Hm, yeah, a fan fic contest could be fun. I've been trying to get people to send in fan fic for a while now to Kevin's Watch, but with no real luck. I'd be happy to help promote something like this on the Watch's main page, maybe make it more "official". And I'd be glad to supply/pay for ...

Well, if it does vanish, then it does; I will find my motivation inward to write the fanfic I wanted to anyway, and post it here for comments.

WayFriend, I respect that you had questions, however I have answered them. Now, you are just trying to belabour this by coming up with childish scenarios where some evil corporation is preying on hapless SRD fans to write fan fic so I can plagarize and/or sell them. Why don't you put that active ima...

Iquestor, I figured you had to be the owner... No hard feelings. Your choice of a name stands out though. It's like me calling myself FiniteStateMachineGal.. No hard feelings taken. 'iQuestor' is a name I have taken for myself in various online personas since the early 90's, from my Mudding days at...

Perhaps intention was a bad word to use. In the first post, I submitted my ideas for this contest, and my *intention* for the direction of said contest was to limit entries to those which 'filled in' existing hooks or references in the original story. Most writing contests limit the entries in some ...

agreed!

SRD left so many hooks, so many stories left untold, again , a tribute to his talent and vision. Would that he had the span of a giant to tell the tales of the Land.

Well I've certainly made attempts at writing TC fanfiction though much of it was crossovers involving Star Trek characters or Batman. I think I could come up with a few ideas for a contest. I've always been interested in elaborating on Lord Mhoram's past encounter with a Raver. Thats exactly what I...

In the Lords defense they were under the "Oath of Peace" and they weren't used to thinking about war. Their lifestyle would have made them totally inadequate for the coming trials. So true. My opinion: Could there have been a better strategy, why YES. However, I am more interested in limi...

4. Entries posted, dissected, and judged by pre-chosen members. Well, after the whole debacle with the KW Anthology, in terms of hurt feelings from those whose submissions weren't selected, I think this whole business is on dangerous ice. Don't say I haven't warned you, in case this contest generat...

I think rule number three eliminates a lot of imaginative choices. You pretty much can't create a new story. I would enter, but I probably would not meet the deadline. I have a good one in my head, though. Maybe this would be incentive. What would I win? ;) My intention is to 'fill in' areas where ...

I propose a Amateur Fan Fic contest with the following guidelines: 1. Length beween 3000 and 11000 words. 2. Written in any style, or POV from the Land, good or evil. 3. <b>Must</b> recount a reported or referenced event from the series, but that was <b> not </b> directly written about : <i>examples...

Why doesn't Hile Troy's summon fail when Atarian dies in the act of summoning him? Isn't it <b>Law</b> that the person summoned goes back when the summoner dies? ------------------------------------------------ IIRC, Prothall went back to his home in the Northron Climbs, but I don't recall him takin...
