Magic Written Contest for Newbies

<img:http://www.elftown.com/stuff/2237_wiki_help_9y7vcgcflr5.jpg>

Deadline: July 31st 2008


Rules:

1 - Only people who have Not Won an official Elftown poetry or prose Competition before can enter. If you already have won a competition, then you can enter at Magic Written Contest for Veterans

2 - NO STEALING LITERATURE. The prose/poetry MUST be written by you. If anyone is found to be stealing someone else's work they will be disqualified from this and all future official written contests. The piece that you enter should be new, and must not have been submitted to a contest previously.

3 - No fan-fiction in this contest. We accept that you may be inspired somewhere, but if you write a story with a land called Marmia containing Baslam the lion, it's not going to cut it with us. Original work here please.

4 - If you're submitting a prose entry, the story must be no less than 500 words and no more than 3000. Obviously, verse entries can be far shorter, but certainly not longer.

5 – No pornography or excessive violence please. Use your common sense as to what would be acceptable and what not, but the crew's decision in this matter is final.

6 - You may submit one poem and/or one story to this contest (but not two poems or two stories).

7 - Quality restrictions. If you want us to put effort into reading the story/poem, put effort into writing it. Stories/poems with exceptionally bad spelling and/or grammar will be disqualified. If your story/poem isn't going to make the cut, we'll put a comment underneath the entry saying so.


What will we be expecting? Creativity!

Theme:

Magic. It's a very broad theme, so you've got lots of artistic license. Your story can be of someone casting a spell, or of a clearly magical object or creature. That means, some kind of spell or magical effect should be obvious in the story. Do not simply enter a story about magical creatures standing there. We want action! If you're not sure about your idea, ask in the comments, and one of the crew will give you an answer.

Entries not following the theme will be removed.

2008-07-14 [Chimes]: Dukey, hurry up and enter! :P

This contest will be hard to judge, I don't envy the judges.

2008-07-14 [SilverFire]: Well if you submit it, I'll tell you if it fits or not. :)

2008-07-14 [shirono]: I'll submit as soon as I can do some editing on it, I was tired when I wrote it and there are definitely some sections that need to be gone back over. I would have done it last night, but the power went out in my neighborhood...

2008-07-15 [Mitsuki The Wolf Girl]: Neat, I would love to read another story about vampires to do some comparing! ^^

2008-07-15 [shirono]: I will have the story posted by next Monday, unfortunately I'll be gone on a family trip from Tuesday till Saturday. The only good news about this is having time to catch up on reading and finish editing a few stories.
Mitsuki- I loved your story! I'll be happy to compare notes anytime, though Vampire stories aren't my number 1 writing favorite....

2008-07-15 [Duke Devlin]: Shhhh Memz... D: I am slow~~~ *mumbles & mutters* Besides, I'm needing some inspiration. D: *runs away to hand out CVs, do other shite, come home & read some of your writing, and start her own* ^^ <3

2008-07-15 [Chimes]: Oh, if only you knew Stephy-darling. Well, you will soon. But ahem. *zips lips*

2008-07-15 [Duke Devlin]: :O If only I knew!? D: The nift-tastic story you sent me? <3<3<3 :)

2008-07-15 [Chimes]: Yes. That'll be it. ^^

2008-07-15 [Duke Devlin]: Cooool. :D Well spiffy of you, deary. <3

2008-07-15 [Mitsuki The Wolf Girl]: Totally ^^ I cant find many people who write about vampires, they are complicated creatures indeed! And thank you! I can't wait to read your story!!

2008-07-15 [Chimes]: I write about vampires :D Not for this contest though... for this contest I wrote of a memory. ^^

2008-07-15 [Mitsuki The Wolf Girl]: I havent had time to read anyone elses ^^ I will get around to it eventually though. lol.

2008-07-24 [shirono]: Unfortunately I haven't had the time to work on anything, I'm being crushed under a load of SAT prep work and the first test isn't even until October. Maybe I'll be able to participate in the next contest....

2008-07-25 [Trennas]: i want to write, i have an idea laid out already and all i have to do is sit and type it.. but my graduation is a priority so i cant really take up another new project until im done with that :S

2008-08-18 [Nausicaä.]: When will there be a winner announced?

2008-08-18 [SilverFire]: See the Main Street poll? That's for the fairy competition. After it has enough voters, the winners can be announced for that contest. Then we have to have a poll for the magic art contest and another poll for the magic photo contest. And then the winners for all three contests (art, photo, writing) are announced together.

2008-08-18 [Mitsuki The Wolf Girl]: Will ours be announced early, even though the veterans got an extension? OR will ours be announced in September like theirs?

2008-08-18 [SilverFire]: Nah, newbie and veterans will be handled separately. :)

2008-08-18 [Mitsuki The Wolf Girl]: Oh! Cool ^^

2008-08-19 [Nausicaä.]: okay i'm excited :)
