About that Halloween contest...

Re: EUREKA!

748, very nice! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif Crusade eh? That sounds interesting. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
Re: EUREKA!

I hope others find it interesting too /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I do hope that we'll get to see all the entries after the competition is decided. It will be interesting to see the variety of ideas people have come up with
 
Re: EUREKA!

Good, good... I finally have a story. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Now I need to reduce 1216 words to 750 words.
 
Re: EUREKA!

I'm in. 601 words /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

At one point I was worried that I wouldn't get it up to 500. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
 
Re: EUREKA!

I'm not going to enter the contest. Although I have some great ideas, I'm also busy as hell, and this week is going to be terrible work-wise. I've been trying to find a spare minute to write 750 words of Babylon 5 fanfiction, and I can't. I haven't even updated Redux lately. Aaaaaghhhh.

You guys have fun!

*siiiiigh*
 
Re: EUREKA!

Well, Channe. As the one most voted for as "ringer" I'd say you just made this contest more fun to observe! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Most everyone figured you were a ringer. So, with you bowing out, the RACE IS ON! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Re: EUREKA!

Well, there goes my biggest competition. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

And that is meant as a compliment channe. You're a very good writer, and I don't know if I could come up with anything to beat you. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
You are going to get a compressed story.
But perhaps it is good, if I cannot tell everything literally.

Edit:

Finally, 615 words.
Plus, the story changed beyond recognition.
Whew... finally managed to send it. Going to sleep.
 
Re: EUREKA!

Although I have been a regular at the official B5 site for over a year now, and am very familiar with the posts of Joe D. I am new to this site. (I'm krenn67 over there).

I have no experience writing fan fic and am sorely out of practice writing fiction at all. But I couldn't resist the temptation when I saw the advert for a Halloween B5 fan fic contest. Not because I think I'll win (no chance) but for the excuse to write again.

I only hope my writing won't seem overly juvenile to more experienced writers. Also, I was writing on Word Pad, I have no Word Processing program at present and am unsure how long my story was. Sorry, but I'm too impatient to count a few hundred words myself. Hopefully it fell within the proper parameters. It seemed to be excepted w/o complaint.

Good luck to all and I hope we are afforded a chance to read all the stories, not just the winners. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Re: EUREKA!

Don't worry. Looking back, mine will be (without any doubt) the worst story submitted.

Antony is a wise one. He's bringing new people into the fold. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Re: EUREKA!

Of course. That's the best way to lure them in, isn't it? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Welcome aboard, Jim! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
 
Re: EUREKA!

No. It's a great way to lure in the writing-types, like Channe.

I'm not going to mention what Antony could put up for competition that would REALLY draw them in. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
Re: EUREKA!

Thanks for the welcome. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
 
Today is the day the entries are due in the writing contest, isn't it? I am looking forward to seeing what Ant and Kribu pick out as the best and the runner-ups.

I never could think of an idea. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
 
Yes... I'll be reading through them all tonight. They filtered through about 1 every few days... now they're rolling in!
