Vicky Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I'm feeling a little deserted whirlwind running through this section lately. So, awhile ago, we had the OB Prose competition by Allamorphamojo. It was an excellent little competition... which I didn't win (and forever cry at night from this painful experience) :p. But I thought maybe to liven things up, another competition could be run. Now, I'm normally real busy like, so I could probably do with some help :). Firstly, anyone interested in participating, post here. There'll be no standard acceptance criteria, just say "I'm in" or whatever. We'll probably play it in rounds as usual. Secondly, I need a few unbiased peoples to help me think up some round themes, exercises .etc. Realistically, you won't be able to participate in the competition as a writer. But perhaps if we have a tie in certain rounds we could have these few unbiased people delivering the final judgment. I'm not too sure about this, though. Anyone interested in helping design themes, ideas, rounds .etc then send me a private message. Thirdly, anyone can comment with any ideas here. I won't be taking part this time, waaaaaaah. But I'll be trying to direct things when I'm around and about. Also, if you're not a writer, then you can take part anyway and give it a shot. I'd rather have the focus of good writing on ideas and delivery, so you never know what you might come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spectacular Professor Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 [font="Comic Sans MS"]I'm up to help judge. Apparently James thinks I know something about writing or something, so I might as well live up to that.[/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linkukun Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Eh, Mr. Professor talked me into it. I guess I'm in. Don't be expecting anything spectacular from me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, so let's get a little list: [B]Competitors[/B] Effing Anomaly Stephenie (yeah you're participating lovey heh) Linkukun Boo Ducky [B]Judges/Helper-Outers[/b] Pioneer The Professor Hopefully I haven't missed anyone. I'm hoping to see a few more writers and maybe one more person on the panel to help with the running of the show, so spread the word. Someone get Allamorph here, too. He can provide the lemonade. If Pioneer and Professor are definitely up for helping with the themes and rounds, I'll be sending a message shortly to start getting that aspect rounded out. I'd rather wait until we have a few more writers, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I'm interested in participating but I'm not sure if I can commit with more than 80% enthusiasm. Sometimes writing is the hardest thing ever for me. But I do want to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spectacular Professor Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) [font="Comic Sans MS"]Ponies will not be a writing category. In fact, there probably won't be any ponies. However, participation in this competition would certainly please any theoretical ponies were they indeed involved.[/font] Edited March 20, 2011 by The Professor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
