friday by quest entrants will be included in the Quest. and UPDATE: the quest has been continued through the end of Tuesday.

Please do not put little notes in your writeups letting everyone know that they were done for SMNFQ2007S!. It's not like Gone in 60 Seconds or one of them horror quests, where following the link is likely to turn up more of the same genre. Softlinking back here, though, is fine, and your quest writeups will all be listed in this node.

And yes, there is a length requirement. Each writeup has to be at least four paragraphs long. (Poetry excepted.) You are on the honor system here: this is a quest for adding a ton of good stuff to the nodegel, not a ton of mediocre crap. Writeups will be checked for plagiarism. This is not really any different than posting normally. Anything that would normally get deleted will be disqualified from the quest simply because it is not likely to still be around by the time the quest is over. Write like you normally would and you will be fine; if your writeups often get deleted normally, check out E2 Mentoring Sign-Up fast!

The Prizes!

"But wait! If we're all posting tons of stuff over the weekend, who is going to notice and C! my work! It's all going to get buried!"

Pshaw. Not with SuperMegaQuestyShazamNess! Even as you read these words, a crack team of SuperJudges is being assembled and sworn in! Every quest entrant's submissions will be rewarded with node audits from at least ten people. C!s meted out over the course of the several weeks following the quest will also help you get noticed. And you'll get one 10xp blessing for every five writeups you post as part of the Quest.

But I know you're tired of the insubstantial rewards. You can only collect so many golden trinkets, right?

So, each quest participant will get a small grab bag of prizes like mix cds, glitter, candy, marbles, dime store toys, zines, cool bat cards from a bat stamp I made, little crocheted skulls and toy mice made by jessicapierce - who knows what will arrive at your door?! Not all of those things, that is for sure. But something shiny!

And a few SPECIAL QUEST WINNERS (in categories which may include and are not limited to "Most Shit Posted Ever OMG," "Quality Over Quantity," and "Seriously, I Can't Believe You Got Away With Writing 50 Poems, Who Are You, Etouffee? Oh Sorry, Etouffee, I Didn't See You There") will be awarded Official Quest Bunnies such as you might see here or here, bought off jessicapierce's etsy site.

EVEN BETTER, quest JUDGES will receive prizes too! Each judge will get at least a rad grab bag, and maybe even a bunny too. Depending on how great the deluge of entries may be. Judges are allowed to enter the quest as well, so they are welcome to post a ton of writeups in order to try to push it all the way to Bunny.
