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

2006-03-20 [Veltzeh]: Hmm... I wonder if I'll be the only enterer (provided I get a story whipped up). XD

2006-03-21 [Ravendust]: Well, actually I plan on entering... I've got a story started... but its not made it past two pages :P

2006-03-22 [Kachi]: I'm really tempted to enter. I've not done sci fi in a while, it could be a great challenge.  :o

2006-03-22 [Ravendust]: This is my first sci fi story ever... I'm hoping that it comes out as well as I plan for it too...

2006-03-23 [RiddleRose]: i'm hoping to enter too. obviously i won't judge my own stuff... >.< i shall disregard my own entry (provided it ever appears) completely when judging the rest. :)

2006-03-23 [Ravendust]: This story is coming a little faster now- though I still have a long way to go... (only a little over 1000 words thus far)

2006-03-24 [Paz]: That's great to hear! :D I was starting to fear that there would be no entries! I cannot wait to read ;)

2006-03-24 [Ravendust]: believe me, I want to do this big time. I can't wait until my story is finished...

2006-03-24 [Kachi]: I have a start~! *blissfully happy* ...Although now, I need a plot, which is the one bit that's the problem. :/

2006-03-24 [Ravendust]: XD As soon as I saw the contest I had a plot which *never* happens at all... but I know pretty much where I want the story to go... *glares at the pitiful 4 pages* *sigh* I wish it would hurry up and get longer... but I suppose for it to do that I would need to write more, now wouldn't I? :P

2006-03-24 [Kachi]: Aah, you want to be careful, thinking all you have to do is write. When you do that, the characters end up taking over and it takes gods know how much editing to get it back on track. x.x;

2006-03-24 [Ravendust]: Hn, yeah, I know. I'm not just thinking that I have to write though...

2006-03-24 [Kachi]: Still... I envy you for having a plot you could immediately write!

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