Welcome to Word Enchilada S01E04
We write prototypes, fight our inner demons, get cargo ships unstuck
at the Suez Canal, 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:
NYJNLF VA CNVEF
E2 Rot13 Encoder
The suggested nodetype is:
fiction
Start and end times
The Word Enchilada starts at April 09, 2021 12:00 PM and ends at
April 11, 2021 12:00 PM in whatever time zone you observe.
Notes for today: S03 awards are still pending and are coming. I'm sorry, I'm not in a right frame of mind. «I'll be here when it all gets weird». Be excellent to each other.

2021-05-21, 1058 GMT-0500: Sorry for the delay, still burnt out of the internet and job searching... Also, was this a "bad" prompt? I wish to continue hosting these events, but if they start being boring or a chore, I will stop them.

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…
