Makuta Matata Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) Is Hydraxon considered dead even though Dekar/Hydraxon exists?you might be able to if you are just writing about the original hydraxon.Yeah, that's what I'm doing. I looked again and I saw that he's on the list of legal characters, but thanks anyway!Edit: Another question: is it okay if the character dies at the end? Not at the end of the memoir, but after he finishes telling/writing the tale. Edited November 5, 2012 by Makuta Matata Three on Three - Memoirs of the Dead - Winner!!!

bonesiii Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Folks, do you think this contest needs an extension? There haven't been many entries.Is anyone planning to enter and won't be able to this week? If there's at least a few I may extend it a bit.

Scanty Demon Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) Well I'm for an extension, just so long as it isn't another month, though I know you won't do that. Just out of curiosity how long would this extension be? A week maybe two? Either way I could use the extra time.Edit: Yes I plan to enter and need extra time.

NecroticUnicorn Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) An extension would be useful, maybe a week or two?I allowed myself to procrastinate, then started thinking that I wouldn't be able to cough up anything readable in a few days. An extension would certainly help, maybe not with the readability, but at least the story would actually exist in some form of mangled, twisted mess. ~Necricorn Edited November 10, 2012 by NecroticUnicorn ~Necricorn Formerly known as Axinian the Chronicler If you are part of the unspecified percentage who realize that "real music" is a relative term, copy and paste this into your sig.

Lewa Krom Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I wouldn't mind an extension. I was going to finish it up this weekend, but I'm behind in college apps.

After reading this judge post, you are authorized to edit your entry to fix these errors. After editing to fix these things, please post in the entry topic saying what you changed....then they are errors that should be addressed and you have permission to edit to fix.

DoomIgnika Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I know we're not allowed to tie our story in with official stories, but are we allowed to include events that are in the official story? For example, the backstory of a certain Dark Hunter? Are we allowed to explain the backstory of a Dark Hunter (not saying they're the protagonist, just if they're related to the plot), or would this count as a tie-in?As well, can we use events that were in an official story, for example, the raid on the Toa Fortress Lhikan was stationed on? Again, not sure how much this is counted as a tie-in. ~ DoomIgnika ~ (too lazy to make an actual sig) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mersery Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I plan to partake in this contest too. I'll have my entry in as soon as possible. This may sound like a bit of a silly question, but is there any requirement for action in these stories? I ask this because my story primarily revolves around dialogue and conversations over fighting and life-or-death situations, so I just wanted to see if it was alright if I had a story revolving around two characters pondering the mysteries of the Great Spirit and learning for one another.

I don't think there's any rule regarthing action in stories. So you can do that, but you have to keep in mind that your story will have to be voted by BZPower members. This means that if they think your story is boring, they won't vote it. But do not let that change your plans, I suppose there is many people llike me, who also enjoy slower and deeper stories not based exclusively in one-liners.

If your story needs you to mention existing backstory briefly you can. Several entries have also shown some canon scenes that didn't get described before, just mentioned -- as long as you're true to Greg's intent of it (and preferably most of your story should be your own stuff)..I would draw the line basically at a scene that was already shown in-story. I don't recall if that raid was shown or not offhand.

SonicBOOM XS Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Um, I have a question.If I were to use a character from either The Kingdom or Dark Mirror (both were techinically in the MU, or in TK's case, from the MU), would that work? It would obviously have to tie in with that timeline, but at least I wouldn't have to worry about clashing with many established events. Undergoing Renovations...
