Welcome to LoperDoper's Something For Everybody writing contest!
The Something for Everybody writing contest aims to provide, well, Something for Everybody. It's a three category contest
You can enter with Prose, Poetry, Script or Comic, which each Category will specify. One winner shall receive 30k plus a currently unannounced animal companion toy.
How To Enter
You can enter by posting in the thread, PM'ing me, Google Docs link, and email in certain circumstances.
All entries should have a title saying these things (Have this as a subject title on PM/email):
Username - Category # - Format - Title (optional)
So if I was entering something myself the entry would read
LoperDoper - Category One - Prose
Username - Category # - Format - Title (optional)
So if I was entering something myself the entry would read
LoperDoper - Category One - Prose
RULES and Information
1. Entries must be of reasonable length. If you believe you can ace a category prompt with 50 words, go ahead. Similiarily, if you think you require 145,000 words to cover a category prompt, then knock yourself out.
2. Entries need to be coherent, of decent grammar, and of good spelling. I'm a native English speaker, but I won't be unreasonably harsh on a misspelt word or two, however if the whole thing is written LyKe DiS <3333, I may have to refuse your entry.
3. The contest shall close on 15th June. If the post stamp doesn't say 15th June (or before), I'm not accepting it. All times appear to me in GMT. If I don't recieve enough entries, the competition shall continue for another month.
4.A winner shall be chosen out of the entrants to the three categories. They shall recieve 30k plus an unannounced animal companion toy. Any special mentions shall recieve a Heart Shaped Box of Sweets plus a little extra prize if I deem it suitable.
5. If a Category calls for Poetry, I shall also accept Lyrics.
6. I would not like to see romance. A peck on the cheek and a hug is fine, but romance mostly makes me squirm.
7. You can enter every category once, and one category (of your choice) twice. However you can only recieve a special mention/win once.
8. Once the competition is over, I shall give feedback to those who ask for it via PM. All others shall receive small judging notes in white below their names.
9. People who entered into the original competition (with nine categories) can enter again. Different prompts, different contest *shrugs*
ENTERING A COMIC
I understand that Comics take time to plan, draw, colour etc.
Because of this I will accept three "stages" of comics
1. A beautifully coloured, shaded and complete comic.
2. A mapped-out and generally sketched out pages. So I want to be able to see the circles that shall become people, and the speech bubbles, and where on a page they would lie.
2. A mapped-out and description on the boxes. So I want to see the boxes as they would appear on a page, with a text description of what would be seen in each box (Are they called frames?)
