Yeh I'm not going to post my MW till I hand it in because perhaps by this it will be, whats the word...less crap.

I think we should just give up on this thread being about the actual topic!

Never. Instead let's expand the topic area so that we won't go off it.
Let's make this a forum about:

1) Our MWs, - First and foremost, on our MWs, any problems will be heard and all advice is welcome =)

2) Other subjects that you would like to discuss with fellow Ext 2ers

3) Non-school events and occurences that you would like to share with this smart group of Ext 2ers, who promise they won't adhere to the stupidity that seems inherent in the "Non-School" gutter, i mean forum =)

I think it's quite impossible to go off-topic now

 

[physician]

hmmm... agreed to (1)
agreed to (2)

as for 3.. that would become absolute and utter spam... lol...

and then the thread will be closed... or even worse.. deleted...

Haha you think? But all who do Ext 2 are bound to be intelligent young people and even their spam must conceal somethign worthy
Meh. You're probably right
We'll scrap option 3 than.
Although if you really need to unlock it, it''ll be there

Now, i'm trying to put 3 seperate scenes that basically say the same things into one. It's proving quite troublesome. I'm sure all have encountered this in their cutting down stage ? =/

EE2 ENGLISH PWNZ! I've done 2 drafts and I'm working towards the finished gunk

I've finished 0 drafts but i'm working towards the finished gunk nevertheless. I don't think i'll be having drafts =)

cutting down stage... I don't have anything to cut down on... lol

oh other than the fact that i deleted 5000 words of complete cr*p whch i wrote at the beginning of the course.. hmm show's how bad my english used to be... although it still is shocking.. but better than before...

 

[physician]

same... i don't have darfts... i have drafts for seperate poems.. but not whole complee drafts of my major work...

 

[black_man]

i think at this stage i have 3145 words, and i've got one more poem for inclusion that would make the word count around 3400. So that leaves the other 1500 max for the reflection statement. it's perhaps subject to change though, i have a few more works that are beginning to take shape that might replace the final inclusion.

but yeah, i'm not sure how hard our school might mark us in regards to english, but i can attempt to guess how i have been going...

i think in 2u i'm on 90 or 91, which is first by 7 or 8 marks.

in 3u i would be close to...perhaps, 95? i'm not sure

and 4u, i think maybe 97

I'm sorry Airness, but as physician has pointed out, if this turns into a spam thread it WILL be deleted.

"non-serious" threads such as IPR in the Short Stories subforums are permitted to remain so long as the spam stays there, does not leak into the rest of the forum, and preferably if it does have integrity of some kind (otherwise it is better off in the Non-School forum). IPR is written almost exclusively in fairly formal third-person narration (except when it first began), and has a history of 'mature' conversation, with a sense of decorum and without the netspeak and profanity other spam threads might contain. A second thread in the style of IPR is neither required nor desired by the moderators.

This is a perfectly good thread as it is without degrading itself into a spam thread which WILL be deleted.

Considering the nature of the course, EE2 has a fair bit of creative leeway SO LONG as all posters remember that this forum is specifically for the purpose of EE2 students helping other EE2 students. There HAS been more than one spam thread in the EE2 forums, but it was under special circumstances (MW's had just been handed in, and a hundred or so elated EE2 students needed a place to unwind).

PLEASE take care of all your spamming requirements in Non-School, which was created specifically for that purpose. If you do wish to post in IPR (the 'recreational' EE2 thread) then you are more than welcome - however PLEASE don't go absolutely nuts in there - remember, this is still the EE2 forum!! Not Non-School!

Just finished my first draft last night at 10000 words! now i gotta go see if i can perfect it!

Understood. Hmmm let's think of IPR as for recreational purposes. We scrapped option number 3 remember?
So this thread will be purely for progress reports on our MWs and other subjects. So it's all purely academic :uhhuh:
If anyone spams (including myself), i shall blast them with displeasure and big words until they stop =)

Good work - but for all those thinking of posting in IPR, please remember: Avoid profanity and netspeak, please use third-person narration and respect your fellow IPR poster

And same rules apply for this one. Except third-person narration may be omitted

Now, to get back to the topic at hand, i am still stuck in my endeavour to meld to scenes into one that says the same thing.
I think i may just skip this section first and go on with the rest of the story and come back to it later. Like one would do in a maths test =)

 

[fine ambiguity]

I'd prefer to have to merge stuff than extend stuff.

I finished my draft a week ago and it was THREE THOUSAND WORDS.

Am considering cutting it up into stanzas and putting each sentence on a new line and submitting it as poetry. I'll call it postmodern and people will love me.

Yeah i agree completely. Merging = cutting down words. Extending = more words over the limit lol.

Hmmm if someone has the guts to go against pomo. Now people might not love you as much. But i certainly would

Can anyone give me an interesting/entertaining ending? My play basically consists of two guys plotting to take control of the world...[insert ending here].

goldendawn had the guts to go against pomo. And look where he is now!

... Greece.

Although he did do quite well, and I quite enjoyed his story.
