If you notice any problems with either the site or the forums or access to certain areas of the site, usernames not working anymore or whatever, please let us know and we'll fix it as soon a possible.

Thanks!]]> Sat, 12 Jan 2013 16:52:47 +0100 5141 http://chorrol.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4092
With our last update we had too much content to put on a single page. So we've had to expand the section into multiple pages.

To make the section more accessible, and to make sure we won't run into the same problem soon, we've decided to split the old Fiction page into 4 different pages.

Parodies and short stories now each have their own page.

And the long stories have been listed alphabetically and are divided between two pages.


We hope you'll be happy with the changes.

First off, we've added the winners of the last two competitions, those are;
Reunion by Olen
Forward unto darkness by Adventurous Putty
Sugar, or Fear and Loathing in South Cyrodiil by Yorneim Heir

And we've added Morrowind, the fan fic written by Alexander (me ;-) )


hope you enjoy!]]> Wed, 25 Jun 2008 20:54:33 +0200 4085 http://chorrol.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4054
Considering the amount of entries in most categories, I'll be posting the top five for each category;

In the short story category;
First place and winner; Forward unto darkness by Adventurous Putty
Second place; Tedrils Journal by Andraz Drcar
Third place; My heart by Shades
Fourth place; Escape, by MafuLeTrekkie
Fifth place;; The true hero, by Matteo Nobis Sandén


In the medium sized category;
First place and winner; Sugar, or Fear and Loathing in South Cyrodiil, by Yorneim Hier
Second place; The Fall of the West, by Hemitheon
Third place; [CUaRRr]-akhh-trrals - or: A Horror of Misperception, by Squelchy Xerotripsis Underfoot
Fourth place; The last dance, by Agent Griff
Fifth place;; Eyes of the heavens, by Kyle Cadena

And finally, in the long story category;
First place and winner; The story of Trey, Treydog
Second place; We are merely shadows, Erika Webb
Third place; The Tale of Matthias Etanne, Hadrian
Fourth place; Bloodlust, The Metal Mallet
Fifth place; Dance of the ja-Kha'jay, Lakyan


Now, prior to getting in the final results, we've had to think of a way to choose between the categories to see which category would win the Signed copies of Oblivion and which would win the signed copy of the Shivering Isles map.
In the end we decided on a random drawing, and the winner of that draw was the long story category. So Treydog wins a signed copy of the Shivering Isles map, and Yorneim Heir & Adventurous Putty each win a signed copy of Oblivion.

I'll be contacting each winner today for the details.

Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks again to all the participants.

And finally, many thanks to all the judges who sacrificed their spare time to read through all of this.]]> Sun, 25 May 2008 11:10:14 +0200 4054 http://chorrol.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4038

Later today, after some quality sleep, I'm going to make all the entries available for you all to read. You'll be able to see your competition.

And now the judges will start their work. We're going to do our best to get you all the decisions as soon as possible, but at the latest before the last day of this month.

Until then, thank you all who participated and may the best man/woman win!

Last chance folks!]]> Wed, 30 Apr 2008 10:20:26 +0200 4019 http://chorrol.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4008
A week from today, on April 30th at midnight (GMT+1) the competition will close. So any entries that arrive after that time won't be allowed to enter. Be sure to send your stories in before that time!


Good luck!]]> Wed, 23 Apr 2008 11:08:41 +0200 4008 http://chorrol.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3988
Once an entry has been submitted, it's final. That means that if after a week or so, you suddenly think of an even better story to enter into the category you already entered in, you'll be too late since you can not change it.

So, if you decide to send in your entry soon, please think carefully if it's all ready to enter and if you're absolutely positive that's the story you want to enter with as you can;t change your mind lateron.



And a small reminder, please make sure to read through the rules -> http://competition.chorrol.com/rules.html especially the submission guidelines before sending in a story to save yourself some extra work.


Thanks for reading this,

So we got together with a number of other fan sites, and Bethesda, and have been able to put things together for a competition.

Basic facts;

Any completed story written by yourself can be entered.

Three categories for the stories; Short stories, medium sized stories and long stories.

Each category will have a single winner, with three great prizes to win;
Two copies of Oblivion signed by Todd Howard, and one map of the Shivering Isles, signed by the developers of the game.

You can enter submissions starting today, and ending April 30th.


We've also created a special website containing all the facts, all the rules and much more. Find it here;
Competition

We've also created a forum thread which you can use for any questions, comments and discussions. You can find that here;
Thread

It also contains the complete set of rules there.

So, lastly to everyone entering, good luck! And may the best writer win.


on behalf of all the fan sites involved (Planet Elder Scrolls, The Imperial Library, TES Nexus, UESP, Tamriel Rebuilt, Elder Scrolls.net, Bethesda and of course Chorrol,

This is a small competition, which will only be open the next week. Closing date is Sunday March 23rd.

Today's updates include several stories of Jack Cloudy; Oasis 1 & 2, Redemption, Corrupted Heart and Agent.

And the entire "Accounts of Rayden" by Redsrock.


And even now, there's more to come!]]> Sat, 15 Mar 2008 21:57:32 +0100 3907 http://chorrol.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3904
Today I've added the remaining chapters of Trey in Mournhold. So now both the stories of Trey are complete on the site.

I've also added an entirely new story. The King and I. Written by Rumpleteasza who's a member of the regular Bethesda forums. This is a story I first discovered quite a while ago, and it's a real gem. It has everything, mad gods, insane wizards, assassins, spies, intrigue, and the best thing is it features characters from both Morrowind and the game before it; Daggerfall. A must read for all ES fan fiction lovers IMO :-)]]> Mon, 10 Mar 2008 19:58:24 +0100 3904 http://chorrol.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3903
Today's additions are the 5th and 6th chapters of Minque's Serene of Cyrodiil, and the completed chapters of The Adventures of Arthago, a very exciting tale by Agent Griff.

And a short story, by an author not before seen here, Mote.

More to come in the coming while, so stay tuned! ;-)]]> Sun, 09 Mar 2008 16:12:53 +0100 3903 http://chorrol.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3864 From everyone here at Chorrol - happy holidays to you all!

Not so long after that, a rather serious bug was found in the game. You can read about the bug on the Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages. A user-made fix was posted on the official forums shortly after the bug's cause was determined.

Also, a beta patch to fix the bug has been released for the PC version of the game, which you can get here. The final patch, for both the XBox 360 and PC version of the game, is supposed to be released on Monday (30th April).]]> Thu, 26 Apr 2007 12:58:26 +0200 3757 http://chorrol.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3644
25 questions will be asked this time around, so we hope to get plenty of info on the Shivering Isles.

The name is the shivering isles, and it's also the name of the daedric plane of Sheogorath. We can expect to fully explore it, become Sheogorath's champion and battle new (and old) creatures.

The release date is set for the coming spring, and I'm sure we can expect more info in the coming months.]]> Thu, 18 Jan 2007 18:53:47 +0100 3623
