New Contest

[Mado]

Well, its that time again :) Time for a next contest...its been a while, and these are a lot easier to organize than tournaments. Plus, you have a chance at actually winning a real-life prize :)

Check out the Story Contest #2 (http://www.planetmado.com/index.php?pageid=storycontest2) page for more details.

[Dalun]

Easiest contest ever. I was done before it even began. ^_^

[SSArga]

It doesn't have to be dragonball z related

I may have a chance

Mines sounds pretty good to me....but not for me to judge. Didn't know what to write so I made The Story of Kenji Relimi.

Everyone who participates gets the two Sensus and 500 credits.

Is there a max length?

No, not really. But if you plan on making it extremely long, make sure its interesting, and not just long for the sake of being long.

Am I allowed to play?

Quiet.

[Trumpet]

I wasn't, just the last time I participated in a story contest was a school thing with a two page limit.

[craney]

cool i did not know that you get them for taking part ive already sent mine so are they already added or have i got to wait untill the end of the contest before they get added m8.

[noneused]

I was also done before it began, it was a "story" for school. more like an essay so I don't know if it counts..

[Kerunou]

It should count.

[Epyon]

Quiet.

:sad07:

[Teepo]

Can you turn in more then one story?.

[Kerunou]

I dont think so.

[Mado]

Can you turn in more then one story?.

Not for the contest, but you can always submit stories when there isn't a contest.

[Trumpet]

Would detail be considered a good thing or something that drags down the story?

[noneused]

Would detail be considered a good thing or something that drags down the story?

detail generally means clearer, more interesting stories.

[Trumpet]

detail generally means clearer, more interesting stories.

In some cases, though, a lot of detail is seen as a negative thing. Some readers prefer light detail, as I would assume of Twilight fans.

[Ryujin]

I would assume holding the reader's attention and entertains them would be the top priorities.

[smithi]

i have also entered.

[Kerunou]

Excellent everone! Good luck!

[geognisis]

for examples go to the stories page off the main page

[Epyon]

By little detail for Twilight fans I'm going to go ahead and assume you mean no detail. Or plot. Or characterization. Or any semblance of an original thought. Just wet dreams and stymieing Mormon laws and traditions.

[Kerunou]

Yes haha I would assume that you hate twilight as do I

[Enkidu]

Yeah, can't say Im a Twilight fan. I am, however, excited about this contest. It's the first one I've been able to participate in. I just missed the last story contest by a couple of days when I first joined.

[Kerunou]

Oh man that sucks but good luck with this contest bro!

[smithi]

twighlight=bollocks

[Kerunou]
