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

2006-03-24 [Ravendust]: meh... I'm surprised I even have a plot... my writing is usually spontanious...

2006-03-24 [Kachi]: Nothing wrong with spontaneous writing either, I'm thinking it's one of the best kinds. ^_^

2006-03-24 [RiddleRose]: yay! plot bunnies like some people and dislike others... me... well, i think they're afraid of me. XD plots avoid me like the plague.

2006-03-24 [Ravendust]: lol, You know, I've only completed one novel... I don't think that it is really worth publishing though... *sighs*

2006-03-24 [RiddleRose]: heh... at least you finished it! the only things i ever finish are short stories, so i've decided to stick to them. ^_^

2006-03-24 [Ravendust]: Meh, I've finished a few short stories... ^^ I posted 1 story and poem so far on this site- one of the stories is for a contest...

2006-03-24 [RiddleRose]: i've got a couple up at this point... more poems than stories. but paz will shout at us if we chat randomly here. i well know how ze paz hates spam! XD

2006-03-24 [Ravendust]: heh, okay. *Shuts up and writes*

2006-03-25 [Paz]: I do hate spam but it's okay to spam here ;P I just get a little ticked when it's on a wiki meant for questions that need answering...

2006-03-26 [RiddleRose]: ah. well then: spamspamspamspamspam!!!! i'm not gonna lose a perfectly good opportunity to spam! XP

2006-03-26 [Paz]: Yesh >3

2006-03-27 [Nell]: 20,000 words min? Seriously? Cool. I'll see if I have time.

2006-03-27 [Veltzeh]: Oh, I just noticed a typo... in the first rule it should be plagiarised (or with z if you want to do American English). ;)

2006-03-27 [Kachi]: Eeeeg... I need a plot so badly. ;_;

2006-03-28 [RiddleRose]: heh... those do help occasionally... paz, i think i'm not gonna enter this one after all... sorry. XP i'm feeling a little overwhelmed with writing at the moment. maybe maybe if i have time later. ^_^

2006-03-29 [Paz]: That's okay by me :P Trust me I know the feeling... I fixed the typo XP I am not the world's greatest typer (I type with two fingers)

2006-03-29 [RiddleRose]: yay!! i used to do that... although i am faster now, i still cannot for the life of me touch type. XD

2006-04-01 [Ravendust]: I've reached two thousand words!!! *Dances for joy* Ugh... about 38,000 to go :P Anyway, I had somebody critique what I had written, and they said that it was good so far and that if I happened to get it published and sold- they would buy a copy...^^

2006-04-01 [Paz]: Good :D Maybe I'll buy a copy too if it's very well done ;P

2006-04-01 [Ravendust]: ^^ How sweet of you... I'm really trying to get it going... *just got over a little slump*

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.
