@all: I only placed the sadnbox idea if in the case you wish to work with someone else prior to releasing a champion. If it's all a self-endeavor, then yes, a word doc or txt doc should work.

@ClayHuang: I believe the "how to create a sandbox" should be explained somewhere, as it can be useful for those who wish to format on the wiki instead of stowing their ideas away for the surprise. To make it short, creating a page with "User:your name/{{tt|Sandbox|or any other names such as Sandbox XX or my sandbox" should suffice in creating your own user space.

@Will: Will, you cover one of my gripes well. You did also did point out before how Nearthel's idea of porting WoW-to-LoL is nothing short of being a wonderful idea, but as you attest, the efforts I see with the last three works don't offer up to the expectations.

@Nearthel: I will apologize foremost for my haughty attitude. I could blame it on a tiresome weekend, but that shouldn't garner unneeded animosity to others, even if your actions were bitter on my tongue.

In response to what you have said, what I wished to say with "look back and improve your ideas" is to review old concepts first before posting new ones. Managing multiple blogs leads to slow production, and as seen with Eric, there isn't much progress even when you say you've reviewed them.

When I say "one concept a week," even if you had a spark of imagination and a will to release more, I ask of you to hold your horses. You miss the point that you should display etiquette on the wiki and not post blogs in batches, even if you've been enlightened. This causes the given reasons of filling up the front page space, along with leading to multiple blogs you will need to maintain. If you believe you can maintain them, sure, go ahead, but I will say that people expect better from someone who works on one concept than multiple at the same time.

And (not to boast) I have over 25 concepts listed on a word doc too. Most of them are just at thematic levels, others have a kit filled out. A couple more need a bit more done to be a complete kit while other require the formatting. We are in the same "boat." Even then, I'm not going to just release the good ones just because they are ready in my eyes. Before doing so, I plan on consulting others about them and waiting till I have something worthwhile to put out. This point above is also in regards to releasing speed, which I've already explained above.

Comments only gets someone so far. When your blog is off the front page, unless you have dedicated followers (or critiques who are truly aware of your continued progress), your comments section will become a deserted wasteland within a month if not a week. If you want feedback on a concept you've been working with behind the scenes, ask people who either have critiqued your work or new people who are regular critiques with good things to say. Solely relying on the comments section (and swaying to their demands) makes you less of a concept creator and more of a blogger in that respect.
