I'm ending the competition 40 minutes early because I won't be here tomorrow. This is the poll as it last was. As you can see Emm Son Margil is the winner! So everyone go give her a big hand.  Congratulations Emm, you've been awarded The Jedi Academy's Uber Oh My Gawd That Story Was Da Shizzle award. Now of course the prize is still uncertain. I have to get in touch with Jaiko before I can accertain whether or not you actually get any shinies. Well done to all our entries, all of them were a good read and personally I think "Losses" deserved more votes than it got. I'll be holding another one this Christmas with a, you guessed it, Christmas theme! Get thinking now so that you're ready for the competition. Next time you will only get a week. Just in case you were wondering, here are the links to the stories in case you missed them and still want a read. Entries: Emm Son Margil's "Remember" Methos' "Losses" ShadowKnight's "The Sanctuary" Stig's "The Academy Tribute" Trooper's "The Prodigious Apprentice" _______________ -Padawan of Virtue -Brother of Menaxia, *|irael, Krynn Adept, Majno, Ris Win Juljul, DaMi3N, Beowulf, Dash Starlight, Carrock and Yuken Zalak Bartender at Munes bar.

Argh. The story I was trying to write is less of a short story and more of a "damn- this is getting long" story. Its to the point that the main action of the story hasn't been explained, and it still took a while to write... (I don't know how many pages, seeing-as it was in a text-editor I wrote it in). Gah.

Quote: Is it ok if we send in stories we've already written? Yeah. It's fine. But it kinda takes away the fun of a creative competition like this. Then again, it is a story competition and not a writing competition. _______________ -Padawan of Virtue -Brother of Menaxia, *|irael, Krynn Adept, Majno, Ris Win Juljul, DaMi3N, Beowulf, Dash Starlight, Carrock and Yuken Zalak Bartender at Munes bar.

Quote: Okay, you've said no more than five pages with 12ish pt. font, but what about spacing? Do you want them single or double spaced? It makes a big difference, you know. Single spaced, five pages is about two-and-two-thirds thousand words. Double spaced, it's only a little more than one thousand. Standard line spacing is fine. There's no use in making your work look like it's 700 pages when your story will only be chosen if it's a good story. Remember its quality not quantity. So spacing and number of pages don't really matter. It can be ten pages if you really want, in font size 2! Good luck, i hope its a good 'un! _______________ -Padawan of Virtue -Brother of Menaxia, *|irael, Krynn Adept, Majno, Ris Win Juljul, DaMi3N, Beowulf, Dash Starlight, Carrock and Yuken Zalak Bartender at Munes bar.
