MagiStream's Legend Writing Contest

Post by Madd »

Edit: No entries after noon tomorrow (eastern time) will be accepted. Finish up quick!

The opportunity has arisen for you to contribute in MagiStream's growth and continued originality. This Competition is for you to create some of the story behind this site, helping shape this unique world.

We invite you to write legends, tales of mythical origins, that have occurred somewhere in the past of MagiStream. The most fitting stories will be featured in a new, exciting way. We are looking for pieces that seem like the high tales of today; Japanese and Greek myths - whatever beautiful stories you can create.

There is no word count, but your story should be at least a paragraph long. The contest will end in about a week.

The following places are where these fantastic legends may take place:

~ Tundra
~ Pleasant place by a Lake
~ Warm Tropical Area
~ Desert
~ Mountain Range
~ Thick Forest
~ Island Chain
~ Jungle
~ Ocean

We will select 10 stories or more.

The winners of this contest will receive:

1st place: 5 crystal shards
2nd place: 2 crystal shards
All other chosen will receive 10,000 gold

We are looking forward to reading your submissions. Please post them in the "Competition Entries" forum. Material outside this forum will be disregarded.

Many thanks,
The MagiStream Team

Cool!
I'm going to write an Ah-ma-zing legend for this contest :t-woo:

First I'll write it in Polish & translate it into english as best as I can :t-ninja:

I have one question about the contest - how much time do we have to write the stories? :t-woo:

I second Martarlz's question and I have a few of my own: Is there a maximum or minimum word count for the legends we write? Are we allowed to include humans/magi or should we just use the creatures? Can we include creatures or races (elves, dwarves, etc.) that haven't been found on the site/mentioned in the creature descriptions? How many legends can we submit?

EDIT: Will you please un-hide your creatures so we can see the descriptions for all stages of all of the creatures or at least post all of the descriptions somewhere on the site for the duration of the contest? (Asking this because I don't want to accidentally write something that conflicts with the official descriptions.)
Ashmaly solved that one, but the rest of my questions still stand.

For the descriptions for all the stages of the creatures check out my site *points to simple text link to Magistream Sanctuary* I have all the descriptions for every stage of creature that has been released to the site.

More on topic though I'm looking forward to this. ^.^ It's been a while since I've done myth or legend writing but this should be a lot of fun to enter.
