Well hey there, guys! No, we haven't disappeared off the face of the planet—with all the contests going on, we've simply decided to wait until the heat cools down a bit to ensure maximum entries. Also, Christmastime is a very busy time of the year for most people.
That being said, we've got a new contest and we're looking to get as many entrants as possible!
There's only one amendment to make to this:
Because EqD saw fit to spotlight this contest almost a week early, the competition start date is right now
This will not affect the end date, which will still be April 1st, 2014 at 23:59 GMT.
Good luck!
EDIT: To clarify: Mature: Gore means no excessive blood or guts. Rick Riordan or Christopher Paolini-esque adventure gore is fine. Hell, even Cirque Du Freak style is fine.
Mature: Sex means no explicit material. Lead-up and ambiguity is fine. For instance: Mass Effect vs a straight-up porno; there's a difference there.
Bold red letters? Getting fancy with the entires this time eh? I WOULD LIKE TO ENTER I hope caps becomes a thing, gotta be really sure you want to enter. And wow, that's quite a long time to write, longer then the previous competitions. Let's see what I can do.
I would like to enter Though to be honest I lack confidence, and this has hopefully cured me of writer's block. Here's to hoping I can get it done on time lol.
Eh... what's the worst that could happen? It's not like I've got 500 other things to be doing with my life that are arguably more important. Worst case scenario, I just don't finish. Or my computer somehow catches fire. I'm hoping for the former if things don't go as planned. Allons-y!
Not exactly a route I'm comfortable with, the whole falsely accused route, but...eh...why not. There's definitely more time to plan, write, and finalize something like than the previous contest. Besides, a good challenge might help get my creativity moving, and doing a story I'm not use to just might do the trick (or make excellent cannon-fodder to help others look good. ) Either way this is gonna be interesting.
Not 100% sure if I'll be able to do it, but I would like to enter.
2488632 really?! oh gosh, i wouldnt want the judges to have to sit through all that crap i write It wont be that long, but it definitely wont be short i can guarantee that
This is right up my alley, so... I POST MY ENTRY INTO THIS COMPETITION OF WRITING PROWESS. Hopefully, I won't be blasted with homework or anything else to distract me this time around.
You could upload the chapters one at a time throughout the contest or you could write the whole thing and then upload in all at once later on. It doesn't matter, so long as it's up and complete by April 1st.

There's a typo in the flier and I'm currently fixing it. It's supposed to say that you need to post your decsision to enter in the thread below.
You do not have to tell anyone your idea. Sorry about the confusion.
EDIT: Issue is now fixed.

Would 300,000 words be too much? Sorry just thought I'd ask
2487609
There's no maximum word count; if you think you can finish 300,000 words before April 1st, by all means, do it!
2487609
>not 1,000,000 words
I am disappoint.
2488632 really?!

2492141 You get a bonus point for quoting Jim Ross.
So another question, sorry
But should I start uploading the first chapters to my page and then when its finished just put the link to the whole story here?
Thanks
2504156
You could upload the chapters one at a time throughout the contest or you could write the whole thing and then upload in all at once later on. It doesn't matter, so long as it's up and complete by April 1st.
2504367 got it, you're a lifesaver
I think I have a somewhat solid idea, so I would like to enter.
K DONT KNOW HOW TO CHANGE COLOR BUT
im entering please............
I like to enter.
My the gods have mercy on the judges. They do not know the sins they them selves have commented, to be forced to read my writing.
I have so much on my plate, but I might try to enter anyway if I can find the time between all my other projects.
I would like to enter.... but could I use the story I started with a week ago? It's was so close to the new years! PLZZZZ
2512945
Roughly a week ago is fine, Norden. The contest started early anyway because EqD messed up and featured it long before the start date.
2513346 Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
How do I keep you updated with my story?
2513415
Make sure you post a link in this thread in bold red letters. Most judges usually don't read entries until after the closing date.
