Jae Onasi Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Javyar has decreed that in honor of the month of Love, this month's theme will be 'Love'. You may submit 1 fic. You cannot submit your fic anywhere else prior to the submission deadline (e.g. ff.net, CEC, KFM, etc.) since that would be unfair, and you can't submit previous fics, sorry. You also may not advertise or publish excerpts or summaries of your submission prior to its release, either. Deadline for submissions will be 4pm CST on 28 Feb. If you have any questions about this particular challenge, please post them here.
Diego Varen Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Can we submit two Fics? One for the Scoundrel's Prize and one for the Love Prize? I'm going to like these challenges.
Carlo El Sanchez Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 What's a Fic ? please tell me, me want prize.
Jae Onasi Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 @Carlo: 'fic' is short for fanfic or fanfiction. Write a story. @Topsite: The first post says "You may submit 1 fic". The prize is 'the Scoundrel's Prize'. The theme is 'Love'.

Carlo said: What's a Fic ? please tell me, me want prize. The prize is of no material value, grants no prestige, won't give you a custom title, and is in other words just an indication people liked your fic. You don't get to keep it permanently, by the way.
Carlo El Sanchez Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Does it have to be Star Wars related ? Of course--Kotor related, preferably. This is a Star Wars forum, after all. --Jae

Oh right, thanks. I got confused. @ Emperor D: You put Topsite in Carlo's quote and I know I might not win. It's just I like the idea of participating in a challenge. @ Carlo: Writing Fan Fics are fun. I've been writing Fan Fics for a year now.
Carlo El Sanchez Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Sounds cool, im going to think up a cool imaginative Star Wars story of my own. When you have a story in mind do i post it in this forum, or the fan fic forum ?

Remember that it has to tie into love. Carlo El Sanchez said: When you have a story in mind do i post it in this forum, or the fan fic forum ? If you want to enter the contest, it has to be in Tales from Javyar's Cantina. It's invisible until the due date, though, so don't be surprised if you can't see your fic.
Salzella Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Does it actually have to based on or around a love story, or can it just happen to have love in it? (*is writing a fic at the moment*)

You'll find a lot of answers to your questions there, and I'm not going to re-type them. Tales that don't follow the theme or instructions will be deleted. @Salzella--it does not have to be a love story, but it does have to have love in it somewhere.
Daft Adidas Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 ok this sounds cool and Carlo don't rush fics and don't think their easy and check over spelling too. Jae if you have a fic already in CEC like Topsite's sera tana saga can you post them if their finished for the prize?

Jae if you have a fic already in CEC like Topsite's sera tana saga can you post them if their finished for the prize? You cannot use fics that have been previously posted. That gives previous submitters an unfair advantage. Please see the first post. The first post in the Tale topic will always have the requirements, as will the stickies.
Hallucination Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 I must say this forum is a very good idea and Jae deserves the Monocle of True Sight. I just have a quick question about this month's contest: when you say love are you referring only to romantic love or can we enter a fic about any type of love?
Jae Onasi Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 Any type of love is just fine. Go for it. As long as it's not past PG-13.
Hallucination Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 But what if it has Orlando Bloom-olas in it?
Rogue Nine Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Well then, I think Jae would insist that you insert her into the story as well. ;D
Emperor Devon Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Hallucination said: I must say this forum is a very good idea and Jae deserves the Monocle of True Sight. [Typical nemesis rivalry] A few months back during an informal conversation, I tossed this idea at her, but she said it would take too much effort to do and that was the end of that. Not too long after, she said we should do something like the dueling circle at KFM. Then for several weeks after that, I kept nagging her to get it started. Eventually she did, and we thought of an 'invisible' forum. She hogs all the glory. I even came up with the name for this freakin' place. Hallucination said: I just have a quick question about this month's contest: when you say love are you referring only to romantic love or can we enter a fic about any type of love? The topic 'love' is quite relative. It could something like Atton's love for juma juice.
Daft Adidas Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 so you just post your fic in Tales from Javyar's Cantina as normal but it won't be visible right? Cool.

Daft Adidas Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 Ok everyone i'm going to send my fic now! In Javyar's Cantina just like I normaly would! lol. Good luck to everyone who enters! May the best fic writer win! Please refrain from discussing your submissions prior to its release. --Jae
Diego Varen Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 I sent mine last night. Anyway, good luck to everyone who has entered, or will enter. Please refrain from discussing your submission prior to its release. --Jae
Jae Onasi Posted February 14, 2007 Author Posted February 14, 2007 There have been several submissions and I hope you all keep writing. Edit: I spoke with one of the KFM moderators but I need to talk to Pris about getting the OK to cross-post, so until I get that OK, don't cross-post your fics. You'll have to choose either site, but preferably will write something for both.
