Say there was a Writing Comp on SF?
This isn't official of course; I'm just curious. I've talked to a few people about it for the past ten months or something, and the topics been passed back and forth. There seems to be some good writers on here, and I'm just wondering if you guys would enter; have a nice change.
Again, this is just something I'm wondering about, and to see how many devoted writers there are (or people who like to do it for fun n_n).

I'm not a devoted writer, cause I have lots of other things to do, but yeah, I do it for fun and I would join one.

I would consider entering. I have both fanfics and originals that are underway that I could put in.

I don't know if I'll join or not, I'll probably just read, I'm not that good at this kind of stuff.

Thanks Kotor, I guess you're right... I'll join then, it does sound like fun.

Don't underestimate yourself, Zachey ;D
So is this just a vague idea, or is it happening?

Re: Say there was a Writing Comp on SF?
I'd enter, I'm not a bad writer if I do say so myself, I just never get around to doing it. It'd be great to have an excuse to slap myself for being lazy and write something.

Sadly, I'd pay to see that...
I voted a while ago, I'd join, Original Fiction though, not a very big fan of basing my stuff off of the work of others.

Re: Say there was a Writing Comp on SF?
@Silver: Ok
@Angel: Are you talking about my book? Part of its somewhere in the fanfic section lol. I'm working on getting it punblished right now, I just have to figure out how to contact the publishers lol.
@Shade: lol, I don't know how bad I'd be, I have never drank yet lol.
I don't mind non orriginal writing, I prefer orriginal, but I like to combined characters from several series lol.

Angel:: Yeah ...
I could do both really, but if this was going to happen, I'd probably rather help judge a little if that was possible, even though Wolvie said the judges would be mods and admins D=< D'X

Oh you've been PMing wolvie? I think so too, but then the mods and admins can't join, can they?
I think to make this true, someone should start a topic about this on the Staff Room for louis and the other admins to read.. maybe form a division (guys from the RPG team perhaps) to make the competition concept and actual realisation? (and think about the prize too, of course )

No, we were talking about it somewhere else and on msn ... I think. And I think I was talking about it to Louis on msn ... or were we talking about computer IPs?
We can't get to the Staff Lounge, lol. Though, Kotor is working something out I think =]
Angel:: Nah ... not as much. =]
I think it would be awesome
AND WHY SHOULD ADMINS/MODS NOT BE ALLOWED TO ENTER?? DX Just the judges can't enter.

Re: Say there was a Writing Comp on SF?
Well, if he's not an undercover admin now, I still reckon he should get promoted. Just cause he's awesome and I think being a mod would fit him well.
Only if he let's us do this >_> d;
You know, if we call for Annie, she'll probably come. Cause she'd be searching her name every time she logs in, so these posts should be there.

LOL that's like saying Free4ever should be a mod, we know they could, but there are reasons they shouldn't (Free would be a terror in the Admin CP lol we'd login one day and think it was April fools again)
and that's just bribery
you know, if we keep this up, we could attract her via mass posting approaching spam

I don't talk to Free much, I did alot in the old days.
No, black mail.
And that's just silly.
I don't think I'd join ... cause I'm pumped at the fantasy of being a judge, lol.

Yeah, he just kind of fell off the face of the earth again, damn Xwoners
I want to join just because all this crap we have to write about in English just sucks, I mean, so long as I now know how to get the creative juices flowing I want to use it to write about something I like, not some 15 minute snapshot of my past...

He did have his ex to worry about, and finding a new house.
You'd be given a certain number of words. Maybe about two thousand? That's probably about seven pages of Times New Roman in size 16. And there'd probably be at least one other small thing you'd have to include/stick to .... if it's Original Fiction. Just to make it interesting.

How about limitation between 2,000 - 3,000 words? Original fiction with a certain theme, I suppose?
That doesn't sound to bad, but I'm used to really long books though. I'm not good at writing short stories, I'll still try though.
@Shade: Thanks, lol. But I don't know... I think I'll just watch. I know there are plenty of other really good writers/competitors on here
If you can write whole books, I'm sure you'll do well here, too, Zach

Re: Say there was a Writing Comp on SF?
how about just a high limit, but not a low limit? that way people can write shorter stories and still be in? idk if it'll cause problems, though.
or like two categories, long and short. idk lol

This looks really interesting. I'm not really i a writer, i mostly just do poetrly, but i sometimes do a little writing for my own enjoyment-though i've never actually finished a story-and i think i'd probably enter.
If i make any random typos or grammar errors, sorry. I'm probably on my iphone.

Re: Say there was a Writing Comp on SF?
I'm sure it would. I've had this weird idea for what would probably be a sci-fi or maybe fantasy forming in my head, and it'd definitely have to be in more than one book. Or i could do just one book and leave whoever feels like reading it wondering WHAT HAPPENS NEXT, but i'd rather not.
