THE ULTIMATE STORY-TELLING WARS!

Welcome to the super-awesome contest of Story-Telling Wars! I am your host, BLABLOB!

For the next month, we shall see who truly is the best story-maker on Runouw.com. A lot of changes have been made since last time. In fact, almost everything is different!

So, let me tell you how this works. Every season, a particular theme is chosen. The users--any person, of any gendor, of any age--may submit a story relating to that theme. The story can be of any length. Here are the rules:

  • Only 1 story per entry. If you have multiple parts to a story, put it all in one post.
  • No cussing or otherwise inappropriate material in the story.
  • Any person--including judges--may submit a story.
  • No story is accepted after the deadline.

There is a certain format to how a judge should rate a story, as follows:

~10 points: INTEREST

Exactly how much did the story grab your attention? Was it interesting? Did you like the mood?

~5 points: GRAMMAR

Just as it sounds. Does the story feel rushed with a lot of grammar mistakes? Or does it look perfect? That's what this category is for.

~5 points: OTHER

This is different than the other 2 categories. You start at 3 points, and add 1 or subtract one for every thing you like or dislike. The max amount of points you can have is 5, and the minimum is 0.


The sum of all these scores is your final score out of 20.

This season's theme: MARIO!

Tell us a good ol' story about the fat plumber's adventures.

Deadline: July 7th

I'm sure it won't take you a month anyway to write up a story, but whatever.

Judges:

  • 1. Blablob
  • 2. MessengerOfYahweh
  • 3. Super-Spongerific



OKAY, PEOPLE! GO GO GO!!!

It may not be tomorrow. It will be whenever we can get all the players in.
