shelven Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Oh wow, I didn't expect this round to be so early I have a lot of different options I can choose from, so I'll have to think on this one a bit. I have one initial idea, but I'm not sure if it's my best possible option.
lhdang2000 Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 I actually thought of this topic yesterday and I knew exactly what I'm gonna use.
Queen Conchita Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Went back to see previous rounds and didn't realise you did a Conchita round! I thought it would be after I saw the topic title!

lhdang2000 Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 The thing is after I picked out those two songs, I realized those are two of my most favorite songs in '25' and I did make a promise not to use any song twice. Now I have to rethink all over again.
shelven Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Any chance we make make the word limit 300 words instead of 250? It's REALLY difficult to discuss two different songs, how they're opposites, and how they both contribute to an album in just 250 words

I submitted earlier and decided to cut the entire opening just to fit 250. But it was a really fun challenge tho.

But it might not be if I have to figure out a way to cut another 50 words (I had already had to cut 35 because my first draft was 335 words)

But like I said, it's like an additional challenge that's sometimes really fun to see how you twist with words to make it exactly 200 or 250 too, especially with rounds like this.

I normally enjoy that part too, but I find this one in particular is too small of a word limit. This exact same challenge last season was 300 words

This exact same challenge last season was 300 words Well since maybe I didn't get to this challenge last round so I'm easier to adapt with 250. I think @Pedro might extend if most people feel difficult tho. Edited March 2, 2017 by lhdang2000
