Ladies and gentlemen, let me welcome you guys to the wonderful world of Fiction...

*opens the symbolic door*+

Here's the village you guys will be staying in during the duration of this tournament,

Writers Village+

Each of you guys will have your own cabin, where you will spend the majority of the time writing for me and our special guest who was kind enough to be a judge...

Spoiler+

But it's about time to meet the contestants:

Meet the Writers+

So let me explain how this is going to work, every round a new genre will be posted, I'll write down stuff that you'll have to focus on within your story, but it won't be much. So it's really just all up to your imagination. The genres that I am planning on using, are:

Genres+

The genre will be hand-picked by me and Bryce during the first round, but every other round it will be decided by our great friend (who has screwed everyone over atleast once): random.org.

Since this is practically an 'open-world' type tournament, there isn't much rules to be said, but stuff I feel like should be noted, are:

RULES:

~Me and Bryce will most likely use Skype to discuss who we truly find worthy and not-worthy. No decision will be rash.
~Everyone will have 48 hours to write their story after the genre is posted.
~'Confessional' boards will be given to everyone, in their you can write down notes, opinions of other stories and your finished product.
~DO NOT be inactive, it WILL ruin the fun for everyone else!!

So since there are 13 players, this first round will include 13 writers, 13 stories, only 12 will make it onto the next round. And so on. PLUS, the best story of each round will have an advantage for the next round. What that advantage will be, will be revealed through your own board.

I will write down what the first genre will be later today, the boards will also be up later today. \

Have fun everyone! I hope you guys are excited, cause I sure am!
Oh yeah...

Welcome to the World of Fiction.

I'll have it as a reminder at the bottom of the post during each new round. And plus, it will differ throughout various stages, since the genres are varied. But I'll make sure all the changes are known. But considering it'll be different sometimes I didn't see much need to post it quite yet.

ROUND 1~ FANTASY

FANTASY+


So, the reason why it's going to be so big is because it's FANTASY. Create your own world, your own social order, your own characters, hell, even your own creatures. This is truly the round to go all out, their isn't really a better way to open up the game than this way. It can be adult/political fantasy like ASOIAF, or adventure fantasy like LotR and WoT, it's all up to you guys. It's your world.

The stuff the judges will be focusing on are:
~Creativity (1/10)
~Grammar (1/10)
~Scope (1/10)
~Consistency (1/10)
~Presentation (1/10)\

So, you guys will have 72 hours to submit a story. The winner of this round will gain an advantage for the next round. The loser of this round WILL be eliminated. And also, this round will decide who the inactives are, they will be rooted out as well. But from the submitted stories... one will go home either way. So make it a good one, and make sure to impress me and Bryce! Have fun guys!!

That is completely up to you, as long as it's finished before the deadline.

Are you guys expecting full stories with a start and a finish or just kind of a scene that shows off this fantasy world.

Full stories.


when kc did story writing for his raffle last year we did a chapter per week, I think writing an entire story with a beginning, middle, and end in 72 hours is pretty impossible imo. Especially since people have work and school and whatnot.

I'll probably write a chapter , if you don't like just eliminate me I guess

I kind of agree with Chris. It can't be very good if it needs to be a full story. Plus, talk about time consuming!

I'm going Short Story route over a chapter or a saga I think (:

Short Stories seem pretty well suited for this kinda thing

Yeah, It's completely up to you guys. It doesn't have to be a full one, but it would most likely give you more points is what I was trying to say.
