I definately think the writing language should be Finnish. Im tired of all this wiriting in Indo European languages.:holiday: I support the poll.What does it matter if the winner is decided by public opinion,if the entries are anonymous. This way the best story will win and popularity of the writers doesnt have any effect on the poll,since the voters wont know who wrote which story.Quote:

I would certainly like to see a story with some of the more interesting vocabulary translated into Finnish, maybe you could get bonus points for that.
We could have a poll to decide who wants a poll and who wants a mixed judging system.
:logic:
I'm in favour of a poll.
Quite excited about this...haven't written about brutal nasty tortures and grisly executions for quite a while. :leer:
All right, how about we just keep it simple, single poll open to all but JMs with anonymous story entries.
As for prizes, does someone have a "direct line" to Dimeolas to ask about volunteering him again for the contest?
@Tamur - I like the 50/50 idea, but if no one else wants it then i'll go with the public one :bow:
i think anonymous is okay... is this still on? been off for a while...
I'm in anyway... since thay cancelled my talentsearch of tommorrow i'm looking for a new challenge...
The language should be both dutch and english... because these are the most supported languages :D
I bet there are going to be a dozen stories called... The Heretic... :P
Rats, I'll have to think of a new title now...Quote:

no titles - that'd identify who wrote it, and this is supposed to be anonymous :no:
Something's starting to come to mind, may be streching the theme abit but I'm sure I'll find a way to work it out. *Takes out paper and pencial and begains to write*
I might as well have a go. I doubt I'll be any good though.
Hmm. I think you should say, "I doubt anyone will be able to breathe properly after reading my stunningly well-done piece. But I do wish you all well during your time in hospital afterwards."Quote:

Meanwhile, anyone mind if the contest announcement gets posted Monday GMT afternoon? That'll give everyone a week's lead time before we start taking entries.
If that's ok, I'll get ahold of Ludens & Tosa about where/how to post these notices.
Happy weekend all.
The sooner, the better. Just make sure you give sufficient detail in the announcement. If you send it to me, I can post it on the front-page, while Ser Clegane and TosaInu can put up an announcement that will appears on top of every forum.Quote:

Sorry for the late post, I was struck down by an evil plague this weekend and have only just managed to crawl to the keyboard. :sick2:
Anyway, prizes remain the sticky part. I don't have any way to contact Dimeolas (he doesn't accept PMs) so someone with the ability to contact him will have to do that.
Either that, or we could just go with the badge as the single prize for the contest.
Over and out. *falls back into bed*
im in i can right preety well so sign me up!!:beam:
The only purpose of this contest is that I get the badge. Therefore every story better then mine wiull be disqualified! Anonym!
Ha! Just for that, I will sign up. Ha! Ha, Ha!Quote:

So, I'm not one to be patient, especially when sick. Is everyone all right with simply having the badge as the prize? I guess I'll wait another day but then simply go with the badge-as-prize unless there are strenuous objections coupled with an alternate prize.
Im Ok with the badge.:yes:
Ill give the one that wins private lessons...
*hehehehe :evil: nobody will join now*
I've got my story done (it doesn't involve my alter ego). Good luck to everyone!
The contests starts on March 19th. So if your story is already finished, you are disqualified.:rulez:Quote:

Of course I am still thinking about the story. :study:
Oops! I, of course, meant that I am "mostly" done.:laugh4:
Don't worry, any and all entries are fine whether they were finished a year ago or three weeks from now.
Contest was posted by Ludens very quickly, still working with others to get it announced more generally. Time for me to get writing!
hi
I want to right a story on the aztec petrayel is that allowed
This is open to any subject that deals with Heresy. I'm sure that some creativity could make the Aztec conflicts (I assume you mean "betrayal") appear heretical.
The key is to make sure you have a 100% solid understanding of what "heresy" means, and make sure it is the theme of your story. Everything else will fall into place.
The announcement made me find this area, of which I didn't knew until now. Nice contest I'd say, since the theme is nice perhaps I'll get some time to try my hand writing something who knows... nice place anyway
Just letting everyone know, we've already got entries coming in! I'll be posting them Soon (TM) Feel free to tell your friends, enemies, and favourite garden gnomes to get writing.
Deadline is a ways off at this point, 9 April, but early is better than too late.
Word has reached my ear of a new contest. I think I'll dust off my pen and maybe give it a try, who knows what could happen. Good luck to all entries.
