Welcome to Word Enchilada S01E07
We write prototypes, fight our inner demons, get cargo ships unstuck at the Suez Canal, arrive late to posting our own quests, insert emoji 🍅 into e2, burn out of the internet, bake bread, celebrate 20 years of the Spanish Wikipedia, 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:
BIRE OHQTRG
E2 Rot13 Encoder

Start and end times

Notes for today: -
-
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…
