Ned: Yes, that's the one. Wait, you're kidding, right? An administrator wrote it? Oh man, then for sure there's an argument that that whole contest was rigged. Or, at the very least, cheap promotion.

I mean, I would personally believe that nobody else had a fighting chance of writing a pasta if the host or winner were considered royalty. I guess it would make sense if royalty were hosting the contest (but at the same time, it could be argued that gaming the system is still possible) but the winner? I highly doubt that that's a coincidence.

That's ridiculous. As I said, I didn't care for a rewrite and, much like Skelly, I didn't read it either. I had no desire to and still don't, so have no fears of spoilers, Ned. And if those are the stark differences, then it sounds rather dull and if they changed how Jeff got his infamous scarring and no longer has any relation to that image, well then, if you ask me, it's not "Jeff the Kiler" anymore.

I still find these "rewrite" things pretty silly and now that you both have enlightened me that the winner was an administrator, I find it to be a much flashier version of a Pasta of the Month contest; the flashiness aspect being it's permanent, will the be the story that shows up when you search for it on here (therefore considered the "official version") and you're considered the "savior" of a classic Pasta that's gone bad. On top of all of that, I now see these contests as nothing more than advertisements.

Skelly: Yep, I think our hearts are as one there. The whole thing was a joke and I was amazed at how people were so giddy and excited about it happening. I just rolled my eyes and knew right away that the winning story was just going to be the same thing with some bells and whistles added to it.
