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. Sir Mic of Nippledom! Proudly beating Wang, since '07. (Crackdown) This post was edited by Mic Den Octela on Sep 18 2006 01:50am. |

Quote: Bah, I want a prize. Don't expect a prize just yet. There very well might be a prize, it all depends on my/jaikos fundage. So i'm not 100% on whether or not there will be a prize. I'll let you know soon. _______________ -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: Doing one of these every season and holiday would mean a LOT of marking! If this kicks off this time, i'll do one twice a year. Yes, Mini has a point here, we have several members of 'Staff' here at TJA, and many other students who would be willing to help out (see Calender Project) so if this proves a sucess i really think it would be nice to see it continue regularly. As to wether every holiday, that does not have to be all important, but would be interesting as you could set season specific challenges or guidelines (e.g write a story about christmas, be it based at TJA or in real life etc.) just me 99p The reason I'm heading and seeing everything through myself this time is so that I can see if it is at all worth doing regularly. Like I said, if it gets going then I'll employ the help of some other Staff. Right now it's not a priorty! I have taken into consideration the assisstance I'm able to receive from other JAK+. Setementor is helping me currently and I'll be acquiring the help of a few others if the marking gets hectic!EDIT: Yeah, it would be nice to have themed competitions. We'll see! lol, i see your point,.. but still, i must say, alex had a good point when he said things like this makes us lazy bum creative writers .. well, write! would be fantastic , but if it would take too much of your time, thats not fair  edit: + you'll have me writing one next time ^^! _______________ [proud owner of talions 200th, 700th,1111th coment AND 1400th , DJK's 3001th coment! , saz's 400th coment! liso's 800th coment!

Huh. So do I actually have to write a story for this, or can I just send you an older story of mine? 'Cause I have one short story in particular I consider my best short story ever, and I wouldn't want to send less than my best, but I'm wondering at my ability to top said best with only a couple of weeks to work in. _______________ Well then. Just so you know, just because I don't post often doesn't mean I don't lurk this place multiple times every day... |
