I'm mad and I won't take it anymore. The most sophisticated method of torture known to mankind, masquerading as a SFF work, has no questions on this site!
CONTEST TIME!
Contest #1:
Ask a question about Der Ring des Nibelungen, in the next 50 days, and get a chance to enter a contest!
The winner, as judged by me but somewhat influenced by total votes, gets a fabled magical ring. OK, OK, I don't have Joel's angel investors or business acumen, so the winner gets
An attaboy from me, with a total worth of $0.02 cents in leperchaun gold
An honorable mention in a SFF Blog entry I plan to submit should this contest idea actually work
A chance to enter into the Advanced Stakes of Contest #2.
Contest #2:
Answer a question about Der Ring des Nibelungen, in the next 60 days, and get a chance to enter a contest!
The winner, as judged by me but somewhat influenced by total votes, wins:
The honor to wear laurels for a month (laurels supplied by the winner).
A bounty worth 100 reputation from me
An even more honorable mention in a SFF Blog entry I plan to submit should this contest idea actually work
If the winner of Contest #1 will supply a good answer (in my personal opinion) to any questions about the topic, I shall reward such an answer with a bounty of 100 reputation (but the answer has to be good enough to deserve the bounty).
- If he also happens to win Contest #2, I will bump the bounty for that win from 100 to 200.
