Off topic, just dropping you a line.
I was wondering if there could be a way to indicate whether or not a comedyopenmic entry is a gif with a one liner. I don't usually vote for those and it's kind of annoying sifting through the entries trying to find original work. I realize the one liners are original but I can't vote for borrowed physical comedy. It's for the same reasons I won't vote for old jokes being copy/pasted.
Interesting idea. To introduce a short form / long form tag to allow people a prize for best short form comedy and best long form comedy... I don't think it can be so specific as to be one liner gif or something but maybe a short form category of less than 50 words.
Something like that work for you?
Now you're talking. That's what I'm looking for. Not to discourage anyone from sticking to their form, but just a way that makes it easy to find what I'm looking for. Right now it seems people are following the herd, but I know there are others who can offer something different and in a sense that's not really being encouraged. I can yap for 1000 words. Half of that is build up, the other half, laughs. The true comedy writers. There's a lot of us and I do see it... it's just hard to find. I don't want to step on any toes though, know what I mean? I know Punchline has a tag called 'funny-story', but I never use it, maybe I should... but specialized tags limit visibility, so it's hard for me to change, but maybe I should... or maybe I should just shut the fuck up... but yeah. Whatever I said up there. I tied into the wine shortly after sending that message. Don't mind me.
I'll talk with the other judges and see 8f they agree to the idea
