Now with a NES FAQ for each letter of the alphabet!
From: King Kool | Posted: 5/1/2005 6:47:37 PM | Message Detail
I never had KB days like that. I don't watch how many KBs I do normally. The highest increase in KBs is either transcribing questions for the Banjo-Kazooie quizzes or formatting the FAQ with line breaks and such.

I do remember three separate days where I wrote creatively in a fervor. I've gotten seventeen hundred words in an hour-and-a-half in a story that must not be very good. I also did about the same number in an evening in a work I'm more satisfied with.

Anyway, I don't ever think I'm whipped into such a FAQwriting frenzy as to do more than a few KBs in a day. Though I DID finish all the Easy Puzzles in a single day... how much was that?

(calculates)

About twenty KBs.

So, I guess I have done something like it before. The problem is most of the time I'm working fast, I never think to measure these things because I'm so incensed.

I did most of my MGS2 script in the course of a few days. Not sure how many KBs that was though...

I think in the past three months though I've done around 3 KBs total. I've slowed down a bit... >_>

I've done 150-160 KB in two days, and I believe A I e x, me frog, and Siniroth are capable of doing that in one day.

Way back when I was capable of like 40-80K a day, but nowadays I am too busy with other things to get in anything mroe than 10 K (on a dedicated day).

I think the most I've done is about 50KB, but I may have done more (that was just one time when I was counting). It's rare that I actually work on something straight for a day anyway, I get distracted or put off easily.

Yeah, not someone who's never plagarized. Then it's just a stupid joke. Which is about right, knowing your sense of "humor".

I don't really keep track of how much I do, or whatever the most I've done it one day is. If I look at what I've done since summer started then I've been averaging about 60KB/day... but that's probably because I was just looking forward to starting off some new stuff after finals, coupled with the that I'm really enjoying my current project. But it's nice that people notice ^_^

In the past I've done over 100KB in a day. That was only once and I didn't have anything else to do. It's fully possible.

I'm taking 16 credits in college now on top of working part time. I can barely keep up with stuff as it is without FAQing anything.

I did 120+ KB on a FAQ one day. Then Sulpher came over, bombed my house, and pissed on the ashes. :(. I had to start ALL over again.

You people are crazy... I don't think I've ever done that much in a single day. Then again it depends what you're doing really, I don't do a lot of big charts/lists or anything that often, if I did I imagine it wouldn't be that hard to do I guess.

Well, didn't you do a 700 kb FAQ in a week (or something like that)?

You still write quite a bit though. Back in december...didn't you have around 2000 kb?

As for the first thing, I think my fastest work was probably Xeno Ep II, which was 500 in 10, not 700 in 7... might not seem like a big difference... but it sort of is. For the second thing, I probably did.

I did my AFL 2004 guide, 490-ish K, in a week. Though most of that was boring statistics, I don't know why I included those. I did 180K of those in one day, damn did I drop dead at the end of it...

You ever notice that when you get feedback from people it's usually "Hey, I really liked your _____ guide. Thanks!" but when you get feedback from other contributors it's always like "Hey, I can't believe you have _____ KB! Wow!" ... because it's something I notice >_>

I'm not saying there's anything wrong, it's just kind of unfortunate that circumstances don't allow us to actually make real use of each other's guides more often :(
