Welcome to Word Enchilada S01E02
We write prototypes, eat enchiladas and get in
fights
What?
A microquest for Everything2 in the spirit of Game Jams
How?
The updated rules are in Word Enchilada Rules, but here’s the TL;DR
- Just before the Quest starts, a theme will be revealed. Please
don’t spoil it for yourself, only read it after the official start
of the Enchilada1;
- You have 48 hours to write a prototype2 that follows3 the
theme;
- You post the prototype in this node;
- ???
- Profit! You will receive fabulous prizes4
After the Quest is over, you’re encouraged to give the noder below you
some feedback on their prototype. Bear in mind: the goal of Word
Enchiladas is to write for fun and outside of one’s comfort zone, so be
constructive and be kind.
Theme!
The theme for this Enchilada is:
JVGUBHG PBAGEBY > E2 Rot13 Encoder
The suggested nodetype is:
essay
Start and end times
The Word Enchilada starts at March 12, 2021 12:00 PM and ends at
March 14, 2021 12:00 PM in whatever time zone you observe.
Notes for today: Enchiladas will now happen every fortnight until further notice. This means that the Xmas Special will fall on September. Yes, I like that.

2021-03-30 19:22 GMT-0600: These days things got very dark inside my head, which led me to take forever reading your entries. Thank you for taking part :)
-
The idea being that you shouldn’t prepare anything beforehand,
and that you should only have 48 hours to work on your writeup.
But I’m just a footnote, not a policeman.
-
The word “Prototype” is important here: you’re expected to write a
quick draft, not a perfect, well edited writeup.
-
The phrase “Following the theme” is purposefully ambiguous. Be
creative :)
-
Actually, some GP, depending on how much the E2 gods can spare…
