Small Writing Competition
Small Writing Competition 2014 GT Judged by bobandbill, Nolafus, and Bay Alexison Welcome everyone to the Small Writing Competition! Ready to write a story based on this year's prompt that will impress the three judges and the rest of PC? Great! But first, a few rules to keep in mind. Rules 1.) Follow PC's rules and Fanfiction and Writing's rules. 2.) The stories written for this competition must be completely new. In other words, they must not have been written before and not posted anywhere else until judging is over. 3.) You must PM your entries to all of the judges. (This is so if someone loses their PMs the others still have them and so forth). The judges in question are bobandbill, Nolafus, and Bay Alexison. You also must post in this thread when you send your PMs so we can confirm you did send us an entry. 4.) One entry per member only, sorry. 5.) You have until 11:59 pm EST, July 11th to get your entry in. 6.) The story can be based on Pokemon or be original fiction. Note the judges may not all be familiar with any other fandoms. 7.) The entry can only be a completed one-shot as this is a small writing competition - no chaptered entries, please! 8.) Please don't publicly post your stories until the competition is over! Once the scores are posted and the competition is over, you may post your story in Fanfiction and Writing so that others may see it. Make sure to add [SWC] to your title if you do! If you have any other questions, ask away! Scoring Each entry can have a maximum score of 30, with the points broken down into three categories equaling 10 points in total like in previous years. The categories are: Spelling and Grammar Characterization, Plot, and Description Relevance to Prompt The prompt is rivals/rivalry, so good luck with making use of that in your story!

I think this is the first time I saw the prompt and came up with an idea in literally seconds. o_o
So yeah, I'm totally doing this! I've seen lots of new writers around the FF&W forum, so I'm hoping to see lots of entries this year! Happy writing, folks! |
Considering I blog a lot, I might as well take a shot at this. It's been awhile since I've created my own, unique story, but it sounds like a blast! Count me in! Hopefully this gets a pretty good turn out.
|
Hmm... I actually wanted since 2 months start to write on a fan fiction, that I could post then on here but this might as well my first one, giving it my best shot, let's see how good that one is.
|
I will participate in this event. Writing is fun :3
|
Is there a minimum amount of characters we can use?

Given I was already asked via VM, a tentative maximum guideline of 10-15 pages is set, but you can go over that. We just will have more to read and hence judging will take longer. =p |
I might as well join. The thing I've wanted to write a fanfiction about for ages (but could never be bothered) links in with this topic. Well, partly. Would the evil teams count as rivals?
|
Depends on how you use them! They certainly could, but it does depend on what the story is about and what happens in it. That may be an unhelpful answer, but then I can't be helping you when I'm also judging entries. =p
|
I'm in! I'll get started ASAP!
Assignments can wait right? |

For people worried about writing a complete story in the time available, my advice is to think carefully about the scope of your story. Unless you're Cutlerine and can write a novella in one day and a novel in two, I'd suggest taking a small idea and fleshing it out instead of taking a big idea and abbreviating it. |
Don't forgot about me! I'm totally taking this challenge! New adventures everyday...
|
Aisu is in. So everyone, back up, because the winner is before your eyes. Cool as ice.
|
I find the 10-15 limit a bit disconcerting for such a small time period.
With my time constraints and tendency to develop writers block it will be a real struggle for me to write that much given I have to stick to a theme. :/ |

I might join in. Still not sure. This week I have a work travel, some meeternity stuff, and am hosting a stand on an event.
Though I could use meeternity and stand time to write for the story. After all, clients who paid to install Windows instead of doing what I told them to do deserve to wait, right? |
I would just like to wish everyone good luck and I hope to see a lot of stories come judging time! I'm looking forward to reading what you people have come up with.

I'm not sure if I'm going to do this or not (dependent on time) but I'm gonna see if I can come up with something.

I might enter, but not to win. Only since the prompt is a perfect way for me to make one of my trademark angry tirades - in story form!
|
I've sent in my entry. It might not be amazing seeing as I did write it at 23:00 at night, but it's the taking part that counts, right?
|
I've submitted as well.
|
I just submitted my work. Highly doubt I'll win, but I'm doing this for passion. May the best writer win!
|
^ Confirming that I got entries from the three of you. =) I will update the first post to reflect that when I have time!
|
Just submitted my angry rant story!
