Tysyacha Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Congratulations to you, Ztalker, as the co-champion of this month's Javyar's contest, and many thanks to all the rest of you who wrote and commented! I officially announce that the topic for July is: SECRETS Ever since the dawn of man, people have been keeping secrets in their heart of hearts. It is no different with the denizens of the Star Wars universe. What kind of information, transgressions, feelings, and desires do they hide? We'd love to find out! I'd like to set the deadline for the last day of July: July 31. I can't wait to see the tales! Deadline changed to August 3rd per Tysyacha's OK --Jae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litofsky Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Ah! Thank you. Now, to draw out an outline, and prepare to create my story! To be sure, the story only has to revolve around some form of secret? I think I've got my idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tysyacha Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 Yes, some form of secret, and you can make the secret as funny or serious as you like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litofsky Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Yes, some form of secret, and you can make the secret as funny or serious as you like! Very good! Thanks for the topic, Tysyacha/Ztalker! I'll be sure to participate in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev7 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I will most likely participate in this one too. Nice topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcesious Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Oh, my current story (wip) will most certainly have a great secret... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bee Hoon Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 So, erm, when is the deadline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litofsky Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I'd like to set the deadline for the last day of July: July 31. I can't wait to see the tales! Voila! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcesious Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I'm not sure if I'll be finished by then... I don't liek to be rushed. But I've never been one to try out in these contests. I'd rather just take the time to make my story really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather just take the time to make my story really good. Well, eighteen days should be enough. How big is this story of yours? I thought that entries were supposed to be one page or so. Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcesious Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Yes, but I liek to take my time... I'm the writers' turtle I guess. (Meaning I create stories slowly over time). I've been making this story (In my head) Ever since I was was an early teenager; and I've written the story before numerous times. But I would later go back and find it unacceptable, several times, and I've discovered that letting the story float around in my head for years allows it to get bigger and better over time. Only now am I really trying to make it as a final draft. But still, I'm brainstorming ideas for it, because I want it to be long, eventually like a series of stories put together...

Tysyacha Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 Who votes for the deadline being extended to August 3rd, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litofsky Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Who votes for the deadline being extended to August 3rd, then? Shouldn't eighteen days be enough? Sorry- I'm not familiar with these contests. What's the usual amount of time given? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcesious Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I don't really want to be in the contest, so I don't see why an extension is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 There really isn't a 'usual' amount of time given, so far as I've been able to tell. It usually seems to be related directly to when the winner of the previous month makes their choice of topic and Jae gets around to seeing that this has been done For my part, I don't think an extension is necessary. I've got an idea rolling around in my head, but I'm sure a couple of weeks will be enough to shake it loose and get it written down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC-1162 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Who votes for the deadline being extended to August 3rd, then? I do, I do! I've not written in quite a while and I find this topic might be relatively easier to jump back in with, but I'll need time. August 3rd please? Maybe more?

Tysyacha Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 Okay, the deadline is now officially August 3rd. On your marks--get set--write! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev7 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Good. Thanks for the time increase Tysy. I have already started, and have so many ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceFightWMe12 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 You know...I love how the first thing that pops into my head for this one would NOT be appropriate for something to be posted here...XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Catto Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 ^^ Funny. I was just thinking the exact same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Posted mine yesterday, but still I have to thank Tysy for the deadline extension. Since there was no rush (and not to mention that I was out of town and out of internet during the last six days) I could do some slow editing and improve my entry. Just a few more days and then "may the best story win". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True_Avery Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 ^ Haha, gotta agree. Got mine in yesterday. Thanks Tysy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 If you all want to edit and re-submit I'm OK with that as long as it's only 1 time (I don't want to keep track of 15 revisions) _and_ you let me know by PM. Otherwise, it'll be be very confusing when I see multiple submissions by one person in the moderation queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
