Everyday Object Writing Competition Announced!

[TequilaClock]

maybe we could give points per competition, per five points a pixel award
you could choose from different colours of ribbons, once you get enought points to spend.

Sounds kinda like the TIEM magazine awards were distributed but I would prefer to be handled as in Participation, 3rd, 2nd and 1st place.

My friend and I decided to do it in July because we'd have more time.

Heh, kinda like my first pre-Nanowrimo, where I did my own personal Nano a couple of months before the real thing so I could get my practice in. The story I wrote there ended up being the best one I've written so far, and the one I'm trying to edit to get it publishable, and I've participated in 3 Nanos since then.

Part of the appeal of Nano is the community, though. If you get the chance to do it during November sometime, try to, especially if you've got a local group that gets together and works on these things, because the support you get from so many other people working on it together is a huuuge motivator and helps you complete it easier.

Is there a page for the past winners stories? I wanna make sure I'm being original.

Some are posted in the literature section (I wish they all were, but not everyone has bothered to post them), but the easiest way to check out the old stories is to check the posts linked here, and in each of those posts I have links to the entries (the older competitions have the stories in the actual threads), plus it'll say who won what.

[OcarinaClock]

Entering dis.

[Snapple]

[Bigglesnoots]

I took the liberty of making it glow, though I don't know if it shows; I tried to be subtle. Like the CD07 award

[SwirlberryClock]

I guess I'll try my hand at writing.
