1. I agree, and I've changed it (hopefully that's okay, Fiery)
2. I think of Ping as a writer in its own right (possibly our only robot writer!), but maybe you're right. I've changed that too.
3. I suspect I've undercut Part II by some 5000 words, which will bring it up to a novel. I was waiting for Fiery's confirmation though.

1. Character accounts should go to the owner, but…
2. …I'd credit Ping to itself. It's only 250 words or so anyway.
3. I didn't do any adjustment. If it's 5000 longer in the forum, then that's correct.

My dates are probably off because the board's using my Japan time zone. True "Ambrosia time" would be EST, I suppose.

All right, what happened to THE STREETS? Did I tick Tyry off enough that he exacted revenge by deleting poor cgends' abandoned chronicle? :(

THE STREETS have been cleaned up. (Which means, since it's a TS, it was moved to the Cythera forum.)

Please write Chronicles, TS posts, and Tavern posts, everyone! I encourage everyone to write as much as possible in the remainder of this month. It's important to write now for a couples of reasons. 1) if we can post 25,663 more words in Chronicles by New Year's, then 2014 will beat 2002 as most Chronicle-words in a year. 2) I got the impression that Wizzy's website will be deleted at the end of the year, and if he doesn't move it to his graduate-school website, it might be gone forever! ;_; If anyone else is like me and likes to use his website for reference when writing vaguely-Cythera-related stories, hurry up and use it now before it's gone!

I just posted chapter 19 at 4464 words, plus the word count for ch18 is 104 higher than listed in the spreadsheet because I edited in a new draft.

I'm doing my part. Are you doing yours? *cue WWII-era propaganda poster*

I might try to contribute, but, unfortunately, I suspect that I will not necessarily have time. (I might this weekend, but I'm not certain about my internet or computer access.)

I believe with Tyry's chronicle, we have now beaten 2002 by about 10,000 words! Yay! *confetti*

Do we have any way of finding stories that aren't in the Chronicles forum? Obviously, there's the various Glass Menagerie stories, but also e.g. the Cinderei story, which is decently-sized (around 5k words) but basically impossible to find.

Looks easy to find for me: http://www.ambrosias...howtopic=133248

Well, I can't seem to open the chronicle spreadsheet anymore. I've tried three times (I even tried in FireFox once!), and each time it slowed down my whole computer (like, 5-10 minutes to recognize a single click, slow) until I finally managed to force quit. What is going on? :(

It was a little slow loading for me (like 10 seconds), but working now. Try again?

Very nice spreadsheet, Pallas and BW! It's loading really slowly for me too, but it does eventually work. I find it amusing that BW has written the longest Cythera chronicle ever and that it's an entry in the Avrianna story.

Honestly, I think it's all the URLs to the forum that load slowly. The data itself shouldn't be that bad.

Dude, you know how huge that spreadsheet is? My computer slows way down just looking at my own chronicle spreadsheet, and mine doesn't even have separate rows for each chapter, or any hyperlinks at all.

I wonder if we should strip the URLs out. I never had trouble loading the spreadsheet until those went in, and it's only going to get worse.

You can read whatever implication you like; that doesn't make it true.

The spreadsheet loads well enough initially for me, but it can be a little slow to navigate afterward.

Interesting, given the effort it took in 2014 to beat 2002 before the end of December. I wonder how much further the word count will be pushed this year.
