User blog:CaptainShadow11/2012 Story Contest!

Hello All!

My name is Shadow, and I will be hosting the first (I believe) short story contest!!

What is This?
The short story contest is like many other story contests, but this story must be made on the spot (as in, it cannot be a page). The story also cannot be incredibly long, should be no more than a page or so.

Rules

 * Cannot be longer than about a page on a program like notepad or microsoft word.
 * Cannot be a page, you need to make it up on the spot.
 * Cannot be stolen from anyone's ideas (must be your own).
 * No sore sports!
 * Wiki rules apply (no foul language except hell and such, respect all, etc.)

How do I Submit My Story?
If you want your short story to be in the contest, you will have to post it in the comments below.

How Will These Be Judged?
These will either be judged by me (and possibly some other judges) or the community, the choice is still unclear at this time. Once a specific method is chosen, it will be posted here.

They will be judged on:
 * Creativity - Were you creative? Did you copy a certain story line? Were these ALL your ideas?
 * Style of Writing - Does it look like a little boy wrote it? Does the word choice vary?
 * Story Itself - Was it interesting? Was it enjoyable to read? Did it keep the reader hooked?
 * Endin - How did you some up a story, when it can't be that long? How you did this will determine how many points you get for this section.

What if I Win?
If you do win, you will get a combination of prizes:

First Place: Second Place: Third Place:
 * Userbox
 * Page Banner
 * Special Signature
 * Userbox
 * Special Signature
 * Userbox

Conclusion
So, if you think you have what it takes to win the very first Short Story contest, submit your sotry! All stories will be read and taken into consideration.

Have fun, be creative, and be the best writer you can be!
