That_One_Guy Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) Alright! Fuck it! Let's go for it! Welcome to the second volume of the one and only UEMB writing competition! It's been like two years since we've done one of these, and seeing as how a lot of the drama has died down, I figured what better time to bring back the writing competition. FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS: I will need four judges. I myself will simply host/encourage/announce the results. If you would like to judge the writing of your peers, pm me! Please don't ask to judge if you have an overly busy life. The last thing I want is add to anyone's daily stress. Only do it if you will enjoy it. K, betch? SECONDLY: This years deadline will be much shorter. As in January 24th. This will give participants time but not too much time. Last year everyone was done in like two days and by the time I announced the results some people and forgotten about it. SO YE HAVE ONLY TWO WEEEEEKS! THIRDLY: This year there will be a prompt, an element you must include in your story, and a line of dialogue you must also include. You will be judged on how seamlessly you implement said variables. THE RULES: As I believe in complete freedom of speech and expression, there aren't many rules. But the one's I have are as follows: 1. Do not put your real name or username anywhere in your story. I will be the only person that knows who submitted the stories. This keeps the judging free of bias 2. There is a 2,000 word limit. Your story can be as short as you want but it cannot exceed this limit. Doing so is an automatic DQ. Obviously you can go a smidge over. Just don't be an asshole 3. All three variables MUST be included in your story. Not including them is an automatic DQ. 5. One entry per person 6. Enjoy whatever you create and have fun. Your story can be written in any genre or style so long as it complies with the guidelines set. Yes, this is a corny rule. If you have a problem with that I'll drink your blood. That's really it for the rules. Now let's move on to what you must include in your story: PROMPT: A drug deal gone wrong Element: A threesome (this doesn't necessarily have to be sexual in nature) Line: "Wow, did you really just do that?" AND THAT'S IT! We have a writing competition now! Once you've finished, email your stories to [email protected]. Make sure you tell me your username in the email. I will then pass it on to the judges. It should be noted that there is no prize at this moment as we never really figured that part out. If any of you have any suggestions, I'm open. Speaking of winners, big shout out to the winner of the first UEMB Writing Competition: @Kweerie! NOW GO CREATE! And remember, I still need judges lol Edited January 27, 2020 by That_One_Guy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilosipherStoned Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Wasn't... Damn I forgot the name, I'm bad with names. Oh @Kweerie.... I guess she isn't around to host it though? I should probably be able to judge if needed. Also 2000 words isn't steep so I'll make a submission if I'm not needed as a judge this time. Either way it'll be fun!

PhilosipherStoned Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I mean I remember last time it seemed like we didn't get that many involved. It turned out great still that's why I said I'll judge if needed. Depends on how many others want to judge... It's been a while since I wrote a short story so I'm still trying to decide. I've wrote plenty though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwimModSponges Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I'd say the whole "writing an analysis of my own story longer than the story itself because nobody appreciated it" thing was in bad form. But I've already started my entry and oh god it's happening again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapinator_X Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I’m going to submit an entry once again. Not to much of a fan of the prompt, but I’m partway done with a story that doesn’t involve The Fast & The Furious fanfiction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokeNirvash Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 The only disappointing thing about the rules this year is that the word limit is still 2,000. Oh well, I can cook something up involving the prompt and elements given. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
