Fan-Fiction Contest [Deadline Extended!]

[Sterne]

I'm probably too lazy to write up a story that's at least 7500 words. But I do like to RP, and I was wondering if there is an out of game community of RPers here that I could hook up with on some external website somewhere, since I'm not on the besaid server and people don't RP on my server.

ffixv-roleplayers.com !

First of all: Great idea! Couldn't help but start writing

Then 2 questions:

When we submitted, we can still use the text for a blog or something? Not sure if i understood this right.

And...what about a little bonus or something for people who don't have english as a first language? Because when grammar etc. counts, not having grown up with the english language is a huge drawback...just an idea, i don't care about winning, participating is already fun And of course, everyone could pretend to be foreigner...

7'500 is not so much to write, I'm glad you changed the requirements.

Good luck to everyone!

Greetings,
Raine

If you feel like you want to include that in your submission, feel free to add that in the body of the e-mail you send.

Bump for niftyness.

Also Sterne, I submitted my work last week to you, but I never received any kind of "Yes, we got it, you're entered" type of confirmation. Can you let me know so I don't panic... thanks...

Also, if i made some edits after submission, can I re-submit as long as its before the deadline?

[Sterne]

A bump For visibility.

I hope you got my last email Alexis - my cellphone crashed while sending it

Is a comedy story allowed that features game mechanics to a certain extent? (e.g/ "Whoops sorry, I left my Raise spell at home")

Sorry for the late response!

I'm sure that's just fine It'd be nice to some lighthearted fan fiction when I'm sure everyone has one drama or another

If you feel you were judged unfairly, clearly write out an e-mail explain why, and it'll be taken under consideration.

Have a great week!

Waiting for the results of this is almost as bad as waiting for an XIV patch!

It was a struggle at first to get all the judges back in line. A number of them left the game and lost interest, others had real life tragedies and just won't have time to read let alone play the game for a while.

Don't worry though - we have a handful of people to judge and they've started (or so they say).
