2839, Third Short Story Contest on 13th of May 6pm
Posted by Saeorad on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
That's right. It's time to start preparing for the next Short Story Contest! Get ready to enjoy epic stories and laugh out loud comedy among others!
All who are interested are welcomed to attend the Short Story Competition on the 13th of May at 6pm as the Gods tell time at Lady Ishuli's Library. Please notice that this is an hour earlier than the past two competitions. While all are welcome to attend only a limited number will be able to participate. Please send a missive with your intention to participate to Saeorad and include the title of your story. Lady Ishuli has graciously accepted the role of benefactor of this competition and will provide the rewards for those who win.
Rules: 1. Any topic or format, such as poems or parables, is allowed but it must be between 8 and 30 lines in length and you must be able to recite it in five minutes time, so please be prepared prior. Also, please keep in mind that presentation helps as much as content so don't go too slow or too fast in your recitation and feel free to use props or movement as aids.
2. All attendees will vote for their first, second, and third favorite stories at the end. To keep things fair and interesting participants cannot vote for themselves, however. You do not need to be a participant to vote, though you will need to be present for all stories so get there early!
3. You can ask someone to be your proxy and tell your story for you if you cannot make it, however those present will take priority in the case of too many entries and those who proxy cannot tell their own story.
The entire contest will take approximately one hour. At the end, all in attendance will have until another half hour has passed to make known their votes to Saeorad. After the votes are tallied the winners, up to three depending on the turn-out, will be announced and rewarded by Lady Ishuli at Her pleasure.
For any further inquiries or specific rules please contact Saeorad.
I look forward to hearing the truths each of your stories will bring!
Saeorad

2840, May Contest Winners!
Posted by Saeorad on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
The winners of May's contest are:
1st - Telez with River 2nd - Aiya with Eternal Flame 3rd - Faldeikso with "Almighty"
Congratulations to the winners and to all the participants and audience members who made for a great contest! Also thanks to our benefactor, Ishuli, for the venue and rewards. Perhaps most importantly, thanks for everyone who had to deal with my mistakes in spelling or mixing up the 2nd and 3rd place at the end! These contests run until very early morning for me so I tend to get a bit sleepy by the time they are finishing so I hope you will forgive me!
Next contest will probably be a bit earlier to try to accommodate those who can't make it so late. Look forward to seeing everyone next month!
