That_One_Guy Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Sup everyone? It's come to my attention that there has yet to be a writing competition in this magnificent forum. It's about time we remedied that! So right here and right now I'm starting the first ever UEMB Writing competition! One of the things I loved about the old boards was the art and literature competitions. I feel like not only did it inspire creativity but it also brought us together as a community. It sort of gave us more of a reason to talk to each other. Let's be honest...we're kinda weird. Having said all that here is the meat and potatoes of the competition. 1. Freestyle short story (2,500 word limit). 2. Send all submissions to [email protected] 3. 1 entry per person 4. Deadline will be January 10th 5. Do not put your real name or board name anywhere on your work. Doing so will disqualify you. I'm in the process of looking for judges. If you are interested please PM me. I want potential judges to be anonymous. Also I'll find a place to post all of the pieces afterwards. With all that said, let's write! Best of luck to all of you!

That_One_Guy Posted December 21, 2017 Author Posted December 21, 2017 Also! When you email your piece be sure to tell me who you are! Only I will know. Quote
Gyaos Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Not sure if I'll participate, but what format should we send stuff in? Body of text in the email itself? .doc, .docx, .txt? Quote
JeNewBee Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Rocks as locks to block the thoughts That have dropped from dreadful flock That mocks the righteous talks of a meager plot of a hopeless lot Quote

SwimModSponges Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 2500 words for this competition, eh? Thats about the size of 2 of the chapters im used to writing, maybe a bit less or more dependant on the amount of diologue. Imma have to keep this high and tight. Its an exciting challenge. Quote
SwimModSponges Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Outlined it. I've got a good feeling you guys. Quote

GunStarHero Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 If I have the time I'll give it a go. Quote
SwimModSponges Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Done. Goddamn, you guys. Just... goddamn. Quote
Raptorpat Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Do you have a prize in mind? I can offer a custom rank. I was debating between a one-off custom rank or a rotating "champion" rank that the winner holds until someone else wins the next competition. 1 Quote
SwimModSponges Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 I've already got a custom rank, how about cash? Quote
SwimModSponges Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Also does it have to be email or can i just pm the text to you? Because otherwise id have to make a one-time use burner email account in oder to retain my anonymity, and that would be a pain. Quote

Nah you email me the story and tell me who you are then I give it to the judges. This way only I will know. Quote
That_One_Guy Posted December 22, 2017 Author Posted December 22, 2017 Update! The first place winner gets a custom rank of their choice! Also the judges and I are currently coming up with subcategories Quote

SwimModSponges Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 @fuggnificent did you ever get a chance to submit a story before you got banned? @Gogo Yubari did you ever end up making @fuggnificent a new account? If you didn't would you be willing to do it so she could enter the competition, if she hasn't already? It'd just be a shame to lose a competitor and I'm genuinely excited to see what she would have come up with. Quote

PhilosipherStoned Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 I think fuggs may have got her submission in before the ban. not sure. Quote
SwimModSponges Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 No, but to the best of my knowledge she does not know how to create an account. Quote
PhilosipherStoned Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 im sure she could figure it out.. well. Idk to be honest but others are doing it that havent used this service before. i can't fathom someone not being able to make a new account when TIC has 50. Quote

Is fuggs actually a she? I was so super positive he was a dude. Girls don't troll as much as men. For the most part apparently.. Quote

Blatch Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Hey... just so we're clear on this, will the deadline to submit pass when the 10th is fully over with? As in, at midnight (E/P)ST? That is usually the case, but I just want to make sure. Quote

SwimModSponges Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 It wasnt very impressive. Literally a front-butt. Quote

Trolling is like Nascar and Superhero Execs. It's dominated by misogynists and sadistic men. Edited January 9, 2018 by Spindack Quote
SwimModSponges Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Ooooh boy, it's ending soon, and we'll get to read all the stories! Goddamn I'm an excited ass mofo up in here tonight. What what. 1 Quote

That_One_Guy Posted January 19, 2018 Author Posted January 19, 2018 Just so everyone is aware, the results are officially in. I'm having dinner at my mom's (which I only get to do once a week). But as soon as I get home I'm posting the results/discussion thread. Thank you all for your patience and participation 1 1 Quote
