I'd be up for it.

Similar to the first small forum only one we had? If so was the anonymous posting a good concept all things considered? Certainly having the stories and voting anonymous was nessesary but the commenting did cause a few issues. Also length is something worthy of consideration, but I'm sure it will be in due time, for what it's worth I'm rather partial to very short fiction...

Sierra - I'd agree on all three points :nod:

I guess I could be persuaded to lend my incredible warped mind to this cause...either as a judge or a writer.

I wish another fan fiction competition would happen to kinda give the forums a jolt of new members and activity.

Not to mention it was great reading all of the ES related material that was written.

Also, I am aware that I necro'd this thread big time.

Don't worry. I've been bumping dead threads by accident constantly, so what you did is nothing compared to what I've been accidentally doing. Anyway....

I do agree with Kiln, a fan fiction competition would be pretty cool.

Alright, if you guys are serious about this, somebody should put a proposal through to the admins here. They set it up and ran it last time, although it has been quite some time since the last competition, I feel that the release of Skyrim has bolstered the number of ES fans considerably.

I'd love to see some fresh blood injected into the forums. Maybe this would be a good way to do it.

Ok guys, I'm going to PM one of the administrators or moderators asking them if it's possible to set up another competition later. I'll get back to you with the answer soon.

EDIT: I just sent out a PM to minique, now I'm going to wait for a reply.

No reply so far so I'm guessing that there was not really any support for it.

I haven't gotten a PM back...so yeah. I'm guessing the answer is no.

Acadian had to wait 5 months for a response to moving his final chapter to the archive, Minque is traveling frequently to cat shows with her gorgeous cat.

Why can't we set up our own? Someone can agree to be the judge (jury/executioner) and all the stories would have to be entered under the judges name so all the entries remain anonymous. All of us on the forum can vote for which story we want to win, the one with the most votes gets the prize.

We could use Treydog's "Rat Award" (once more) as a badge of honor for the winner, lol.

I'd be up for that, and I'd be happy to be one of the judges; I do advance reading of manuscripts submitted to a publisher, have review books and plan to study writing and literature pretty extensively in my free time and plan to do it for Uni, so I'd like to think that I'd be pretty well qualified for it.

I'd have to forfeit my entry, of course, but that's fine with me; gives the rest of you all a fair chance. tongue.gif
