So You Think You Can Roleplay?


Modeled after a thread in the forums, SYTYCRP is a contest where you post your best role play responses (you may preface it if you'd like, but the less is better) and a panel of 3-4 judges will decide the winners. You may either post a role play response, or a small--small--original short story of your own. The criteria is:

*Content-Did it make you think? Were you drawn along for the ride as the author weaved a picture for you? Was it interesting? Fun to read? Exotic? Thought-provoking?
*Originality-was it a plain-Jane post, or did it really seem unique?
*Organization-Did they set it up in a way that made sense? Were there paragraphs in the longs ones, and no run-on sentences?
*Grammar-Were there periods, commas, semicolons, and generally punctuation in the right places? Exceptions can be made.
*Vocabulary-Did the vocab really give you a better idea of what the person was talking about? Did it match the situation?

Rules:
(Now here's the catch)
Your post must be at least three lines long (unless cleared by me or one of the judges) and no more than five chunky paragraphs long. Again, if you feel that your post is exceptionally an exception, PM one of the judges to clear it. The contest winners will run weekly unless nobody replies to this, in which case I'll change it. The contest will begin every Sunday and end on Saturday, and then the person who was voted the winner will be awarded 2.5k.* If this contest is successful, there will be runner-ups who recieve prizes as well. For now, they will just recieve the recognition. 3nodding

~Rules~

Rule #1. Follow every rule that Gaia has already set in the Terms of Service.
Rule #2. Normally, Goddmodding is not allowed, but if you can do it well, it may be alright. Remember that we are writing
Rule #3. Keep everything to a PG-13 level. Cybering is NOT allowed, but romance is. Keep swearing to a minimum if your character MUST.
Rule #4. Be fairly literate if you can. Remember, this is a contest!
Rule #5. Be nice to people. You would want them to be nice to you back! If you are critiquing, be kind, but likewise you need to accept critiques.
Rule #6. Any questions can be directed towards me or one of the judges.

You know what? Since this is the first one, I'm going to raise the prize to 4k. Still not a lot or anything, but if people donate to this, then I will gladly raise it waaaay more (depending on how much is donated) even as far as 10k or so.

Normally the prize would be about 2.5k.
biggrin

NOTE: Since there haven't been many applicants, the contest will be pushed back a week. There's gotta be at least three contestants. Everyone will post and NOT PM (gotta keep my mailbox clean wink ) and then I will PM you if you are the winner, runnerup, etc. As of now, runnerup does not receive prize--just recognition and a box full of virtual brownies. (Mmmm...Holograms!)
