Hi, so this is something that I brought up in the mod convo a few weeks ago that I never got around to sorting out. Basically what this would be would be we set a theme or synopsis and a word limit and get people to write a short story to match. However, there are a few logistical things that'd need sorting out before I can get it up and running, so this is to just ask a few questions:
- No-one other than myself volunteered to act as a judge or suggested people to approach to about it when I asked in the Cong mod convo; would anyone be interested in helping me with the judging side of this? This'd be a voluntary thing obviously but it'd definitely be something that would be taken into consideration if/when we decide to nominate people for social forums ladybug/CC in the future.
- Would anyone actually be interested in taking part in something like this? I know a lot of people on the site do writing in some capacity just based on "writers on smogon" and the poetry thread, but even if there were a monetary incentive (e.g. if the winner got like a $20 or $30 Amazon voucher or something; probably not more tho because I'm poor :s) would anyone actually submit anything? I don't want this to go down in flames like the Christmas Congtest did.
- How long should I leave the submission period open for if this does end up happening, and how many rounds should I do?
- Does anyone have any other questions about how this'd work or any suggestions for themes/synopses/word limits/whatever else?
The following people have expressed interest in helping with judging:
- p squared
- blizzardy
- seraph's fire
- Gato
- HeaLnDeaL
- Magikingdra
