Sent in. Don't expect to win. Or even come close. But writing that? I need to, and this gave me the drive.

Or it apparently didn't send. :L Lost my finished copy too. So much work down he drain.
Don't worry, we got it. :) bobandbill should edit the first post with the entrants so far soon.

Hmm... I was going to enter this, but when I saw that there was a prompt, I thought, "Dammit, school on a Pokémon website! D:<"

I was kind of hoping to write my own thing to enter in this, but I guess I can't, because it doesn't fit the prompt. :\ Oh well, maybe next time...

Good luck to all the other contestants, though! :)

If you wait a few months, Fanfiction and Writing will be doing it's own Small Free-Writing-A-Thon, with a possible new emblem. And since it's free-writing, there is no prompt.

We just went with a prompt for this contest in the hopes to bring more people in who wouldn't normally write a story and post it. And, well, to have three judging criteria instead of just two.

hmm...lets suppose i want to participate, and that I already have a good story in my mind, but i still cant figure out what cast aside means? Is it ok to just send it and if it doesnt fit the prompt then I just get disqualified? Or please somebody explain a little more what does it mean.

You wouldn't be disqualified, but you won't get any points in that section of scoring and seeing that's a third of the score that's rather significant. Note that there's no set meaning for 'cast aside' because it's up to you the writer on what it means and how to use it in the entry. E.g it could mean someone being 'cast aside' by friends or so forth - there's multiple ways to go about it really so we're not looking for one exact depiction of it.

My entree was sent. I had fun writing this and like to see more of these in the future
It has been received.

bobandbill and I already answered that when someone else asked that question:

I just had a question about the prompt. I don't understand what cast aside means?
Is it....
A) Getting casted away somewhere?
B) Settingaside cast members?
Or C) Something completely different?

Please help, as I am very interested in participating.
You can go with a couple different takes with this prompt, and A is one of them. Another is being left out, which the definition most people use when they say cast aside.
All of the above! There's no one set definition for what the prompt really means exactly, so it's up to you to decide how you want to use it in your story.
So yeah, read the thread before posting your question. :P As for the disqualification part, you won't get disqualified, but get a very low score on the prompt category.

EDIT: Oh my gosh bobandbill, quit posting the same time I was! XD;

One question...is it okay if the fic is inspired by someone else's fic?

EDIT: Screw it. I sent it already. *ahem* Well, anyways, yeah.

Open up...your senses. The World Ends With You.

Neku, Shiki, Joshua, Beat, Rhyme.

I don't calculate stat values, I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature.

That's fine as long as the fic you wrote is your own and you didn't outright plagiarize the story (copy/paste the lines). Got your entry, anyhow.

Sent mine in. Personally, I doubt it's gonna win. But I had fun writing it, so that's all that really matters, right?

Good luck, everyone else.

So with the GT extension and with apparent interest on chatroom channels for this to be extended, have a (tentative!) date of Wednesday July 20th EST, 11:59 PM. Subjest to change anytime and not in terms of it being longer than that either so I'd still suggest not leaving it for the last possible minute or whatnot.

...Damn it. And I rushed the last of my entry because I had the feeling I wouldn't feel like writing today (albeit, I was right: I tried and can barely bring myself to write more than ten words :p). Oh well.

How tentative is tentative exactly? Because I thought I was going to have to rush it tonight, so if it's really on Wednesday (or Thursday morning where I'm from), I won't rush it.

Oh, fantastic. I had pretty much given up on having enough time to finish a one-shot by the end of the Get-Together, but this way I'll actually have time! :)
