[center][b]Writer of the Month #1 Combined Voting[/b][/center] Hello ladies and gentlemen of Roleplayer Guild, and welcome to the revival of the Writer of the Month contest. It's been a few months since the fall and return of the site, and now that things are feeling steady and stable once more we've decided the time is right for the contest to return. For those of you who spectated or participated in WOTM in the past, things will be somewhat different moving forward. We're lacking some convenient features that we took for granted on the old Guild, and we've changed some things to better suit the nature of the contest, but at the core it's still the same contest with the same goals run by the same people. More things will probably change as RPG sees further development, such as not hosting the contest on the Off-Topic board once we have a Contests section, but hopefully those things won't be too much of a disruption when they occur. Oh, and to those of you who are totally new to the Writer of the Month contest, hi there, feel free to submit an entry or watch from the sidelines and vote once the voting threads go up. "The more the merrier" most certainly applies to WOTM. There's one final thing to note before getting on with the Voting for this first month of the revived contest. If anyone has questions about the contest, be it about the rules or whatever else might come to mind, don't hesitate to post it in this thread or send a message to either the WOTM account (the conveniently named account that is posting this thread) or one of the contest managers: Brovo, Kaga, or Jorick. Odds are you'll see a quicker PM response if you send it to one of us directly, since we tend to only get on the WOTM account to check for new submissions or to post contest threads. And now, without further ado, on to the Voting. --- [b]Theme:[/b] Historical [b]Explained:[/b] A story set in a notable period of history (Crusades, Renaissance, Great Depression, etc) [b]Components:[/b] [*] One or more characters of the story are well-known historical figures.[/*][*] The protagonist is a civilian in a time or place of war.[/*][*] The story involves or focuses on a real, major event from history, either as it truly happened or as a fictional version of the event.[/*][*]The story involves a character traveling back in time to a historical period.[/*][*]The story is written in the form of diary or journal entries.[/*] --- [b]Rules/Instructions for Voting:[/b] [*]Follow the links provided to read each entry.[/*][*]Read ALL entries before voting.[/*][*]Please post in this thread and clearly state which entry you are voting for.[/*][*]You may only vote once.[/*][*]Do NOT vote for your own entry.[/*][*]Do NOT reveal which entry is your own prior to the end of the voting period.[/*][*]Do NOT ask other members to vote specifically for your entry, or solicit votes in any other way.
