How long would this short story be? I once got an A in History for ruining an essay about "Being a French Peasent in the Middle Ages" and "How would you communicate with eachother? How would you get supplied? etc." into a manifesto on how I would take over Western Europe as a French Peasent.

 

And I could help judge, I don't give good rating out like candy unless it's something I really like.


I was thinking 750 or 1000 word limit to keep it manageable on the forum, without being to limiting to fleshing out the story and characters.

as for "And I could help judge" no you couldn't lol you would have to pick one; ) can't have people judging their own work can we now lol.

Check out my hype threads: Cyberpunk, and The Witcher 3!

Around the Network

I already have to write about 8 short stories for my Creative writting class so I'm not doing anything except copy pasting those if I do this >_>



Former something....

I'm really interested in this contest.  I have been told I am a good writer by teachers I know but I would be really interested in people who don't know me personally to critique my writing.  Even if no actual prize is given, I would definitely would like to enter as just the though of unbiased judges critique my writing skills.  Creative writing is an interest of mine so it would be a good idea for me to enter.  Whatever the theme is required for the competition, I should at the very least come up with an interesting concept.

Do it! You don't really need to have a prize if there isn't enough interest to warrant one, but this is a really fun idea. Even if it was just a weekly thread where you decide the theme I think it'd be a good idea.


yea maybe I will just run a fortnightly (gives people time to write) thread and maybe pick the top 5 and making a poll so people can vote for their favourite just for bragging rights lol. 

So now I just got to decide on what the first theme will be lol.

The Console Wars is the easiest theme.



eh the brotherhood of Roma and Soma :D

 

:P
