I still think... by ana (2.00 / 0) #7 Thu Apr 10, 2008 at 12:34:11 PM EST

we should have a "late fun challenge entry fun challenge". I still have an idea kicking around for a Tom Waits cover, for example.

And I wonder what the optimal voting time is? Perhaps the after-comments will inspire some readers to go back and look at some of the entries they didn't read, or skimmed.

How long does it take to write a WFC entry? by hulver (2.00 / 0) #9 Thu Apr 10, 2008 at 03:15:46 PM EST

Most people put it off till the last minute anyway. I think reducing the time to make it tighter, so the writing and voting and results are closer together might help.

: Yeah. by ana (2.00 / 0) #10 Thu Apr 10, 2008 at 03:28:22 PM EST

The time allowed for writing is more or less independent of the time allowed for reading and voting. Most people, as you say, dash something off just shy of the deadline (though this time I spent my Sunday afternoon writing hour working on it, 3 weeks running, before pasting it all together the day before the deadline).
But for people like you (*cough*) who like to graze on the stories, read one every day or two for a week or two, maybe allowing a longer period for that process would work better.
Also, +1 tags :-)
