User blog:FallingPetals/Contest? (Cancelled)

I wanted to get that old, nasty "sorry" blog out of the way and post something new. I've been busy with schoolwork, writing APF and working on LAP (Life as Promised), and some other things, but I thought to myself, "When I'm not busy with stuff, how cool would it be to read some stories that are in a contest I make? Hmm..." And ta-da! This blog was made. I'm probably going to not work on my stories as much (even though not much work was made on them anyways), I mean, with so little views on it, nobody will notice me not working on it (I don't want sympathy, I'm kind of used to it XD).

Now, there are requirements for this contest, like every contest. Please just follow them and we'll have no problem.

1. The story can be in any view point, but I would prefer third person. Not that first person and second person aren't that good, but I just like third person for some reason, since it's easier to understand for me and because it's easier for me to write. You can write in any view, though.

2. Please use proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. Please, PLEASE, make a new paragraph when a different character speaks. It might not seem like a big deal, but it makes things WAY less confusing.

3. There needs to be dialog in your story. I know this requirement might not be important, but I just think dialog is interesting.

4. The book must be at least seven chapters or more (you might get more points up if you have extra) and with a minimum of three paragraphs in them. Prologue and epilogue are optional, but recommended.

5. I need two other judges, but if you are a judge, you cannot rate your own story! It just makes things fair.

6. There should be at least three main characters, which must be apprentices of any age, in your story. You can switch to different view points between them in every chapter,or you can just focus it on one of them. You are allowed to create your own character, but I'll make some in case you need it. They'll have detailed descriptions and personalities so you have a better image of them. The rest of the characters in the book can be made up, but they'll probably be supporting or minor.

7. Have fun!

The deadline will be decided upon later, depending on how many people enter. Also, the winner will receive a drawing of one of their characters, or a character from the warriors books, a character named after them, (most likely in LAP), and a custom signature (if they want it)! Also, I'll read three of their stories and leave detailed comments on them!

Available characters (I'll make more if I run out):

Mintpaw - Mintpaw is a gray tabby she-cat with mint-green eyes and a fluffy tail. She is shy, quiet, and a bit depressing. However, she is a big softie and is always nice to others. She is better at hi punting than fighting and hates the smell of blood. She's not one who tries new ideas and takes criticism harshly.

Smokepaw - Smokepaw is a white tom with black spots on his body and green eyes. Smokepaw is a loyal, steadfast cat who will never betray his clan and always follows the warrior code. However, he is a bit creative in situations and tries to solve a problem, combining his own ideas with what he has to do. He doesn't see it as betrayal, just as a different way to serve his clan. He is friendly around his Clanmates, however, and can be a bit flirty at times. He is an excellent fighter.

Blackpaw - Blackpaw is a black tom with a long tail, a few scars on his body, and yellow eyes. Blackpaw is mysterious and kind of rude, but he's not a bully. However, he is not afraid to break the warrior code if it feels right to him. He takes criticism lightly and is close-minded to a lot of things. He has no sense of humor and is serious all of the time. He is a hard nut to crack, but he'll only be nice to ones very close to him.

Cherrypaw - Cherrypaw is a dark ginger tabby and white she-cat with a light ginger tail, a nick in her ear, and amber eyes. She is very focused, not being easily distracted like other cats her age. She is not afraid to help others and can be seen as a goody goody. However, she is not afraid to joke around with fellow apprentices, but never tries to hurt their feelings.

Beechpaw - Beechpaw is a pale brown tom with thick fur and blue eyes. Beechpaw is pretty smart and is good with coming up with ideas. He just seems to know what to say and how to say it. He's a good motivator and loves to get others feeling good about themselves. He does it because deep down inside, it makes him feel good about himself.

Fernpaw - Fernpaw is a tortoiseshell and white she-cat with clear, yellow eyes and a thin tail. Fernpaw is gentle and sweet, something a tom looks for in a she-cat. She is always nice to others and hates losing her temper. Loud noises, like thunder, scare her. Fernpaw is always considerate and likes to compliment others, but sometimes this can be taken as flirting.

Sparrowpaw - Sparrowpaw is a light brown tabby tom with a white blaze on his face and paws and yellow eyes. Sparrowpaw has been troublesome ever since he was a kit: sneaking out of camp, eating herbs, pranking other kits. However, the tom became more rebellious as he got older. He wouldn't do something too up huge, like murder, but he likes to take others buy surprise with he little, mischievous acts. He sometimes breaks the code, and thinks highly of himself.

Beepaw - Beepaw is a fluffy, ginger tabby she-cat with dark stripes and amber eyes. She is a bit annoying and loud, but she tries to be nice to others. She can be a bit jumpy and hesitant to do things, but she ends up doing them anyways. She likes to help others, but she keeps being persistent when they say no.

Acornpaw - Acornpaw is a sleek, light brown tom with darker ears and tail and green eyes. He is distracted a lot, but he doesn't have ADD or ADHD, he just is distracted with things on his mind. Acornpaw doubts himself a lot, due to him not being able to focus as easily, but he keeps it to himself. He is not afraid to make changes in his life, no matter how hard it is.

Dawnpaw - Dawnpaw is a cream-furred she-cat with amber eyes and a slim body. She is a bully, making fun of other apprentices around her. However, she acts like a perfect, little angel around warriors. She never tells anybody, but the reason why she bullies others is because she feels ugly and she takes it out on other apprentices that she thinks are unattractive so she feels better about herself. Truth is, sometimes, the cats she bullies are the ones she thinks are beautiful/handsome, and is merely jealous of them.

Mallowpaw - Mallowpaw is a light brown tabby she-cat with a white muzzle, paws, underfur, and tail-tip with amber eyes. She is a procrastinator, always coming up with excuses like "I'll do it later!" or "I was just about to!" She is pretty much lazy and leaves some tasks unfinished. Not many cats trust her with tasks, so she doesn't really have a lot of friends.

Pinepaw - Pinepaw is a pine-brown colored tom with nicks in both ears, a scar on his nose, and green eyes. He is merciless in battle and is not afraid to kill to win a battle. He doubts himself a lot, so he tries to be the best he can be, even if it means ripping apart his opponents. He is kind of cold-hearted and snaps at other cats easily. Pinepaw also has the scent of pine on him, since it's his favorite tree. He got his name days after he was able to run since his mother had no idea what to name him, and she always saw him playing with pine needles.
