~One-Liner Contest~
A way of creativity and action towards a prize!

Current Contest Ends: N/A
Next Contest Starts: N/A


Hello, hello! Welcome to the one-liner contest. It is a contest that you will have to choose a one-liner rp post from the selection, read it over closely, and decide and write down what you think that character should be doing and give more action and creativity to it! As for the possibilities and descriptions on what to do and such, you'll have to read more and such. You see, as I look around the Gaia Barton Town threads, I, and I'm sure most of you, notice how many people will write one-liners, when we know they can do much better and much more can come out of it! Be creative in your responses, think about that character, give depth to their personality and see what you can do to win a prize! You never know?

~RULES:

1~ You can only have up to one entry.

2~ To give an entry, simply write your creative and action-filled response, then send it to me with no apparent title. Just put somewhere in your PM or in the title that it's for this contest. Be sure to put what number entry you are working from!

3~ You may post and chat here, and get ideas, plot, other sort of ideas and such for your responses... any questions and such will also go here or by PM.

4~ I know you'll hate me for it in the future, but if you are a first place winner, you can not have an entry for the following contest. But, after that, you can! Same thing goes for if you win twice as well.

5~ Keep everything PG-13. Major rule, and follow the Gaia TOS as always.

6~ You have to be at least a semi-active member of the guild to join! I'm sorry, but we can't have undedicated people join the contest and not be part of the guild. It's not fair to us or my pocket.

*NOTE: You do not need to have an rp to join, nor do you have to be fully active as of yet. I understand there are lurkers who have their reasons, for they may just be looking for the right role play and time for other things. (Because we all have lives) But, if you're merely a lurker of the non-rp threads, never join an rp, but always in the contest, we may have a little problem. So, understand: semi-active doesn't mean you're completely active, in any rps, or just posting in the guild for fun just for the contest. It simply means, you're giving a small and growing effort to the guild! :3

7~ ENJOY! :3

May add more in the future.

~THE CONTEST:

1~ I'm sure you already read it, but this contest is to create a nice, character-filled post from a one-liner chosen from the selection.

2~ There will be prizes. What will the prizes be, you ask? Well, out of my money pocket, they will be donation letters, donation items, and other rare-ish items I can afford at the time. Do not question this, please. @.@

3~ There will be, from now on, a first and second prize winner. First place could win: Sealed letters, Donation Items from the price range, store items from the price range, or 10k-13k gold. Second prize will either win 5-7k or a store bought item or around the price, or higher.

4~ The entries will not be shown anymore. Why is that? because, for certain reasons, I believe it is unfair. They will be saved by me, and you will only get to see who has entered the contest.

5~ There is 5-10 new one-liners every month to choose from.

6~ The contests will begin on the 25h of every month, and end on the 18th of the following. Same routine follows for the 25th of that month and following.

~One-Liners for the Month~
Where your writing meets competition!

And~ here are the one-liners you will be working with for the daily contests! Remember, be careful and take time on your entry, because it could mean a lot in the long-run gold and prize wise. Remember the rules, contest features, and you should be good! Please enjoy! :3 Remember, it's your choice on what you want to do with them!

Now, I believe this should be said: Although I discourage one-liners greatly, I believe there is nothing wrong with the people who write them. Those people just aren't at a literate state in their writing and there is no reason to be cruel. :3

ALSO! You do no not have to put these exact lines in your entry. You can work into or around it as a theme. An example would be a character/scene introduction, maybe just a long rp post about something, but it can also include that line. Just remember: Please, please, do ot stray too much from the point of what the character is thinking/doing/surroundings, etc.

~The Competition~

~This is where you will be able to see all the people you're up against! You will no longer see the Entries people have sent in, for they are saved by me for certain reasons. But, on with the competition, for many shall enter, but only one will win the grand prize with their skills!~

November 10th: Um, hey everybody. And lovely contest people. ^^;; Wow.. you all probably dislike the fact of that last contest. I know, believe me. I feel utterly horrible for it indeed. But here's what happened.
When I got my internet switched over from Dial-up to DSL, we also got our phone service and cable changed. So... when our phone service changed, I guess it became 'third party' or something. And Gaia doesn't allow that. I bought my collectibles and prizes and stuff off of phone, because it was the only way I could do it. And so, I can't really keep up with the prizes until I can hook it up with another line.

I'm really sorry to the people who entered last and I didn't get that to you sooner. I was actually waiting for November to roll around to see if I could get some more and make it up to you all. But it still won't work. I WILL make it up though, don't worry, whenever I do get it fixed. I SWEAR.

I'm sorry again. And I know the contest has to be held off until it's fixed, but just wait! Things are turning around for the better and the phone issue will be switched over once again. ^^

September 25: Yes, everyone, the new contest is starting, or I should say the third! So you will now be able to send in your entries!
But Kiki's really sick right now, so she may be getting them late. >.<

September 20: IMPORTANT EDIT: THE WINNERS!!!
Hallo! Kiki here to announce the first and second place winners of the second contest! Whoo~! I know you've al been waiting for a long time, and I'm sorry.. but now I will decalre the winners, and send out your prizes! So...
Still waiting?
Almost there... and... *DRUMROLL*
The first place winner is... ULTIMATE NOVA! Congratulations! :3
And how second place of 5k is... IMALANE! Be sure to congratulate these guys, because they did a wonderufl job! But so did the rest of you, so keep up the good work and hope for the future, because with your talents, you're all winners! :3

Yes, I know, you're all probably VERY eager to see who the winners are.. well, I've only recently gotten home, and I need to get to work with it all! I will post the winners and send prizes out sometime tonight, sorry for the not-so-formal stuff, either. XD It will be up tonight though, the winners declared! And as of now, no more entries will be taken, the one-liners taken down. Sorry bout that.
-Mumbles and runs off to do her 2 page report then-

September 17: Lookie lookie, it's the last day to get your entries in! Or is it? D:
Well, here's the deal... Kiki's having a bit of gold issues. The stockpile is limited, you know... I've been giving a lot of gold/items and such to a lot of causes, and I seriously didn't even realize that the 18th was coming up so quick! School really does get the better of you these days... So, what I'm saying is, I'm extending the contest. I kind of want more entrants, too, for a better contest. It's being extended to the 20th for such purposes. Any other questions? Feel free to ask me. :3 And I'm really sorry about this!

August 25: The next contest is up and running! The one-liners have been put up, so you can start working on your entries and sending them in! The contest will now end September 18th, and there will be a first AND second prize winner!?!?!
Well, good luck to you all and I can't wait to see your entries!!!

YAYYY NEW CONTEST XD
Wooohooooo Kiki!
PostPosted: Tue Jul 24, 2007 4:35 pm


Sounsd great, I might put up something randomly but not have it as an entry. Maybe have it be an example XD.... of course I probably shouldn't bother considering I have all these rps to post in haha. Anyways it is a great idea Kiki, and I'll probably move it up to being a sticky if you want.

I love this idea, congrats. I can't wait to come up with something for an entry. Ooooh, I'm gonna go get started. ^_^
PostPosted: Tue Jul 24, 2007 4:53 pm


Gotta love contests!! mrgreen

Well, anyone can really enter, I mean... donation items are only 2.50, can sell one to get gold to buy a prize... the more entries the better, actually! Thanks, though. Yeah, I can move it up, I was thinking... wasn't sure though... :3

Thanks for letting me put it up! Hopefully, more people will want to be active then, because of the rule. xD

Lookie that-- already getting entries! How exciting! X3
PostPosted: Tue Jul 24, 2007 5:08 pm


Oh, I just thought of something. Do we have to use the original line in our post? And if we don't, would you like us to put somewhere which line we have chosen to use?

No, you don't. Actually, I was just coming to fix that. xD You may use the original line if you want, or you can use it as a theme and put an introduction or story to it; it just has to use that character or place with that idea to it and actions. And yes, you should some in your PM tell me what number you're writing from. xD
