Rules:
Writing deadline is July 31. (Your post containing your entry can not be edited after the deadline.)
6000 word maximum, no minimum
No fanfic, but public domain characters are fine
Mind the site rules
The story must be original (not published or previously posted on the internet)
Judging:
There will be three judges: Kannap, Italios, and Respubliko de Libereco. The winner is the contestant with the highest average score.
In past contests, we have sometimes had issues with judges getting busy and not having time to judge, so if there are more people interested in judging, it doesn't hurt to have back ups.
Scoring:
The scoring is going to work a little differently than in past contests. After adjusting the rubric a few times, we couldn't come up with one that everyone was satisfied with, so we're trying a less structured approach to see if it works any better.
Each judge will assign a score on a scale of 1 to 100 and provide an explanation of their reasoning. Judges, please go into some detail discussing different elements of the story, explaining what worked and what didn't. You can use the following rubric as a guide.
- Code: Select all
[b]Characters:[/b]
[b]Plot:[/b]
[b]Setting:[/b]
[b]Creativity:[/b]
[b]Style and Mechanics[/b]:
[b]Score:[/b] /100
Feel free to post questions if you are confused about anything.
These contests are a recurring thing, so if you miss the deadline for this one, you can still finish your story and save it for a later contest.
