I could make a post about defending myself, and blah, blah, blah. But, really, I don't give a crap. So bye.

@KabenSaal

Man, there's being ungracious and then there's... That.

@Onarax

Always ready. Ever vigilant.

Personally, I'm under the opinion that while miscommunication always sucks for everyone involved, it's best to just put everyone's collective best foot forwards, congratulate the winners, and move on with more contests making sure to be as clear and open to questions as we progress.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

One question.

Does my entry have to be set in the present day or can it be in the future?

@Kaithas

Again, other than the parameters I have set, any other choice is yours to make. Though I do ask that if you plan on using someone else's character, get their permission prior.

I will say though, this is your canon version of your character in the RP.

@Write

Just in case anyone was thinking similar thoughts.

Cry for me!

Well I talked to Lug about it in PM's and was given the go ahead, can't wait to see everyone's entries for the next contest!

Heroes of Beacon - Contest of Champions

#19 - Challenge - Hello Darkness My Old Fried

Judge: Write
Type: Writing Assignment
Deadline: November 27

Okay, well folks I’ve had a great time reading over the IC, the CS’ but it’s time to spice it up. You’ve got two thousand words to sell me on your character’s death. I don’t care how you do it, but do know that cheesiness will be marked hard. I want to be shocked, thrilled, I wanna cry guys. So whether Bianca Nuit is going out in one last fight against the Grimm front or Estelle Nuit is sitting in a hospital room slowly dying while her friends do the former, make it good.

To be clear, I don’t want to laugh, barring a melancholic chuckle through some tears. Hit me up with your sad muscles, flex your drama guns. Above all else, I won’t consider entries that defy the word limit, you’ve been warned. Originality is what will win you first prize these next couple days, plan it out, use your words effectively and don’t give me any weird filler content. I’d rather get 300 awesome words than 1000 words that are misguided and off topic. So give me your best and I’ll do my best to grade it well. Looking forward to reading all of your entries.

Thusly consider the following points while crafting your entry:

Quality over Quantity (Though, hopefully both).
This piece should not be played for laughs.
Aim to make it impactful.
This is the character you play as in the RP, not the evil version or what have you. However, should you put your character further into their history by taking a glimpse to the future, they could have changed.
Originality in your death scene is key.
I'll give you a small bonus mark if you throw in some accompanying music.

I will be grading each entry using the letter grade system, the lowest mark you can get while still following all of the guidelines above would be a D-. I look forward to reading all of the entries!

I submitted some proof of concept to Lug for a contest idea, so hopefully that goes ever well, and then maybe we can either do my contest after yours or vice versa? Had the diea for it about two weeks ago I believe.
