What do you mean by story, a role story or just a tale, I mean, a story for playing or jsut reading like any book (do you get what I mean, I don't know how to make it clearer :? )
Just a story like any book, not an adventure.

Any further word on how many stories we can enter? This question has been open for a while now.

just wanted to anounce that I've put the story into the contest (I'm freaking tired of writing especially in a language that is not mine, so if the sentence above doesn't mean anything I barely care, so as with this one, :wink: )

Nathan of the FoS responded to my private message thus:
Fire away! As many as you submit will be considered.
Just wanted to share that with anybody else who might have wondered how many stories can be entered. The answer is: enter as many as you want! :)

If it's a complete tale then fine. If there's a little more to go and it's better than everything else then that's fine to. If it's just a muddled beginning and set-up with no conclusion then it's not fine.
15-20 pages? 5-10,000 words? and you call that a short story? :evil: Whoayoutrynakid? :elena:
Whatever the case, I intend to actually enter this particular contest. It shall come in several chapters and I may nevr finish it. Then again, I may. :|

So, gentlemen, that's how it is. Until Grissome.... resurfaces, I'm the acting president, and I say starting with this... anniversary festival, we run this city into the ground! :D

Out of curiosity, what happened to this?

I was mostly hopping to get some attention for this board. The contest is finished and I'm slowly reading everything here before deciding on a "winner".

Thanks for asking first, Isabella. :D I've been wondering myself.

I was just passing by through the forum and I found this... what happened in the end?

I heard that there has been some trouble changing the actual forum names. If true, that would mean the contest's main advertised prize would be undeliverable.

I also wonder about this too. The competition is over a year old, now. Is it possible for the Fraternity members to announce a winner, even without a prize?

The forums aren't particularly active and a routine competition could spice things up... :)
