Science Fiction Writing Competition


<img:stuff/moorndivider8.jpg>


Do you like anything sci-fi? Do you like giant mech robots destroying some star ship in space? Do you enjoy writing about this sort of thing? Well then this is a contest for you!!

I haven't seen all that many sci-fi related contests here on WC so I decided to create one! The simple theme is well... anything science fiction. From giant robots, to mutant creatures in someone's sink, you name it! The theme is open to anyone and anything, of course following a few rules.
~[Paz]- Your contesty host :)

Rules:


1. As with every contest the work must be completely done by you. If it is a colaboration effort with one or more other people or members you must state so next to the wiki link. Anything plagiarised will be removed and you will be disqualified.

2. There is no set length but please do not make this story really, really long. As of right now I am the only moderator and I really don't want to read a bunch of novels Oo. However, it must be at least 2,000 words long, anything storter will be removed. I also request that you place the number of words next to your entry if you think that it might be rather short (just so I don't jump to any conclusions).
Current Moderators:
[Paz]
[RiddleRose]
(contact me if you wish to be a moderator)

3. It must follow the theme!! The theme is very, very open at the moment and anything science fiction-y is allowed. Please, do not post a story about a cute little elf in a merry wood with a nice life. That, I am sorry to say, is not Sci-Fi. So please stick with the theme. You can dip into horror though, just try to keep the action :)

4. You can make it as gorey and bloody as you like because I quite frankly do not mind, just please put a warning next to the writing (so younger members know to watch out). 

5. No fanfictions! Fanfiction is against the rules here on WC and all of the rules will be followed on this contest. The same goes with any characters from a given story that is thrown in there. For example, you put Luke Skywalker in your story but make him something other than a Jedi. You are still using Luke Skywalker and that is not allowed. For more information on fanfictions see: What is fanfiction?

6. All WC rules apply here, so please do not post anything against the WritersCo rules because I will report you. So keep your stories original and to the rules :P

7. As always, have fun with this!!! This contest is run by the Contest Team and we're here to make contests for member like you to enjoy!! So have fun ;P

2006-04-28 [Paz]: Yay! The first entry XD I'll read it over this weekend

2006-04-28 [Ravendust]: ^_^;; chapter 2 is being difficult... I'm trying to think of where to start... perhaps where I left off... or several days later... (there's a bit of irony in the end XDD)

2006-04-29 [Paz]: I've downloaded it to my computer :P So soon it shall be read// I always find it coolish to start a little while later a say, recall past events that happened during the un-accounted while ^^' Or just start off from a few days later and continue on from there letting the reader descide

2006-04-29 [Ravendust]: I actually did start from a few days later... Got inspired last night and wrote... a whole two lines ^_^;;

2006-04-29 [Ravendust]: Oh! Sudden inspiration and chapter two is on page two XDD and I'm still writing... will wonders never cease?

2006-05-02 [Ravendust]: ^o^ I wrote a poem for the story... O.o I've never done that before... I may put it up if anybody cares to read it... *cough* the poem is actually going to go into the story as a short song...

2006-05-21 [Ravendust]: Chapter 2 is done, and it is with chapter 1... the poem is in chapter 2...

2006-05-23 [Marten]: Alright, well, I am working on an entry as well. 20,000 words is a lot, but I hope I don't run out of words to finish the story!

2006-05-23 [Ravendust]: mine just keeps getting more complex... I'm working on a sort of 'prologuish thing... telling about how Searienne's race came to be...

2006-05-23 [Paz]: Yay! I can't wait to read all of these after my exams! :D They'll help relieve my stress

2006-06-09 [Athilea]: How long is this contest open for?

2006-06-10 [RiddleRose]: i think until we have enough entries to judge... but ask paz

2006-06-12 [Paz]: It will be open until we get a fair amount of finished entries to generate a deadline ;) So as of yet the deadline is awhile, but hurry because seeing as there can only be one winner the deadline might be set anyways, fairly soon

2006-06-13 [Athilea]: I'll see about getting something written.

2006-07-09 [Tablet]: I'm confused, does it have to be at least 20,000 words long?

2006-07-14 [Paz]: Yes :) It shouldn't be too hard

2006-07-16 [blak_Roses]: what does 20,000 words look like such as how many paragraphs??

2006-07-16 [Ravendust]: it's probably around 60 pages or so... that's how I figure it anyway- I've got a fanfiction going that's about 20,000 words- 12 chapters, about 6 pages each, and with around 2,000 words each... I could be a little off, but that's my estimate.

2006-07-17 [Paz]: No, 20,000 words shouldn't be 60 pages :P But I'll change it

2006-07-17 [Paz]: It has been changed to 2,00o words :P (I think that was originally what I meant to put)

2006-07-17 [Ravendust]: that works XD my story is longer than that so far...
