Judged by Bay, bobandbill, and gimmepie.
Welcome everyone to the Small Writing Competition! The gist is simple - write a story based on the prompt, and submit it to the judges before the deadline.
Rules
1.) Follow
PC's rules and
Fanfiction and Writing's rules.
2.) Stories written for this competition must be completely new. In other words, they must not have been written before. You also are not allowed to post it anywhere else until judging is over. Having someone beta read your entry prior to submission in private is allowed.
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
Bay,
bobandbill, and
gimmepie. 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
11:59pm EDT, 15th July to get your entry in.
6.) The story can be based on Pokemon, another fandom, 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! There is no word limit.
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 and Prompt
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
Each participant will receive a minimum of 50 points for their team when their entry is sent in. 3rd place gets 100 points (including those participation points), 2nd gets 200, and 1st place 300 points.
This year, you can choose one of the prompts! You can choose either Contentment or Frustration.
