Well, I hope this will help others recognize new writers as well as more experienced writers as well. Maybe I might have a challenge for new writers only . . . so that everyone could be on a level field. Maybe . . . but for now, it'll be up to you writers to read and absorb the ways that others weave a story in a matter of a week or so (Yeah, you'll probably have a week to write a piece for each challenge . . . I just thought that idea up! HAHAH.).

Besides, sometimes the best writers could be the ones that you might not expect! ^__~

Hey, I got a question about this. Are we talking entire fanfics here, or are we just talking about chapter-long challenges? I doubt I'd write a whole entire fic based on a little challenge.

No.

There is such a thing as "short stories", you know. I don't think you (or anyone else here) could write a well-written story of many pages in a week, and I don't expect anyone to.

I'm planning that the challenges will allow people at least one week (maybe two, depending on the theme subject), so it should give writers enough time to write a short piece (usually about a thousand words or less, unless the challenge specifies an actual number of words that can be used).

However, if you wish, you could use your entry (after voting results are released, of course) to start a longer story. Only if you want to, mind you. (You might want to mention that the story was started as a contest entry too, if you feel to)

And i am pretty sure people will do it. Why do you buy f.e. Adidas trainers? Not because trainers, because it is ADIDAS.
Well... so therefore I think stories in this ncontest should be judged by jury with no particular favourites. For People will always pick the name they know. And this is terribly unfair. And loads of people wouldn;t bother to read story... they will just see: Ah, this is written f.e. by blah blah, I like her/him and know her/him, so I will pick this one...


Claymore: Well, you might not have to worry so much now. I thought of an idea: people send me their entries via PM or email and I (or whoever gets to be in charge of entries) will post them without mentioning the author's names. That way, everyone has an equal chance to win without anyone choosing favorites. I trust that the writers who enter each contest will not vote for their own or reveal which is theirs - they shall be disqualified for it!

Hopefully, things will work out once I begin the test run of the contest in a few weeks.
