What do you mean with a fanfic competition?


Edit: About this short story competition. Are those stories only about anime or is everything allowed?

Think I'll add a poll and try to think up some ground rules

[EVR]

Short story competition in my opinion would be nice. Gives much more space for creativity than Fan fiction. Count me in if so.

[danko]

how short is a short story?

comic strip style? oh sorry meant manga...

[Teckniec]

hmmm I like the short story idea

[Joss]

What will be the plot

[vanteya37]

It looks like short story gets the majority vote but please consider the fact that you guys have to read them all to vote a winner

1st things 1st - We need to pick
Genre (comedy, sci-fi, fantasy, horror, romance, action?)
Theme (Do I really need to explain this?)
Prize (What do you think the winner should get?)
Time (Is the competition going to be weekly or monthly?)
People (officials to help with the thread & stuff, I'd vote Verlaine but he's leaving soon)

I think the winner should be able to choose the genre as well as the theme (Unless the person doesn't want to of course, then one of the admins might choose a genre and theme).

Maybe start the first competition with fantasy(Genre) and freestyle(Theme), to keep it simple at the beginning.

Hmmm as a prize... Maybe receive a small winner medal or something?

I would make it monthly, since you need to think and come up with a good story.

So as officials: vanteya37, Verlaine (but apparantly he's leaving soon), Nygus-sama? and ...

Also a Hall of Fame would be good.

Genre and theme should be left for each writer to decide, in my opinion. What we should decide tho is the total max lenght (in words I assume) of the stories.

That about the max. length is a great idea, then we should also have a min. length.
Hmmm maybe a min. of 250 words and a max. of 500 words?

This way the stories that we'll be reading will not be too long...
