Fantasy Contest

2004-08-13 [Khayman]: mmm, there's no deadline yet. Ask chaika to see if she has something in mind, but I haven't heard anything yet.

2004-08-13 [chaika]: I don't have anything in mind, yet. lol. 

2004-08-13 [Kememmótar]: why does it indicate that my name doesnt work?

2004-08-13 [chaika]: Don't ask me, I tried to figure it out.

2004-08-13 [Kememmótar]: Ha i fixed! Nobody move dont touch anything!

2004-08-18 [Khayman]: lol

2004-08-18 [Kememmótar]: so.. You are going to go through and read all of the entries first.. hmm that may take a while. ^_^

2004-08-18 [chaika]: Wow, I didn't think this many people was going to enter. I must hurry and place a deadline soon. :)

2004-08-18 [Khayman]: :D deadline! hehe, yep, will prolly take quite a while, with so many entries... handful of new ones on Writing Help-Submissions as well that I have to go read *sigh* bleh...

2004-08-25 [Ath3na]: Hi. I think i need some help entering. can I get a step by step description of what i'm suposed to do? thanks in anticipation.

2004-08-25 [chaika]: Oh...do you not know how to make a wiki?

2004-08-25 [Ath3na]: I run one but I don't make'em. :( nevermind... I don't think I'll win anything with my stories anyway.

2004-08-26 [Khayman]: oh no you don't!!! hey, we don't *quite* enter to win (although there is always the hope, but I've never won with one of mine...). A big part of entering the contests is to get your work *out there* for other people to read. Not only do the judges read it, but often (usually I think) fellow participants will read the other stories. As for the wiki page, do you already have story saved on word or somewhere? or do you plan on typing it directly to a wiki? (if it's already saved, it will be easier to make the page). well, whichever it is... : in the box "go to wiki-page" on the right of the screen, type in the title of your story. If it comes up saying "this is an empty page," you're good to go

2004-08-26 [Khayman]: (if not, you'll have to come up with new names for the page until you get an empty one). then, click edit this wiki page. If your story is saved somewhere else, you can cut and paste it from where it is saved directly into the text box. If not, that is where you will type the story. Make sure to fix paragraphs (usually by spacing between them) as often elftown gets rid of indents. Also, if you have any italicized words, you type < i >*Text Here* < / i> without the spaces inside of the < >. for bold words, < b >*text* </ b >. not sure if < u>*text*< /u > works for underline... Then, once your story is typed/pasted and fixed up, to link to it you just post this wherever you want to place the

2004-08-26 [Khayman]: link: [ *Title here* @ wiki ] (without the spaces). It is the same as linking to a person's house (ex: [Khayman] ) except putting @wiki after your name but before the ] . If you have any other questions on it, feel free to ask!

2004-08-26 [chaika]: You go girl! ^^ lol

2004-08-26 [Khayman]: :p everyone always told me not to feel like I wasn't good enough to enter things, and finally I listened, and it made a big difference. So, thought I'd pass the word on ^^

2004-08-26 [Ath3na]: Well here I go! :) read on.

2004-10-02 [nunt]: oooh, very interesting... I think I might post a story... or a picture... maybe both... Is that allowed?

2004-10-03 [Kememmótar]: deadline should be sooner ? im getting bored watching this page

2004-10-03 [chaika]: No pictures are going to be part of the contest. And [Kememmótar], you can stop watching until the contest deadline or you can have me message you so that you won't get 'bored' watching. ^^ I might move the deadline up if everyone wants me to...Anyone???
