This isn't an official topic for this (I'll post an official one if I decide to set this up) but I thought it would be neat to have a writing tournament/competition! I'd need some help with it, though, like I was thinking prizes could possibly be artwork anyone would be willing to do for whoever won and maybe 2nd, 3rd place...dunno
Anyway, the idea was that there would be brackets, and so two writers would write stories/poems that would face off against each other. And the community would vote on which one they liked. I'd probably do a story bracket and a poem bracket. The voting process would most likely be silent (e-mailing or IMing me your votes) so there wouldn't be any hard feelings toward anyone. And then it would continue until there were two or three writers left in each bracket.
It was a thought to promote more writing for this community, but I don't know if I plan to set it up or not. I don't want anyone's feelings hurt if they got eliminated, but then again it IS a competition *shrug*. I don't know if I would participate in it myself either, which I would love to but I'd be afraid that anyone would that was unfair, which isn't my plan at all. It is just supposed to be for fun and for the community to get some creative writing done.
Anyone interested, or do you think this is too risky/complicated?

I like this idea! Would we
I considered that, maybe
I also was thinking that maybe everyone who participates gets a prize, so that way even if they were eliminated from the competition, they get something out of it. I'd need a lot of help with the prizes since I can't make artwork, that's the downside of this...
I think a theme would be
Alright, well maybe we could
I could volunteer to do prize

I love this idea as well!
Will there be a word limit?
No there wouldn't be a word
Could I create this post
Please tell me your "______ From TEF" In your email. I can add you as friend to Im you. I would also like to submit a piece. Anyone have a nice piece of CSS I can use? I was thinking a spring theme, fawns, flowers, ect. ^^ Can the CSS also be interchangeable? ^^

Boy you want more?
This is so like you I said
Put yourself on back to bed †
Alpha - I appreciate the
Also I wanted to mention that this won't start for a while since I still could use some more artists to do prizes, as well as I won't be here for a week due to Spring Break
Lastly, I've decided the way we're going to do 'themes' - we'll come up with 20 random themes and then I'll roll a 20-sided die to determine what the theme will be. I've come up with a few already so any ideas are great and will most likely be added to the list.
I like this idea of yours, it
But as for the themes for the poems/stories perhaps you could add the seasons there. Write a deer's thought's about spring or fall or something like that. Perhaps a situation that could or couldn't happen, a meeting with a wolf? the deer's feelings on that. or a deer dreaming of something, flying, swimming?
Or perhaps a meeting with one of the twin gods?
That's what I was worried
And thanks for the suggestions, I'll toss them up now.
Deer expressions; Joy,
Could I help make a few prizes? Drawings, maybe badges? ^^ This could happen once a year?

I added the new subjects,
Also I hope you guys don't mind waiting a couple of months for this to start. I think I want to start it around May, hopefully so everyone will have more time to write their stories during the summer. Maybe sometime before then I'll make an official page so we can get sign-ups and all.
Lastly, I've decided that I will not participate in the competition, but I WILL write a story for each round, so I'll get to have my fun. My stories won't be voted on, they will be independent of the competition.
I like this idea, supporting
And maybe you can put in som subjects that are non-TEF? Just suggesting c:
Mhmm, maybe the last 5 will
Trying to think of a good name for this contest. I'm also going to attempt to make a banner for it, hehe...
*opens up Windows Paint*
Crappy art skills ahoy. Oh
Crappy art skills ahoy. Oh well, worth a shot I guess.
That's actually really cool.
Ah you have a point, let me
How's this?
Maybe I'll draw the full quill, too...
That's cool. =D
The last one is awesome
Oh and, how about
- Write a story about your pet/pets.
Oh I'm totally adding that
Haha, I guess I'm really not as bad of an artist as I always think. I moused that on Paint in about 10 minutes pretty easily. Maybe I'll try some other drawings in that style, it was pretty fun to do.
8D - Write a story about
- Write a story about your best friend/friends.
- Write a story about an animal.
How do they sound?
