Also thanks to Infared, another judge and the creator of our kickbutt banner, judge Aanchir: Rachira of Time, -Windrider- for his help and ideas, Janus for the awesome theme, and Black Six for the sweet first prize!

And First Place goes to The Serpentine Plot by xccj! Contact Black Six for your prize! Runners Up: Legend of the Shadow by Shock waveThe Green Ninja? by WhiteNinjaWolf04 Congratulations to our winners, and thank you so much to all our participants! This was an awesome contest and I hope you enjoyed writing Ninjago stories and will join me in congratulating the winners. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Remember last year? We were all so excited about the grand reveal of THE GREEN NINJA. Theories abounded as to his true identity. Would he be one of the existing ninjas, upgraded? Or one of the bad guys, even a henchman? Or would he be a hitherto-unknown character?Or rather, that's what I imagine it was like. Because I don't know anything about Ninjago. At all. But I am told there is a green ninja! And there's a rumor that nobody knew who he actually was! However, apparently his eyebrows gave it away? ANYWAY.How It Works In this first-ever non-BIONICLE Library contest, I need you guys to put on your imagination caps and wonder: what if the Green Ninja was actually someone else? Who would it have been? Why would he have concealed his identity? What if "he" was actually a "she"? What if it was your OC?Once you've got a great alternate universe planned, fluff it up into a large-scale, but one-post, epic adventure. Of at least 500 words, just to help paint a gorgeous picture in the minds of our judges. It can be as canon or non-canon as you like (I mean we're already changing-up the Green Ninja here.) You can post your tale here in the Short Stories forums.How To EnterBefore December 10th, 2012, at 11:59 pm PST, post your entry in a new topic in Short Stories, and then post a reply in this topic with the information below.- Your screen name- The title of your entry, containing a link to your entry (don't know how to link?

Or, you can PM me, Hahli Husky, or -Windrider-, who knows as much about Ninjago as I do.- Do not bother or attempt to bribe the judges. If I find out you were harassing them or trying to make them vote for your work, you'll be disqualified.- If you suspect someone is cheating, please PM me. Don't post it here.- Let's stay on topic. If you are going to post, make it a post that adds to the discussion. I will delete spam posts without any sort of warning.Thanks for helping me out by following the guidelines, guys!

Toa Smoke Monster Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I don't know a lot about Ninjago, but I might still enter this if I get some free time to come up with a decent story.Question: Can we use Bionicle characters in our stories, or are we restricted to only Ninjago characters? Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltex Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Argh... I KNEW THAT SOMEDAY MY NOT FOLLOWING INJAGO AT ALL WOULD COME BACK TO HAUNT ME!!That said... if we can include Bionicle characters... well, I'm not usually one for crossovers, but I might just have an idea. The only problem will be not turning it into some sort of comedy. Time to start researching!-ibrow JOIN AETHERGARDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot to put that one in the rules.Bah, I was just going to enter two stories and then pull a "BUT YOU DIDN'T MENTION IT IN THE RULEZ" but you caught it already. :PIt'll be interesting to write this and try to do justice to the characters, but I would like to try and enter. But you just had to end it during finals week, didn't ya. Hope to read some cool entries for this!

True, I have another Idea that fits perfectly and am over 400 words in. I think this will turn out quite nicely. 3DS Freind Code: 1693-0634-1082 Name: Joey I also have Mario Kart 7, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Pokemon Y and Kid Icarus: Uprising PM me to add me.
