User blog:Forestpaw13/Contest :)

Alright, so, this is a contest!

Wow, that was the worst introduction in my whole life.

Well, anyway, yeah, I had an idea for a contest, and I'll be the judge.

Er... so, you take a song, and you make a songfic. The thing is, it can't be a short story. It has to have at least 5 chapters.

Judging is based on spelling (20), grammar (30), plot (20), song relevance (20), and timeliness (10). Scores are out of 100.

Please, no extensions. If I see a need for one, I will do so, but otherwise, just don't ask.

When you enter the contest, you are obligated to tell me what the song is. Two people can do the same song but I don't recommend it unless you feel as if you have a good idea.

Please work on your songs privately. This means: do not edit them directly in the wiki. Edit them in Microsoft Word or Notepad or whatever, but I don't want to see or hear anything about it until August 23rd. I don't care how awesome it is or if it's finished or whatever. I won't hear it. I don't care if you're in a PM on the IRC and I seem all happy... the answer is no. On that happy note, no telling anybody else! What if they steal your idea? What if it fits their song perfectly? Nooo, I think they should be kept secret. :P Thanks.

Songs can be previously planned ones that you have not started yet. Songs can become a part of the songfic series.

Placing:

3rd place: Yay! You got 3rd place. Be happy about it.

2nd place: Yay! You got 2nd place. Choose a song for my next songfic.

1st place: Yay! You got 1st place. I still need to come up with an awesome prize for you. :)

Got any questions? Post on the blog!

Dates:

By August 16th(Tuesday) you should have a song to give to me. After 5:00pm EST, I will not accept any more people.

By August 23rd(Tuesday) you should be pretty much finished. Posting your songfics can begin on this day (after 9:00 EST). Please don't post in-progress songfics. When you post them, no editing anything. I'll protect the page as soon as I see it so you can't. :) And then I'll unprotect it after the contest.

By August 27th(Saturday) everybody should be finished. I will not accept any more entries into the contest after 5:00pm EST. If you post any later, points will be taken off your score.

I'll judge starting August 28th (and yes, that is a Sunday and I am in school by then but I don't care).
