Let's Play the Rejection Game!

[richlayers]

This is a little project that ladytairngire and I have been working on today, which will hopefully be a game we continue to play for... the rest of our lives. Errr, I mean until we're so prestigious that we never get rejected from anything ever again. (I'm lookin' at you, Neil Gaiman.)

Rejection letter points will be tallied at the end of each month.

The point scale:

Novels to Print Publisher: 100 points
Novels to Agent: 75 points
Agent Submission Rejected by Publisher: 50 points
Short stories/picture books: 25 points
Poems: 10 points

Graphic novel scripts are negotiable based on length.

+5 points for a personalized rejection.

The winner each month will receive a personalized token gift of no more than $10 cash value.

Did you just make up that tag for this entry?

Also, I am going to start a private project involving how many times I can get you to add a post to the Lady Tairn Gire tag.

A good idea! But I doubt I'll ever be nearly prolific enough to be a serious player...

Yeah, you'd have to be a writer seriously seeking publication of any and all your work. Otherwise it's kind of pointless to play. :) But you could adapt it for other things in life. This version is very specific for what my friend and I are trying to accomplish.
