Dear Nashville,

Please accept my apologies, on behalf of Melbourne, Australia, for the flogging that we are about to give you. We shall beat you with the overall page counts. We shall beat you with the page counts per person. We shall beat you with... um... no, that's all of the important bits. But in the event that someone comes up with another really good measure of success, we'll beat you using that as well.

Best wishes, and bring on the proof wielding widgets.

What is this? Just a few days before kickoff and an infiltrator has come in to talk smack about us?

Just remember, Dear Talea, as you worry about why your toilet flushes in the wrong direction, we'll be writing... and writing... and writing... and writing... and you'll be, well, pondering why gravity lets you stay on the Earth while you hang upside down....

Nashville, are we going to stand for this???

yes you are :P

YOu know, guys... I'm not worried.
Talea and her gang are going to fall in with a group of Koala bears, adapt their sleeping habits and, well, four hours a day just isn't enough time to write 100 pages....

fly, you know a lot about our country.
Are you a wannabe Aussie?

Melbourne will win because the Nashville gang will undoubtedly become addicted to their iPhones and zone out of the writing experience.

gimme an M, gimme an E, Gimme an L,B,O,U,R,N,E!

... is it so cruel of me to point out that Melbourne currently has 61 affliated writers, whereas Nashville only has 26?

Nah. We should let Nashville entertain the delusion that they actually stand a chance a little while longer.

You can have 61 MILLION writers, and it just won't matter, since we go by average.... When my 26 writers write 2600 pages and your 61 writers write 1400 pages, you'll be crying in your platypus egg soup.

There's a drought in Australia so my theory is they'll have to spend far too much time seeking water to rehydrate themselves instead of writing. We have nothing to worry about.

Yes, I'm an interloper, but I'm rooting for the Tennesseans. At least I've been to Tennessee! Although I do like Aussie wines....

Well, they'll be busy guzzling Little Pink Penguin since they've no water to consume. Not so sure you can write a movie while plastered.

Actually, I find being plastered rather helpful for any sort of creative writing endeavour. But what is Little Pink Penguin?
