Time Is Ticking For My Writing Contest/challenge!


Scanty Demon

855 views

Attention due to my insecurity the time limit has been altered see below for more details.

 

So there you are watching your favorite television show, the hero is about to strike a fatal blow to evil (yet slightly sympathetic) dark wizard. The good wizard readies his wand and......everyone starts dancing? WHAT!!!!! Well maybe they'll what that's it? What the CEE JUST HAPPENED? Ladies and gentlemen the Gainax ending an ending purposely made to make little to no sense (some endings you have to think a little bit).

 

You're probably asking why did you just waste my time with a show I'd never watch? The answer I have a writing challenge for you. Write a Bionicle short story begins normal until the very end. The end will must make no sense (or you could go the wait a couple days and realize that ending made sense route). Now the ending doesn't to be everyone inexplicably breaking into dance, be creative with your messed up ending. Whoever has the biggest "WHAT THE CEE!!!" ending will win.

 

Requirements if you choose to accept:

Must be a short story

Over 400 words

Bionicle themed story

You can a part of a series though I prefer you make non canon to your story

The ending must make little to no sense

All BZP rules apply

 

Updates: Time limit the challenge will begin Tuesday May 22th at 12:00:00 am and end on July 18th at 11:59:59 pm.

When you post your story add the tag "Scanty's writing challenge".

Please proofread your story, while I (or we I may need help) won't hurt your chances of winning because you make small mistake we will if your story is unreadable. Should you make an edit pm me first and type somewhere after your story where you made the edit.

Edits to the might be a bit iffy but save it for the PMs.

 

Leave a comment or PM me if you have a question or concern. If I forgot something tell me (thanks for reminding me about time constraints guys). Oh by the way it's Party Time.

 

Edit: This my most bumped entry to date.

Edit #2: Once you have posted your story please leave a comment in this entry please follow the instructions on the page.

I'm liking all these Library-esque blog entries I'm seeing :D Looks like the shelves of BZP will be the place to be this summer. I'll accept your challenge, it'll be good for me. But is there a time constraint I should know about?

It will help the library indeed. Time constraints: the challenge/contest will end August 23th 2012 at 11:59:59 pm. The challenge will begin Wednesday May 23th 2012. Three months to write a story and then mind screw us with the ending.

@Grimoire Albastru Hey three months can go by pretty fast so just don't slack off :D . Look forward to seeing what you guys come up with Good luck!

I think that the three-month time limit might actually discourage entry, as people will procrastinate and possibly forget. I remember that bonesiii had a similar issue when he gave a deadline that was too far away for some other recent contest.

I'm gonna enter this.

Y'all are gonna have no idea what hit you.

My sensible plots make little to no sense in the first place, so I can only imagine what will happen when I enter this. But it will be fun.
