Snitch Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 [align=center]~Current~ Round TwoWe've done prose, time for poetry. Write a poem about Spring - it's nearly here remember! If you're not a poetry writer, give it a go! Maybe you'll learn a thing or two.End Date: 25/3/09 Introduction - What is 'Calling All Writers!'? Well, upon my return, and crawling through this section randomly, I was rather appalled at the lack of extremely good and even interesting writing. No, I'm not here to flame you. No, I'm not here to tell you your fan-fic or story sucks. No. I'm here to invite you to my competition. Calling All Writers! is pushing everyone who joins to the top of their game. There will be no, "Jack went to the store and bought some candy." Instead, there will be, "Jack stabbed the iron blade into the Salamander's chest once, then twice, then again, laughing like a maniac in the dusk of the night." And that's what there will be. Is it your time to shine? Maybe, maybe not. But the least you can do is try. Calling All Writers! will most probably not just be a single competition. If it turns out well, I'll run it again, then again, and again, and so forth. This will most likely be the toughest writing competition filled with the toughest writers, so. And, if you thought I was planning to say, "If you don't think you're good enough, step out now," you'd be wrong. I'm saying, "If you don't think you're good enough? Join. Show me your best." So, I invite the best to the worst to this competition, as it's more than winning. It's about achieving, and showing everyone what a writer you are. Can you step up to the challenge? We'll see, my friend, we'll see. I'm amazed you read all that if you did. Most people just read the first paragraph and go, "Ooh, competition! FUN FUN NEW POST PLZ." You know who you are. And, because I caught you, you can go read it all as your punishment. >_> How To Join Simple. Post saying you want to join. Easy enough? What Will Happen? Each round will differ, from prose to poetry to almost any kind of literature. Maybe I'll give you an excerpt from something and you have to write something based off it. Maybe I'll tell you to write a Traditional piece in a genre. Maybe I'll tell you to include five words of my choosing in a poem. We'll see, friends, we'll see. So, Are You Ready? I hope all writers will join this competition. I want to see if I can make a change around here, and up everyone's writing to a standard that's so high it makes all other forums look bad. Let's see, eh? x3 Slaveboard ScoreboardSnitch : 5¦Kylarnatias Soul¦ Soul Legacy : 5Fenrir's Herald : 5Ignis Veritas : 5「Flash.Bang」 : 5BludMonkey : 5Deity Marvel : 5.:Midnight Thief:. : 5Rinne : 5RingoEx19 : 6BrokenHeart15 : 5Supreme Gamesmaster : 5Shiko11 : 5Wyhe : 3 The Points SystemA new idea from me, with thanks to Deity for a bit of help. The Points System will be unique to CaW! - instead of earning sitewide points, you earn a 'point' for winning a round. I might up this in the future, and perhaps give second and third points as well or something. Anyway, you can use these points to achieve or buy certain things, such as your name on the scoreboard in a different colour, or a character in someone's story, or maybe something written about you. We're limited on stock at the moment, but, we'll get more of stuff another time. The Point Shop5 points - Name colour changed.

Snitch Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 You do realize points are useless now? 'Cept for bragging rights. You misunderstand. I mean, as though, say you win a round, you get 3 Points in this thread. Then you get prizes, like, for example, a character in mine or someone's story when you get 20 points, or maybe I'll have a shop, or, I dunno. x3 Flash.Bang, added you.

Haha. ^-^ What is a Traditional Piece? Means it's not based off anything - like' date=' say you wrote about Pokemon. That [i']wouldn't[/i] be a Traditional Piece. It has to be something completely new. It can have inspiration from things, but it can't be the thing itself, if you get me. Who likes my point/shop idea?

For the record guys, this isn't just a one off. Once this round is over, everyone who joined is still in it, and there will be a next round, and like that. This'll last forever (or as long as I can make it. =P), so get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
