The green light has been given! After weeks of preparation, the Contest can be launched!
This has been brewing in many users' mind for awhile. Enter the Official Writing Contest!
General Rules
1)Submissions for the context must specify the word count implemented. 2)It must adhere to the period's theme as the main idea, or at least have some connection. 3)It must be submitted by the deadline. (The deadline will be according to AG time so that people will not be confused by the timeframe/exploit difference in time zones.) 4)A winner cannot win twice in a row, though he or she can submit an entry the next week. 5)Winners get a merit.
What not to include
1)No excessive inappropriate language, such as vulgarities, swearing. This includes slandering anyone in the AG community. 2)No slandering of race, religion, culture, language of people. 3)No sexual references or innuendoes, though romantic scenes such as kissing can be included.
Actions that lead to disqualification
1)No plagiarism. If it has been discovered that the story has been copied, e.g. the plot has been copied, the user will be disqualified with immediate action. However, elements of inspiration can be allowed. 2)Only one submission is allowed for each user. So please do not create multiple accounts for multiple entries. If it has been discovered that a user has submitted many entries due to this method, he or she will be disqualified. 3)If someone's username is used as a character's name or mentioned in the story, ask for permission first. Failure to do so may lead to disqualification.
Judge: Me, though I will appoint someone else if I want to take part.
Sorry, when Dr. Iwilgetu's body is dissolving, it is: so much was the power of the pistol's electricity. Darn, I almost had it. Anyways, it will have to do. Sorry for the double post
Well, copying and pasting alone will not work. You have to change the symbols themselves Dark. A good but slow method would be to use the 'find' option in Word, to find all the punctuation and then changing them on Notepad/Wordpad/AG. Pain-staking, but definitely worthwhile.
I'll read it later, when my headache has subsided. And rest assured, my head aches no because of your story. ^^
Good story, dark. I don't really like he flow in the seocnd half generally, though. Your sentences are a bit too jumpy in places. . .less adverbs/adjectives should fix that. But the tone. . .phenomenal, by all standards. Very chilling. I like it
