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.

Quote: We should make this a thing for every holiday mabey lol, like, one in the summer, christmas time and easter!!! I agree with Mindrith. Should this prove a sucess then i would love to see more of these in the future, they give an incentive to us lazy (but creative) bums to write in our spare time _______________ To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield | Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken | Rhaiko D'kana - SWTOR EU Guild Co-Founder | Is it what the teacher, teaches?

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... |

Quote: What size should we aim for? How many words? I won't set a size to aim for, but a limit. The limit is about 5 pages but i guess 1-2 pages would make a good length to aim for.
