Announcing the WoTW August competition;
Boss Pole MonthThis competition will be a writing competition. You will write a fluff/fiction piece about how your boss, mek, or nob, got his boss pole. What is on the boss pole, how it got there, what it means to the boys that the boss/mek/nob leads. How he found the stuff that got on there, and so on.
A Picture of the model would be great at the end of the article (not required, but if you have one, please do).
Tell a good story about the boss/mek/nob and how he became a boss/mek/nob and how, when, where, why, what he did to earn him a boss pole (i.e. how he came to power). Make sure to include details about what his boss pole looks like as mentioned in the first paragraph. A minimum of 500 words and a maximum of 5000 words. Remember; this is a fluff piece and not a full novel.
The competition will run until the end of the month, and I am recruiting judges as we speak. At the end of the month the judges will vote on who has the best story and the winners will be announced.
Also,
and this is important, to be judged as part of your fluff, will be your spelling and grammar, if it is hard to read then it will be hard to get a good vote from the judges. If you don’t have a spell checker in a word processing program then at least use the spell checker in the forum when you copy/paste the words into your reply, but before you post it.
Poorly written stories will be shunned. Try to minimize ork speak, use it only when “quoting” what the hero of you story actually says. If you don’t know how to use a spell checker then at least have someone else read the piece before you post it.
To sum up:
First, post a reply here that you are entering the Boss Pole Competition.
Second, post your work in the fiction forum. There is a thread in the fluff forum for this; you can find it
HERE Third, when you post your story, you
post it there, and then put a
link to it here. That way we know to go looking for it.
I look forward to all the good stories we are about to read
Winners: top prize is 15 teef, second is 10, and third is 5. Honorable mentions 3, and if the judges think your work was just too good, then some bonus teef will be awarded as well.
