    Winter Writing Competition
    Judged by Nolafus, bobandbill, and Astinus

    I think we've gone too long without some sort of big writing challenge, so here's one now! Ready to impress the judges and PC alike with your amazing writing abilities? Great! But here are a few things to keep in mind:

    Each entry must be a short story. There isn't a size limit this time around, but please do refrain from creating incredibly long stories.
    These stories do NOT have to be pokemon related. However, please keep in mind that the judges may not be familiar with any other fandoms. Original fictions are also accepted.
    These stories have to be brand new. They must not have been written before, and not posted anywhere else until judging is over.
    Only one story per member.
    Please no chaptered fics.
    All stories are due by the end of December.
    All stories must relate back to the prompt in one way or another.
    Please PM your story to each of the judges for judging. The judges are Nolafus, bobandbill, and Astinus.
    Please post a comment here saying that you have submitted your story so the judges know if we're missing somebody.
    Don't publicly post your story until all judging is over. Once the competition ends and the results posted, you may (and encouraged to) post your story in the main forum with [WWC] added somewhere in the title.
    Have fun (obviously)!​
    If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

    Scoring:
    Each entry can have a maximum score of 30 per judge, with the points broken down into three categories equaling 10 points. Overall, the score will be out of 90. The categories are:

    Spelling and Grammar
    Characterization, Plot, and Description
    Relevance to Prompt

    The prompt this year will be, tradition. How ever you include this in your story is up to you, but it should be clear on how your story relates. It could be something your characters do every year, trying to break free of a tradition, or simply having a good time at Christmas.

    Prizes:
    Since this is probably the reason why all of you are here in the first place. Shiny, new emblems will be given out to the people that finish first, second, or third, as well as a participation emblem to everyone else as a way of saying thanks for giving us some of your time and effort.
