Basically I have not had any ideas to solve the issue of not having active members and/or no one interested in joining the guild.
I propose there should be a large contest that is judged by a board (or at least 5) different people.
This is my first attempt at an actual contest (the others failed) so I suggest there should be a free write, following the rules, that should be submitted no later than:________________________
After all submissions are judged there will be our first annoncement of whether we have a tie or we have our first round of writers eliminated and then the next writing submissions will have to be retrieved by:_________________ third:_______________________ and so on and so fourth until we have a winner.

Be prepared: You should know something about all types of genre, whether romance, sci-fi, horror, thriller, etc.

First Place winner will recieve 5000g
Second Place winner shall recieve 3500g
Third Place shall recieve 2000g
All people who are eliminated shall recieve 200g
If a certain submission is deemed to be worthy of high praise they shall recieve a mystery item or gold.
1000g will be be randomly given out. Your screenname will be written down, thrown into a hat and I shall be forced to fish it out to make sure all is fair.
