Official writing contest thread: September
09-01-2011, 01:18 PM
Contest runs from September 1st through September 27th. Judges will have the 28th and 29th to decide on a winner with the results to be announced on the 30th. A second and third place will be announced if we have enough entries.
Please post your entries in this thread rather than making a new thread for your entries. Having them all in one place makes it a little bit easier on everyone.
Current theme: Halloween
Since we spent so much time talking about this competition, the surprise for the theme kind of vanished a long time ago. It doesn't have to be solely related to just the holiday though. It could revolve around pumpkins, show the origin of candy, or be about the fall/autumn season. As long as its something that will remind people of this time of year. If you're unsure whether your idea qualifies for the competition, shoot me a PM or feel free to ask away here in this thread.
Random item: football
As part of these competitions, I like to try and throw something in there that's a little challenging. The random item is something that needs to be squeezed into your story somehow. It doesn't have to play a pivotal role in your story, but it should be featured in some capacity.
Word count: 3,000 words
We'll start small. Entries should not exceed 3,000 words.
You can post your entries as you finish them or you can wait until it's closer to the deadline. It's up to you.
NO FANFICTION! No remakes, reboots, or sequels to your favorite movies or novels. Original works only, please.
