RPG Maker Ace? Gotta win!
Hey everyone, it's KRH and I will be doing a short contest. Anyone can participate, and when you do, it's only requires very few elements to get started. Let's begin with addressing the details of the contest.

Your story must be original, and not based off of anime's, movies, books, et cetera.

You must use correct grammar, as well as spelling. I will deny you nearly immediately if I see poor, to zero grammar.

When writing make sure to keep the dialect simple. I don't need some fancy ass languages in there unless it helps on the plot.

Your book should not be sexual, or perverted in anyway unless it helps with the plot. Either way, please keep it 14-.

With that said, I can now move onto the contest rules! Below are a list of rules needed to be followed or I will turn down your stories.

1. Your book must contain 3 chapters or more.

2. Remember that art and illustrations help with the final cut. They are not required though.

3. You must have a professional feel to it meaning it has to be indented, as well using proper language.

4. To participate, I expect to see a reading material that is suitable for above the eight grade. You don't necessarily have to be 14 or older to write, just as long as I am not reading some childish material.

5. When sending your material, please either send me a .rtf file through a TREZ PM (Since Nemo decided to "[nemo]<snip>[/nemo]" my address, looks like all you can do is go through PM. :D). I will inform you if I have read over your material. When I look through it, and I find it suitable, I will then add it to this post.

6. I will not be grading your story plot, rather I will be grading your planning, grammar, spelling, and if it is suitable to be used in the contest. I will not toss away material that does not appeal to me, rather only because it was bad in the above details. UNLESS the story absolutely sucked, and even then...

For those who made the final cut... They are listed below!

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Thanks for participating. I hope I get to see your stories!

I meant "feel" so I will now fix that. Also, Nemo, you can advertise this on the main page if you. I myself will be participating. I am currently working on a story by brain storming.

You need to make sure you leave no mistakes, otherwise it looks bad- is the elaboration for TGP.

Out of my vast collection of works, there are two I'd like to submit that I'm very proud of. As some know, I'm a very proficient writer and story creator (I'm a fanfiction writer and plot writer [example for latter: Legacy]). The problem is both stories I chose to submit are really good but they both don't meet the requirements. One is completely original, but only 53 paragraphs (9 pages), thereby not making it long enough. The other is 50 pages (!) but is based off a movie (it's an "extension").

So I think I'm gonna sit this one out and cheer from the sidelines.

I might, I might not join. It all depends on the time I have left during college. :l

Considering the only story I have of that length as of yet breaks two rules (I had another story that could have worked but lost 9k of it three months ago and haven't revived it but instead worked on another project) The idea is interesting but your rules need LOTS of explaining.

Any content is alright?

EDIT: That 50 paragraphs a chapter rule still seems strange to me considering some paragraohs can be as long as twelve sentences long. Just saying.

My furthest plot that matches is at 91 paragraphs.

I'm looking for easter eggs, are you?
Wow. Creating a masterpiece?
I've been ignoring this thread since I first saw it because I didn't read it properly, I thought it was just like a fanfic contest and stuff.
After I read it, I felt like this whole thing was a whole new level.
There's no way I can write something so... so... i don't even know what to say.

Well, since I can't participate, I'm wishing good luck to all the participants in this contest, I will be rooting for you guys.

Guys, it's not hard to write a story. I only ask for small requirements, nor do I even ask you to do a whole lot. Three chapters with at least 50 paragraphs is obviously to hard to write? I could add more to that rule if you wish.

Also I clarified on the first post that your content, and all this is required of it, is not fan based, or written off of something already written. Adaptations show little to no imagination to a plot, since there is a plot and setting for you to build off of.

Anything goes, Zane. Keep within the rules. Your over thinking it. Follow the rules, don't think abroad.

50 Paragraphs for me is approximately 25000 words.
I think that breaks the TREZ limit.

What is the point of the competition other than to give you reading material if we can't post them publicly?
Even if the judging is subjective, its pointless if nobody else sees the entries.
Maybe entrants should upload a .doc or something to that effect.

I agree with this.

They will see the entries. I will be filtering out the junk that gets sent in so the ones I add to the post are actually stories. You'll see it, clearly you have not read anything on the first post.
