Elftown Prose Contest - Fairy tales

2006-01-03 [TheRogue]: *sigh* I totally missed the mark with mine, methinks...

2006-01-03 [ACCOUNT DELETED.]: I don't think you did; 'twas a good read!

2006-01-03 [ACCOUNT DELETED.]: Quick note; i changed my name from 'She Used To Be A BigSHOT' to 'Of Avalon'; so no one is stealing my work, i just changed the name.

2006-01-03 [Ocean Soul]: Well, your name is still there next to your entry, right. That's why the writing-username-between-[] is so important ^_^

2006-01-04 [ACCOUNT DELETED.]: heh, true.

2006-01-05 [-Shadow-Nell-]: Puf, it's tough to write a story in only 2000 words, I tend to like to flesh things out. Too much so. Ah well, this will be good practice for me then.

2006-01-05 [Melocrie]: It is quite possible. You see, the thing is, in entire novels many, many details are written. Mostly, in a classic fairy tale there are no detials. That saves a lot of space^^

2006-01-05 [Asryth]: I just read the other entries, and some names and descriptions in mine are similar to TheRogue's entry. Should I post as is, and allow you (the judges) to decide if it needs changing? Or should I just change it? I will post what I have so far, with a date on it. Please let me know. I don't want to be thought a story thief. Thanks.

2006-01-05 [shotokan_gal]: After looking at both I think they seem fine as they are :) Unless either you or TheRogue wish to change aspects of this nature of your own accords. It's not the names which fully make a story anyway (unless they have particular significance).

2006-01-06 [EmeraldGrizzly]: We can keep working on our stories till the deadline, even if we've already entered them, right?

2006-01-06 [Lizisthebest]: hey can I join in on this....I don't feel like entering a story because this is prose and everything that isn't really short for me is a short story....and thats not prose.....but yea can I join?

2006-01-06 [shotokan_gal]: 1st question - yes. Any changes made after midnight (elftown time) on the deadline will not be counted though. [Lizisthebest] - anyone may enter as long as they follow all the rules.

2006-01-07 [Lizisthebest]: ok sounds good to me

2006-01-07 [EmeraldGrizzly]: Thank you much *bows in respect*

2006-01-11 [thoughtfox]: Does the 1-entry only rule from the last competition still count? Or can we enter more than once?

2006-01-11 [shotokan_gal]: Still just one entry please :) Although you may change it if you feel you've written a better one.

2006-01-15 [shotokan_gal]: [*Night_Shade*] as you've been given long enough since realising the rules to replace or change your entry in some way, I'm removing it from this page for now. Feel free to still enter if you create something following the theme.

2006-01-15 [MidSuMMer.Nights]: does the story have to be absolutly finished? or can you leave it to the imagination?

2006-01-15 [shotokan_gal]: Entries with a slightly 'open end' are to be allowed, as long as that's actually meant to be the end of the story. Ones such as these will most probably be checked with the participants in question at the end of the contest whether they've actually completed their entry or not. As incomplete entries will not be judged, but if you meant for that to be the end, it's something different (although we will also use common sense to try and avoid liars in this respect).

2006-01-15 [MidSuMMer.Nights]: ok, i just wasn't sure... i've finished mine yey!.. adding now...

2006-01-16 [RiddleRose]: hmmm... perhaps i will join! if i have time that is... >.<
