Wikia Writing Contest!
Hello there you rusty daggers! Jk, Ahoy there, you awesome Wiki people! And... other assorted creatures, aliens, wookies, - Man reminds me that I'm going off subject - yes! Ahem!
GenLawrence and I welcome you to....................................... the Summer 2012 Story Contest! This Contest will be like no other so far, so gather yer wits, sharpen your grammer, ready your spell checkers, and load your creativeness, for this is a contest you won't want to miss!
How it works[]
Ok, so! This will work in a unique way. Below in the blog, will be about 15 images of random POTCO characters that we have taken screenshots of. Some of these images are old, as I have planned this for quite a while. You, the writer, have until July 5th July 15th to write a story using at least 10 of these characters. Law and I shall grade these stories on several categories: Introduction, plot, events that took place, ending, how well you incorporated the images into characters, describing your characters, grammar, and spelling ( Please note these may change over the next week ).
Rules[]
- You may add a few characters, but try not to include in-game players, especially your own pirate/character.
- You may feature as many locations as you want.
- You cannot copy content from any site, book, film, or other POTCO Fan fiction work.
- You may use the base plot of POTCO ( Jolly Roger, EITC, Raven's Cove, etc ), but try to make a story that mainly envolves your own characters.
- You may do whatever you want with the characters. Any may have any motives, agendas, or aliegence that you wish.
- You may have a plot of love, action, adventure, suspense, or anything in between. Just make it appropriate for this Wiki and try to avoid extreme horror and any cussing.
- Write your story on a Wikia page, and add the category "Story Contest Pages".
- When you are finished writing your story, and have made your page, comment on this blog. with a link to your page.
- Remember, we will not be providing names of the characters in the images, so please include a section on your page that lists which names/characters match the image.
- It doesn't have to be perfect, so don't worry about coding or images, just write your book and submit it here.
- Take your time. You have 2 weeks, and as long as you submit your pages in the comments before then, you are good.
- Please do not comment saying "I think it's bias that just you two decide which stories are best, the whole community should vote on it!". That would be extremely complicated. This is how our system works. If you don't like it, don't comment.
