1. Seriously, LIMERICKS? Isn't there something more useful LJ staffers could be doing? WTF?

2. Posted elsewhere my thoughts on SW3 CG scenes (tl;dr version: LOL, and man, they really changed around some of the non-historical relationships), Aoi Hana (tl;dr version: too lacking in structure?, or maybe I just hate slice of life. Bailed after two vols), and Saiunkoku spoilers (tl;dr version: stuff happens, but a lot of stuff fails to happen yet. As usual recent Saiunkoku reads a lot better if you like the higher officials).

I know, but I mean... limericks?

I really wonder how much money they're making from those Best Buy ads. IIRC the AdNectar integration already happened, though, right? Plus there's the part about making a game for the Russian sector.

I know what you mean. The photo people can express a wide variety of nuance, but limericks are kind of a heavy handed form that generally only works well for comedy. I mean, I appreciate the sentiment about sharing creative writing works, but restricting it to limericks is a little gag inducing.

Personally, I think there are so many LJ comms dedicated to sharing creative works that it would be better to collaborate w/ one of them for these contests rather than start a new one.
