First of all, I really want to help you all. I must mention that this is not exactly a contest, but feel free to see it that way. There will be no prizes. Your only prize will be broadening your horizons and exceeding your limits as a writer.
Imagination is the most important thing!
So, here’s the thing:
1) We’ll have a weekly theme, based on any subject, from nature to fantasy. Every Sunday it’ll be a new theme. Based on your stories, which will be between 4 and 8 pages, there’ll be a ranking based on: - theme, originality, the characteristics of the genre and others, there will be two departings, one made by you, the fans, and another made by us. In the end, the average between the two will be the mark. With those marks we’ll make up the ranking list.
2) We’ll have a monthly theme, based on something much more complex. This themes will be announced during the first three days of every month. The final results are done by the same rules.
3) The last category will be the anual theme. We’ll give you the theme and genre. You’ll have time to work on it 12 months starting with the date announcing the theme and genre. The final results and noting sistem will be much more complex.
I’m here for any question you may have.
Themes will be posted on 24.02.2013
