Angel_Grace_Blue Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 My finished product clocked in at 6,142 words. I figured an extra 50% of my typical word limit should be good for a PPV match with no stip and no title to be won.
The Ill One Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 Oh I'm probably going to round the 30k mark. ...Actually I'm at 3k and still picking up the pace. So I don't know where it'll clock it- I'll just be happy to turn in a well polished match then hope for the best. I've been pulling a TNT minus the fever though so it's not like I'm going anywhere today or tomorrow. Edit: No the match won't be 30k. I'm no Divefire.
The Ill One Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 If the Alamodome crashes, I'm fucked. That ending is brilliant. Well I'm on a roll and just reached the 5k mark. I'm more or less worried because I'm not near the point of the match I want and last thing I want is a dragger. Yeah, I'm being too honest right now.
Mr. S£im Citrus Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 Just a hair over 500, but that's mostly because I have a hard time writing intros. In fact, on average, it takes me three times as long to get through my introductions as it does to get through the whole rest of my match, so once the bell rings, I'll be fine; I already know how I want the action to go, and I'll just pull a C'Fuck special if it comes down to it.
JJ Johnson Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 Went back and redid the finish. The match is now 4.8k
Toxxic Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 Mine was a shade under 9k i believe, which clocks it in as the shortest PPV match I've ever done. Of course, the previous shortest was Slay Ride vs Landon, which lost...
Secret Agent Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 *staggers in* Well, I think I'm done. 10,969 is my final count which may get shorter after I wake up in five hours for my nine hour work day. Anyway, you'll get the match around 2 p.m. CST, Mike.
muzz Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 I'm sure if I were writing, I'd be at 0 right now.
Toxxic Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 So since you're not writing you've got 3.5k, right?
A Happy Medium Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 I'm at 2k. I've got some writing ahead of me.
Guest Goodear Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 I came in just under 5k I do believe, which is perfectly acceptable considering me and Todd have no history and no feud and no belts and no real reason to go into kill mode on each other. 5k is a nice happy midcard match level... yes indeed.
King Cucaracha Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 7.6k apparantly, although I'm not sure if this online word count is accurate or not. Still, it was a bit of a rush, what with getting roped into helping someone move house. Considering Ground Zero was about 17k (probably), I'm obviously not the nerd I once was.
Toshiaki Koala Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 Hmmm... other people's matches aren't super-long too! That is heartening. As for my wordcount... No. It's just too embarassing.
Golgo 13 Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 I lied. Sorry, but there'll be nothing from me. I've been bedridden all day with some kind of bug and haven't been able to get anything done, and am about ready to head back. Big surprise.
JHawk Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 About 5.2k. The sad thing I was wondering how to make a PPV match with no prior buildup feel like something more than a TV match. Then my finish went nearly 1k.
Mr. S£im Citrus Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 8.5K. I wanted to write more, but I was under the gun... Of course, it almost turned out to be a moot point, as I then proceeded to have to wait for a half-hour on a computer to open up before I could actually turn my match in; sometimes being out here really sucks...
