Writing Contest

Dec 04, 2004 smittens link
I'm not sure if this goes here or in Community Projects, but I thought this would be a fun idea. Submissions should be less than a page (if you typed it in a word processer w/ times new roman). It can be a prose story, or a poem. Entries are to be judged by me and two other people, who have not yet been picked. Prizes are:

3rd place: A pretend ribbon (and 9000)
2nd place: A make-believe certificate (and 15,000)
1st place: A written (on this topic) paragraph of recignition (and 30,000)

Jokes (however funny you find them) aside, this is a serious contest (although humor entries are accepted). Feel free to base them off screenshots, although you should probably post those too.

Try to keep them PG-13, and without flaming.

--Poem Example-- A possible judge wanted "an example," so I took a screenshot of me getting tailed by 8 station bots, and wrote:

All those little red dots
Are the incompetent [insert nation here] bots

Yes, the prizes aren't *great* but this is really for fun. So start posting!

I request to be a judge.

Okay, but the judges were all gonna split the payment of prizes (and each judge composes one of the psuedo-physical prises ;-) ). So you'd pay 18,000

Heh... I can manage that. I could probably pay all of it.
Dec 04, 2004 smittens link
So could I, but I'd rather not :D

Anyway...back to the contest!

Hooray Itani!

There. I'm the only one who gave a writing piece so I think I win. So i'll take 54,000 credits as my reward. (I believe I won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place) Thank you for your genorosity in the liberal arts, Smittens. Now I want my rewards!

=p

Nobody said the contest even started.

This should be moved in Role Playing.

And I want to participate. Not for the money though. But it's a nice offer.

We need more complete rules:
- Length of story
- imposed subject if any
- Contest start and finish
- A list of rules by wich the story will be juged: eg extra points for style, grammar, non-use of "[nation] sucks".

sounds cool...i already have a story up in the RP section of the message board that I would like to submit. Its called "A story from the vendetta universe, by Tehnare". Have fun reading it if you decide to go on with this idea. ^_^
