Legolover-361 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I have a few questions regarding restrictions on applicable titan and monster designs:[*]Do the titans and / or monsters have to be living things? Specifically, I'm wondering if automated robots would be allowed on both sides of the aisle, just one, or none.[*]Do the titans and / or monsters have to resemble living things? To clarify, I mean to ask if titans and / or monsters must look like a living thing (e.g. a dragon or a giant robot) and thus cannot look vehicular (e.g. a tank or airship).[*]How much of the titans and / or monsters must actually be seen? If I write a story from the perspective of a character who spends most of the plot hiding, and the monsters and / or titans mostly influence the plot from off-screen, would the story still be applicable?

We were thinking Titans = mechanical and monsters=organic for this contest, but whatever.2. Not really; they both can look as normal or fantastical as you like. If you're imaging a monster who resembles a tank, go for it!3. A story like that would be fine; the effects of the titans and monsters on others sounds like a cool concept.

And you can't change an entry once it's submitted.Are you sure you want to submit this as your entry? "hey girl: here’s an idea, but… it’s up to you: You’re the boss of this operation."

GSR Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) So as a contestant rather than as a host, I actually have a question about the theme!Part of the theme is to design your own monster or titan. Would taking a 'monster' alluded to in Bionicle canon that never actually appeared in person nor got any physical description (namely Marendar) and giving it a full description/nice juicy fight scene be sufficiently original? (I may have written a short story to the main theme of Titans and Monsters involving it and then remembered the 'design your own' part and gone oh nooooooo wait I had to come up with how this thing looks/acts anyway, better check) Edited August 7, 2013 by GSR Hey: I'm not very active around BZP right now.
