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

2006-04-01 [Veltzeh]: Ahhh. I think I know what story I'll enter here. If I get it further than the start, that is.

2006-04-01 [Kachi]: Wah, my friends inspired a great story at a non-NaNo meet we had (we're weird like that..) and I went and forgot it! *idiot* But... I fleshed out another by talking to 'em. O.o;

2006-04-02 [Veltzeh]: I'm stuck at the title of the story XD

2006-04-02 [Ravendust]: ^ Oh jeez... don't remind me that I still need one >_>

2006-04-02 [Paz]: Hahaha XD I love this angst!

2006-04-03 [RiddleRose]: paz you sadistic freak! heh... just kidding, sunny loves her paz... XD

2006-04-03 [Veltzeh]: Make up a title for me! XD

2006-04-03 [Paz]: Hmm... what's it about first? XD (So the title relatively matches :P)

2006-04-03 [Veltzeh]: An alien cyborg and its mentally messed up sibling as well as their human friend (mostly there for relating purposes), and their fleeing. ;)

2006-04-04 [Ravendust]: Title help for me too?: The last of a dwindling race is forced into galactic slavery and must go through many trials and tribulations to free her people...

2006-04-05 [RiddleRose]: "flight" for veltzeh... "struggle" for ravendust... i know, not very creative. XD don't eat me! i'm tired... and i like short titles... XP

2006-04-05 [Ravendust]: lol

2006-04-05 [Paz]: Like "Five Little Peppers and How they Grew" >P That's a rather long title actually, same with the Little House series. Hmm... titles... For V: "Escape to (a name of a place XD)" and Raven: umm... "The Last of her Kind". I think that, that might actually be an already used title but if it isn't then... well, they lack creativity XD

2006-04-05 [Veltzeh]: They don't actually escape anywhere ;)

2006-04-05 [Paz]: Alright XD "The Great Escape"? (I'm not at all someone who comes up with fitting titles :P) Unless, that's already a used title >.>

2006-04-19 [Ravendust]: WoOt for inspiration! My story went into a slump for a while, but I've finally got inspiration to continue it. ^o^

2006-04-20 [Paz]: Yay!

2006-04-20 [Ravendust]: wrote a few hundred words :P

2006-04-20 [Paz]: Good! I was hoping someone enter very, very soon XD I was starting to think this was a dying idea. I'll have to make some badges as well! I can't wait to see your work though ;)

2006-04-20 [Ravendust]: I'm working very diligently on my idea. ^_^ I hope that I'm not the only one who is going to manage and put a story up very soon... it happened in that Once Upon a Birthday contest XDDD I've passed the 3000 word mark! WoOt

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!
