I'll just put this here since burter was... well, burter was preoccupied tonight.
I said I'd look for this token about a month ago (1 month and 6 days to be exact). In the time that it took Retane to get one token and start on his second, I still hadn't even started. My net availability has been very limited this semester. Therefore, I haven't had a chance to actually write until the past few days. Therefore, I posted my work as soon as it was finished.
That being said, I don't expect Burter to read it all instantly. He does a lot, and I totally understand. But I can't be expected to string out my posts (in a self-run thread) with my availability. I have already waited a month, if I had spread out my posts to 2-3 a day it would have taken another week and a half. I don't really want to be punished for my schedule. you know?
Yes, I'm on the site for like an average of 15 mins a day, but I'm usually either at work or I have the window open while im doing school work. My online time here, in no way, indicates my time to sit down and write out a quest.
Now, I understand that this is a competition and not everyone can sit down and write down an entire quest in like 24-48 hours. But let's review, this thread has been a month in the making for me. I said I was doing it forever ago. I just needed the time to write it. Conversely, I don't expect Burter to read that much work in one day. I'm not contending that i should be allowed to crank out a level 3 token quest every other day. What I'm doing here is explaining why I posted everything at once and hoping that my "scolding" will pass.
Also, I was under the impression that our posts should be around 1,000 word long max because staff didn't like exceptionally long posts. Could I have posted all my typed up work in one post... sure. But under a system that grades via "rps"/ posts... why would I do that and penalize myself?
I'll definately try to spread my posts out, if I have the time to do so, in the future because I always want to make staff's jobs easier. They do a lot for us, and I fully understand this. However, I'd really appreciate some understanding when, after completeing a semester of school, internship, a job, and a relationship I dont find a the time to "spread out my posts" within a preferred time span. I do the best I can in all regards, as I know staff does as well.
In summation, Burter take your time reading my work. I don't expect you to read that much in one day. However, please understand that I can only function within my given availibility.
