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

2006-04-20 [Paz]: There's the first badge :P I'll make one for the participants later. I'll badger [RiddleRose] to post her entry so you won't be the only one XD This one also has no deadline so hopefully people will come! 

2006-04-20 [Ravendust]: yeah *just hit the 7 page mark... XDDD I'm on a roll and not planning to stop just yet.

2006-04-20 [RiddleRose]: ack! i'm trying! have pity on my poor homeworkified state!

2006-04-20 [RiddleRose]: heh... cheater... ;) i still say that elftron thingy should have won... but it does make an excellent badge!

2006-04-20 [Ravendust]: jeez... I really have to work hard to get this done before June... otherwise it'll never get done... *busy summer*

2006-04-20 [Ravendust]: gah! oh noez! another bout of writer's block... T_T I got to the eighth page too...

2006-04-21 [Paz]: XD! I would've loved to have my entry win but Oh well >.> Sunny, I'm currently procrastinating on everything :3 although work is difficult./// Yay! Seven pages :D Nice work, I hope you break the writers block soon Ravendust ;)

2006-04-22 [Ravendust]: :3 I got over my inability to continue a scene, and even now I'm in the process of writing. :P hopefully this idea continues for a while. ^^;;

2006-04-23 [Kachi]: I finally bought a shiny new laptop with 100% working keys (my last one took two hours to warm up enough to type on... and the shift key hated me...) so I'll hopefully be getting harder to work now. Once I stop playing with Daz Studio... x.x;

2006-04-24 [Paz]: XD!! 

2006-04-25 [Ravendust]: if you want I can give you a sneak peek ;-) (*Cough* or at least the first paragraph, since that won't really give it away

2006-04-26 [Paz]: Go on ahead :) You can always add on to this later. No one should feel that they have to complete it before first entering XD However, it should be finished by judging period

2006-04-26 [Ravendust]: Alright, I've put up the first chapter, I'll be adding onto it as I complete each chapter.

2006-04-27 [RiddleRose]: whee!

2006-04-27 [Ravendust]: I picked 'Stolen Freedoms' for the title because the people were living quite freely before they were enslaved by the pirates of Fivald... and because most of the story is probably going to be based on their lost freedom.

2006-04-27 [RiddleRose]: shmee shmee! i'm going to be evil here and quote a fanfiction... "we've never had minions before... think of the possibilities!!"

2006-04-27 [Ravendust]: XDDD nice... I write fanfics on ff.net... XD my username there is quite lengthy: isisoftheunderground... and a lot of my stories are crap XDD

2006-04-27 [RiddleRose]: heehee! this is a hp slash fanfic... ever heard of the shoebox project? it's on livejournal... one of the single most amazing fanfics i've ever read.

2006-04-27 [Ravendust]: Never been there actually...

2006-04-27 [RiddleRose]: aha! well, tis amazing. me loves.

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