Current Event - Short Stories Artistic Gymnastics ReimagineHow It WorksThe last event of this Olympic year is upon us! I hope everyone's ready for a final push for the gold!Everyone either knows the history, has a theory, or has read a fascinating myth on how most things came to be. A war was fought and a country was won, or perhaps an aspiring group set out to craft new lives on unclaimed soil. A god threw a bolder into the sky and created a planet, or maybe he sneezed and it resulted in an entire new race. There are countless stories and theories, and they all define us as passionate, imaginative, and clever beings.Yet, if you could step out of time and change the origin history of something, what would you pick? What would you do? Would you create a fascinating society of an unheard species on Neptune? Would the many nations of the world instead turn out to be just a few megacountries? Would a clumsy cat accidentally spill his milk to create the moon? Would there have been an intelligent species who lived on Earth before us? For this event, I'm looking for short stories that detail a new origin story for locations, namely planets and/or countries. Just let your imagination go crazy and scribble out that what-if idea you've always had.How To EnterBefore August 21st, 2012 at 11:59 pm PDT, post your entry in a new topic in COT, and then post a reply in this topic with the information below.- Your name- The title of your entry, containing a link to your entry (don't know how to link?

After that, any editing will get you disqualified.- Fictional locations are off-limits. For example, no Middle Earth, no Narnia, etc. Atlantis, El Dorado, Camelot, and countries that used to exist are fair game. If you think of a place that may or may not have existed, such as Atlantis, ask about it in this topic and I'll let you know if it counts.- No fictional characters from published works. This includes fictional characters from published books, video games, and movies. However, characters from traditional myths and legends are permitted.

Current Event - Short Stories Artistic Gymnastics ReimagineHow It WorksThe last event of this Olympic year is upon us! I hope everyone's ready for a final push for the gold!Most everyone knows about the birth of our little community here: a forum of Bioncle enthusiasts met a news site of like-minded enthusiasts, and it was true love forever (or at least, 11 years so far. ) A sweet story of blissful simplicity, but you know, over time stories tend to change and grow with myths and rumors. One of the favorite myths of the Library is that of BZ-Koro, a grand city in the Bionicle universe that is usually in the middle of a war when you hear about it. If you could rewrite the formation of BZPower, how would the friendly kingdom of BZ-Koro come to be? A shady deal between governments with questionable motives? An all-out war between Toa? A long and perilous journey by Matoran seeking freedom?For this event, I'm looking for short stories that detail a new origin story for the oft-imagined BZ-Koro. You are welcome to include as much or as little Bionicle lore as you wish; for instance, canon Bionicle characters, locations, and events can be included, and members can be Matoran, Toa, Dark Hunters, etc. Or they can just be humans. Or a mix of the two! You can write yourself and your BZPower friends into your story, or popular members, or both. Whatever you like. How To EnterBefore August 21st, 2012 at 11:59 pm PDT, post your entry in a new topic in Short Stories, and then post a reply in this topic with the information below.- Your name- The title of your entry, containing a link to your entry (don't know how to link?

After that, any editing will get you disqualified.Q&AQ: Does my story need to be canon?A: Absolutely not. It can be as canon or non-canon as you want. I don't think there's ever been a Library contest where the entry stories were required to be canon. That's kind of the point of writing fan fiction.Q: Can I use my characters from another story?A: Yes, you can use your characters, setup, locations, all that.Q: Do I have to enter all the events?A: No, you can enter however many you like. It will have no effect on your standings.Q: Can I enter both the Library and COT version of this contest?A: Sure!Q: I'm a staff member but I really want to enter.
