Allegory Contest

[jesusfreak10537]

How long can the story be? Does it have to be a complete story (dumb question, I know!)?

 

[Elohir]

No, it doesn't have to be complete yet. Right now we're only requiring the character information, and the prologues, than we'll require the first chapter. You can enter as much as the story as you want. It doesn't have to be finished, but it can be if you want it to be.

 

[Lessien]

K. Cool. I'll start on it.........

 

[jesusfreak10537]

Cool! I thought up a character and a storyline. Is there a limit on how long the prologue can be?
I shall start writing! Cool!

We need judges! So far we have:

Wishing Angel
Helping Hand

Those are the judges. You guys don't actually have to do anything until May 16th, unless of course you want to help recruite more judges.

So that's what we've gotten so far. You can still join if you want, as either an entrant or a judge, we'll be keeping the sign ups open until May 16th, that's when the judging shall begin. W00t!

Can I be judge??

 

[Elohir]

You sure can be LadyDay.

Jesusfreak, nice screenname, oh, and no, there's no limit as to how long the prologue can be. It can be as long and as detailed as you want it to be. Think of it as a sample of your story. To give the writers a peak at the story, it's plot, your writing, and maybe even your characters. Make them thirst for more! ha ha!

 

[jesusfreak10537]

Wonderful! This contest is pretty much a writer's dream contest. No limit to anything, you can think of anything, and get judged! hehe. I'll start my prologue soon...

 

[CalledToWait]

Count me in. Sounds cool!

Oh yes, please define "prologue"...usually prologue's are just introductions to the story, not the whole plot, often teasers.

Thanks

[Lessien]

Yay! lol. I'll get writing soon......

 

[Elohir]

Prologue - An introduction of your story. You're going to use it to give the judges a sample of your writing ability, your characters and how you use them, and what your story is going to be like. It doesn't have to introduce the plot if you don't want it to, that was just an idea.

 

[CalledToWait]

Okies, sweet. I'll get going on that!

[jesusfreak10537]

We post our entries in the Creative Writing forums with "AC" on the title, right?

 

[Elohir]

Right. Though if you wanted to it wouldn't hurt if you posted here saying that you've posted your stuff in the creative writing forum. That way the Judges know to go and look at it.

 

[Omawna]

Hmm, I'm kinda booked down with school and it looks like you need judges. Mind if I switch to judging?

 

[superhawk007]

id love in how. where would i send this work of fiction to etc etc im brand new however.....let me know and ill write for sure

 

[jesusfreak10537]

Okay, thanks! I'll post in the creative writing forums as soon as I have some time.

 

[Kvikklunsj]

D'oh, at first I thought this said "allergy contest", in which case I would probably win...

 

[CalledToWait]

Pooh, life has taken over. I need to bow out of the contest.

~CalledToWait

 

[Elohir]

Omawna, sure you can be a judge instead of an entrant.

Superhawk, you would put it in the creative writing forum down under Hobbies with the title of the story and AC in paranthesis for the subject.

Calledtowait, that's okay, I'm sure we all understand real life.

 

[Slina]

I'd love to sign up, though I'm not sure whether I'll be able to have time to keep it up. When do we have to have our first entry up by?
