WRITING COMPETITION
November 16th till December 15th.
Fine print.
- Participants will write a story not limited by length unless specified by the month's rules.
- It's impossible for a judge to be impartial in this kind of competition where, for instance, great writing can save a meager plot. So the voting will be public.
- The competition should last a month. After that, we will have five days for voting. These deadlines are not absolute, but try to meet them.
- The object of this is to write a story. It can be a short story with 10 lines, it can be a whooper with 20 pages. It can have no characters, or a myriad of them. It can be in first person, or third; present or past or future tense. Your ONLY limitations are the ones the rules state, if any.
- The winner provides the theme and rules for the next comp.
- The comp-starter may participate. It's happened already, and this voting system should eliminate unfairness. Of course, out of fairness, the comp starter should start it without already forming an idea of the story he may write
Blegh, I bored of those stories about vampires and orcs. It's time to think up a new creature!
Your mission, if you have the SAND to except, is to write a tale about a new, original fantasie creature.
It can be set in a fatasie, modern or sci-fi realm.
It can be shoking story about an alien with twelve mouths, or a fairytale about a glowing butterfly.
But it can't be a mixture of existing creatures, like a zombie dragon or a liger (a cross between a lion and a tiger, and there's magic involved).
Remeber, it's not how cool the monster is but how good the story is that wins the prize.
There's no magic in a Liger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liger) :P

Deb: What are you drawing?
Napoleon Dynamite: A liger.
Deb: What's a liger?
Napoleon Dynamite: It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374900/)
How should I post the story? Copy/paste the text or upload link to the .doc/.rtf?
Because of a lack of interest in the Writing contest recently, this activity is temporarily suspended.
There won't be any new rounds of it from now on, until there are more interests and ideas, that it may have a comeback.
If you want to discuss about it, just use this thread (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=27157.0).
