Welcome to the Contest Board! This place is pretty simple, and it's intended to be a place to cure writer's block! So read up if you're interested!
The Rules of the Contest Board:
So there! Easy rules, right? Right. That's what I thought. Now let me introduce you to the two probably most numerous types of contests that will be on the Contest Board:
So there you have it! Sound like fun everyone?
The Rules of the Contest Board:
- Only the admins are to post contests, as they will be decent-sized events. If you have a contest you want to put up, put it up on the Hyper Chat or Muse Camp board, or you can request myself or Bethany to hold it for you!
- No cheating. Obviously. Don't know how you could possibly cheat in these contests (or why you'd want to, as there isn't really a PRIZE except for "good job you win!"), but I'm sure there's a way, and DON'T DO IT!
- Have fun! Be creative! If you like the plot, story, character, or whatever that the contest centers around and you want to use it, just let us know. ^^
So there! Easy rules, right? Right. That's what I thought. Now let me introduce you to the two probably most numerous types of contests that will be on the Contest Board:
- "Write the Chapter" Contest: You will be given a small excerpt that is the beginning of a story. It will contain a given setting and a character/s, and you will be asked to finish writing the chapter! You can add whatever you want to make it your own - have the characters meet someone else and go somewhere else, introduce a villain, kill everyone, hell it doesn't matter. The object is to use what is given to you and write something with it. The contest will continue with the winner's chapter, and will keep going like that until there's an ending! Or until myself or Bethany designates an ending for it.
- "Character Beef" Contest: Given to you will be a picture and brief description of a character. The contest is to make a full bio hashing out everything about that character and writing a small chapter about them. The idea is to customize the character and give it a personality based on it's appearance and general hash. These are fun. ^^
So there you have it! Sound like fun everyone?
