For those who have reached the end of NanoWrimo this year

As of today various people on my friends list will have stopped NanoWrimo-ing. Some may continue to complete what they started. Some may have used it to advance current works in progress and will now be going back to re-edit their work. And some will have written plotless drivel, sacrificing grammar, spelling and characterisation in slavery to the all important word count.

Where ever you think you fall, regardless of how bad you writing may have been, I can guarantee it is better than this:

The Eye of Argon

FYI: It was published in a fan based sci-fi magazine in 1970. It was written by a (now dead) sixteen year old who went on to complete a degree in Journalism. It has and is used as the basis for a competition/game at sci-fi conventions. It has been referenced in various games including Duex Ex, Ultima VIII, Vagrant Story and Guild Wars.

The rules for those who are curious )
