A writing contest, yes, writing, for any and all types. Fiction and non-fiction. Poetry and prose. Etc. etc. With rules and guidelines and critique just like all contests.

Hell, I might even throw in multiple sections with their own prizes, and why make it just writing? Could have it a general ART FESTIVAL! Where people share their sculptures and paintings and photography and graphic imaging and poetry and short stories and essays and more!

Who's with me?

In a cloud of fire, the Ronin Fire Eagle appears

Heh.. If I was any good at anything like that...
It's an idea. It's a good idea, actually..

And with that, ~Kamironin-Kaldazar~ disappears into shadows.

It depends on how short or long you want the stories. Original ones are best in my opinion. It helps to have a starting point that everyone has in common and they react depending on the situation. This might work. i`ve seen it done before, but that`s just a suggestion.

By original, you mean of the author's creation, correct? As in, their own idea, and not based off of a common topic. If so, this would be the case of course for any creative fiction (short story, poetry, etc.) but if I were to add non-fiction, or topic based essay writing, well, that's self-explanatory.

Either way, could you elaborate on what you meant?

*looks back at thread* Oh. Sorry. That`s a roleplaying contest thing where the host starts the story off creating a scenario that different rpers react to in different ways.

Like the host starts the story going, and the writers continue it?

I could show you what i was referring to, but it`s really old or you could go back to the first threads using the day, month, and year buttons. Would you rather I give you the link to what I was referring to?

I like Saikii's idea the best. It will allow people to be very creative.

But this isn't a creative Roleplaying contest...this would be more like a full all out Art Festival, if I implemented everything possible.
