I realized a few days ago, I've never made a blog here. Also, Crane was begging people to make contests. So, for my first blog, I've got a new sorta contest. Now that I know how to put documents on my Kindle, I can read stories while I'm out as well as at home, but sadly I'm lacking in books to read. So I've got an idea.
The Contest[]
This contest will have several topics. They are: Action, Adventure, Romance, Tragedy, and Horror.
You may enter up to three stories, but not in the same genre. No more than five stories for each. Wow, that's a lot of reading, but I think I got this ;) I'm just hoping for enough entries.
Rules[]
Length doesn't matter at all to me, as long as it isn't too impossibly long for me to read.
You will be judged by a mark out of 50. 10 points for grammar. 10 points for plot. 10 points for well-developed characters. 10 points for originality. And 10 points for how much I/the judge enjoyed it overall.
This is where it becomes different: The stories must have already been started, and preferably completed. They can even be old contest entries. I don't require fics made especially for my contest - I actually don't really want them. You can sign yours up anytime, but if they are not complete by January 1st, they will be disqualified.
Prizes[]
Prizes, prizes, prizes. Well, I can say there will be First, Second, and Third place awards for each of the topics. I'm not sure what these awards will be - if you have an idea, comment. Thanks Ash for offering siggies, they'll likely be included.
Any more judges will be welcome! Like Ash, you can enter a story (or more) and still judge, as long as you are judging a different catergory. Also, I think I might have an additional prize for my overall favourite story if I can think of a prize...
