And thanks @Bad_duck for the names of the top writers here at WF. I've had one excellent writer from this forum who passed away last month(Jay). Right now, AustinP is my guy.  |
Do not mention names of writers here, if they are as good as you say, they have to duke it out here itself!

Sometimes, a buck a word is perfect and to others, the sky is the limit. I dont get where this goes to be honest. The best of writers here are far too busy taking up orders and they are packed tight. Its highly improbable that real good writers will take part in this little showdown. If you notice, the best writers do not even respond to WTB threads. Thats coz clients that know what they want know where to go. Guys like KPaulMedia, Hemux, AustinP and Charlie.Simm are few of the top writers on this board. Others are the ones that are struggling to still learn grammar. Chances are that other smalltime writers are the ones that will be participating in this showdown and if thats the type of content that clients want, they they seriously need to do a raincheck.

I doubt it would have negative effects. Although a good writer might be busy, that is what the 48 hr period is for. In this way, a good writer gets a great reputation, if he is really better than the rest.

Are you daft? What do you think?
As for the main OP thread, count me in as well. But, what about grammatical structuring. I have found that Europeans differ from Americans and I tend to prefer how the Europeans as the Americans make mistakes with their subordinate clauses and plural forms after reflexive pronouns, IMHO. Similarly, one writer might use a "." (period) inside quotes, and another outside quotes. One might put a comma before a coordinating conjunction such as "and", whereas others might not.
