[WAR] Creative Writing

[Dash]

http://i57.tinypic.com/1e5kir.png
Welcome to the WAR Creative Writing Section! Here, you'll be allowed show your imagination in any form of writing, such as poems, songs, and even the generic story. I'm your judge for this, and every week I'll be handing out a prompt which you must follow. Here are the rules, so let's get this show on the road.

Rules
1.) You must be a part of a WAR team to be in this (obviously!).
2.) The work must be original and made by YOU, and nobody else. It can be of any forme of writing.
3.) Keep the writings PG-13, and also have them follow the forum rules. This includes pornographic or sexual involvement.
4.) Entries must be related to the theme at hand.
5.) Please follow the PXR rules.

Entry Form
Every week, you'll need to submit your piece of content through Writer's Desk. From this, just know to name it your entry to, so that I can make sure it's yours. If you do not follow this, your entry MAY not be accepted.

Judging
For my judging, I'll be going by a 5x5 point system. I'll be judging based off 5 categories, and you'll get 1-5 points for each in that category. The person with the most points from these categories gets 1st place this week and 3 points for their team. Second place gets 2 points for their team. This can be changed every week, so try your best all the time! These are the categories:

Creativity - This goes off how original the work is and how it's presented.

Flow - This goes off how well the story stayed on that subject and how much it made sense with the subject also.

Appeal - This goes off with how well it would keep someone interested in the story, and if it would fit a certain audience.

Interaction - This goes off how well it pulls the reader into the story and tries to keep them feeling how the characters would feel in their situations. The true story here is how well you can keep someone not in the story like they are in it.

Grammar - This goes off how professional and correct the entry is.


This Week's Topic

Love
This week, you have make a story that has to do with love. The general Pokémon meets Pokémon? That's your choice. Maybe your story could be about Sonic the Hedgehog crashing a wedding party 7 times in one day. Maybe it could be about that non-existing shipping in your head of the 11th and 6th Doctor which isn't even canon. Whatever it may be, that's your choice!

How long do we have to enter? I'm about half-way done with my entry and I'm afraid I won't get it done in time. :(

[Dash]

Oh, sorry I forgot to add a date. You have until the 14th of July to get it done. I'll start judging and post results that day and the next prompt. Also, I'd like to put this as a note to anyone who's entering contests next week.

You can ask me to change prompts within the first day. This one was my choice as it had to deal with something VERY close to me. Please inform me next time if you don't agree with it. I don't want you not to join in because my prompts aren't something you like.

ENTRIES HAVE BEEN JUDGED

I would like to thank all the people who have joined this week. I had some excellent entries, and the results have been posted on the front page with the scores. The winners for this week are:

Grassy_Aggron of Team Awesome for First Place

and

Suicune's Fire for Second Place


The new theme shall be up as of some time tomorrow. If you want to suggest a theme, please feel welcome to. However, I won't promise that I'll do some of my own editing ;D

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Yay congrats guys! :D I just finished reading Grassy's story and it was definitely really good. And I am super curious about what Pokemon it was meant to be!

Would you mind posting the grading for the stories Lightning Dash? (Or PM me mine if you prefer?) I'm interested to see how I can improve for next week. :D

[Dash]

Pokemon Trainer Sarah

Yeah, sorry about that ._." I actually have a reason for this. Spoilers as of recently don't work for me and double or triple, breaking apart my posts, so I tried to make it less cramped and not put your personal scores. I'll put them here, since anyone can go and look at Grassy's and Flare's:

May I ask what grammar I failed with? Was it all the typos I made that people corrected? xD That's fair enough. I can never catch my own typos. :c ANYWAY, CONGRATULATIONS, GRASSY! Damn my typos though! XD

Can't wait for next/this week's. c:


~SF.

[Neo Emolga]

Yeah, I'll admit I kind of did mine in a rush. But thanks for taking it into consideration anyway.

[Grassy_Aggron]

Thanks guys. I think all of your entries are wonderful - I still have to read Tenacity and Neo's, but I'm sure I won't be disappointed - and I'm still surprised I won, considering I'm rather annoyed at how suddenly my story stops. Darn that Sudden Stop Syndrome, darn it all and back!

I can't wait for the new theme. If it's more flexible this time, we'll all be able to really show off what we can do~

[Voltaire Magneton]

I'll try to join sometime. When I find the theme good.

Also, I'll suggest that the next theme must have music as an inspiration. Something like that.

Also, congrats to the winner!

[Dash]

Sorry that I'm a bit late guys, and this'll be edited in. This is based off a song I heard recently and got addicted to the three part song series, and so it's what I'm going for. It's Japanese music so it might not make sense, but the theme is based off an emotion/feeling. So thanks to recommendations by you and Flare, the theme for this week is:



Pride
Pride, an emotion that can mean many things. Take whatever you want from it, but your story must include the sense of pride, whether it be negative or positive.

An example (and the song) that explains when you abuse your own pride:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYJATjB88lI




NOTE: You can ask for a subject change, and I'll change it if I get enough to ask. Enough would be 3 people. I don't care about changing it if you want me to.

[Voltaire Magneton]

What I meant was, take a song, then write a story for it. XD Perhaps that'd be a suggestion for next time (:

Anyways, my creative juices are quite starting to flow. Who knows.

[Suicune's Fire]

Lightning Dash, considering you were late (which I understand but it is the reason I'm asking xD) with posting the theme this week, can we get an extension if we don't finish our stories in time? o: Even if week 3 overlaps and begins normal time?


~SF.

[Dash]

It's pretty much the same, but since I was late, you'll guys will have till monday. I'll post judge results, and get the theme out. I don't want to be too delayed with the other contests, as that could be very negative on this :/

[Suicune's Fire]

Okay, that's fair enough, although I respectfully ask that you be on time next week just to give us all a fair amount of time. :] Seriously no rudeness or hostility intended - and I know life happens - but yeah, just a request. You've done well so far. :]

[Suicune's Fire]

Lightning Dash? Are we getting our theme yet? It's already Wednesday for me. =/

[Dash]

I'm sorry guys, I got in a depressed mood as of recent due to something relating with this and some other stuff going around, and I know I'm a day late and I apologize for that. You will get an early start for next week's theme, for now though let's just get to this one. First of all though, the judging.


Judging
So after going through the two entries I've received, I have scored them. The results give both team points, but here we go. The winner for first this week is

Grassy_Aggron from Team Awesome

with of course taking the place of second

Neo Emolga from Team Aqua.

You guys both wrote great stories, and I hope to see you in this theme. Speaking of theme, the theme this week is:

Nature
Bit cliche isn't it? Anyways, moving on, for this week you have to write a piece about ANY aspect of nature, whether it be from the water that flows through a stream, a simple flower going through growth, or a bird's view on the world from the height of a tree. Whatever you do and how you do it, is your choice.

[Suicune's Fire]

Congrats, Grassy! A victory yet again. xD

It's okay about life troubles. I'm sure we all understand; I'm glad to hear that we'll have a head-start next week.

So I'm wondering...what exactly does that theme have to say about pokemon? I suppose the pokemon could just be...out in nature? How much of the story needs to focus on nature? Or does it just have to include a scene or two in/around nature or something?

I asked LD this earlier and he said it doesn't have to be Pokemon related. We can incorporate them into the story as much as we want, but they don't have to be included at all.

And yeah, a head start on next week's theme would be helpful, especially since I have more computer-time during the weekends. It gives me a chance to work on a WAR submission when I'm not rushed/tired. c:

[Grassy_Aggron]

Aw, thank you Neo. I'm glad I can push you guys so hard with your writing <3 I love seeing all the effort!


Lightning Dash, when are these due? You didn't get it up until Wednesday, so :/

[Dash]

The entries will be due and judged on Tuesday (july 29th), and next week after I get the theme out this Saturday, you'll have until Monday (august 4th). These are all in my timezone, which is CST (GMT -6).

Alright guys, I'm going to have to inform you that judging will only be done sometime today, as I heard others were writing their stories, and I didn't want to cut them off. I'm sorry about not getting a theme out this weekend, as I was gone all weekend on a vacation trip. But for now, this week's theme:


Horror
For this week, I wanted to go a bit off...the track from the rest of the weeks. This week, you must make your story be well, a horror story. Creepypastas are also allowed and counted. It must have some sort of theme in horror incorporated, and must have some thought-provoking/scaring tactics to make it a successful story, like almost all have.

[3m0d0ll]

Horror..?

...

>:D My time to shine.

[Grassy_Aggron]

Hmmm, an area I don't have as much experience with. This will be an interesting challenge... I just have to be careful of going the gore route |D

[Dash]

Alright, judging has been finished! Just to say, it looks like our champion has been topped. You can always head to the first page for results as usual, but here you go. In first place we have

Lunar Latias with Resurgance

In second place we have,

Grassy_Aggron with Heart of a Storm


Congratulations to those two, and great job with all the stories this week guys! Entries are due on Sunday this time, as I need to keep up with the rest of the competitions in time. Sorry about this coming a bit late :<

[Chibi Altaria]

I won? Geez, did not expect that. xD Congrats for placing second, Grassy! And for everyone else who entered.

I'm not sure about this week's theme, though. I don't particularly like horror. I mean, I'm good with gore (like you, Grassy!), but I don't know if that's wise in a forum of young people. x:

[Grassy_Aggron]

I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME GADGET! *Angry fist*

Ha ha, congrats Gemma~ And uh...Spoilers? Red text? Everywhere? Maybe? XD I mean that WOULD be a considerable amount of warning ^^'

Fair enough. I mean we could say we warned them. XD LOOK AT ALL THOSE SPOILER ALERTS.

I think I have a good story idea, we'll see if I can get a chance to write it.

CONGRATULATIONS, GEMMA! 8D Team Aqua ftw! Good going, Grassy. x) I WILL READ ALL THESE ENTRIES ONE DAY. xD

Okay guys, this is the time for me to say I'm really freaking sorry. I've been dumb and hadn't gotten out results yet when i wanted to today (I wasn't expecting more stories yesterday, so I'm glad I had only gotten through half of the stories), but I got held up by stupid stuff again. I apologize. But for now, the judging results. The winner this week is...


3m0d0ll with Bug Bite

and in second place...

a tie between Grassy_Aggron with Graveyard Shift and Neo Emolga with Kalma.

I'm glad for the participation, and for the theme this week:

Love
This week, you have make a story that has to do with love. The general Pokémon meets Pokémon? That's your choice. Maybe your story could be about Sonic the Hedgehog crashing a wedding party 7 times in one day. Maybe it could be about that non-existing shipping in your head of the 11th and 6th Doctor which isn't even canon. Whatever it may be, that's your choice!

'Grats, winners! GO TEAM AQUA!

Love? =/ xD Okay then. I kind of think that's a lame theme but you're the judge. x) I know I say this every week but...maybe I'll get an entry in this time. xD

A boring theme, sure, but I'm bored and want to see love get crushed. Like I said, it doesn't even have to be related to the main character loving someone else. They could just be messing with marriage, or have to listen to a friend talk about their crushes. It doesn't have to relate directly to love, and I think that can provide an interesting concept around.

Besides, I'm insane

XDDD This is the best reason for a theme ever. Okay, I approve. xD I think the only time I've ever written about love was when I was, like, 13, and I wrote Sonic fanfiction involving some pairings I liked. XD But they were comedy focused. Me oh my those stories amuse me.

[XaiakuX]

I don't think it's lame. This is going to be good.


... Really good.

[3m0d0ll]

WOW, I WON. :'D I chugged the whole story out in a few hours so I'm happy to even place this week, let alone win. Congrats to fellow Pirate Neo and rival Cami. ;u;

One thing I like about these themes is that, yeah, they're vague, but that just gives you more creative room. :3 The more open-ended the theme is, the more control you have over where your story can go. I probably won't submit something this week, but ya never know!

[Chibi Altaria]

Love, huh? *punches fist into hand*

I just love crushing love.

[Suicune's Fire]

YES. XD THIS. And fantastic job, 3m0d0ll. :3 WE HAVE TO BAND TOGETHER AND SMASH THIS WEEK, TEAM AQUA!!!!

Congrats Jenn~ And of course to the others, as well as Neo. I'm surprised I won anything, considering I don't really write horror XD


Love, eh? Hmmmmmm. I must sit and plot...

Mostly not expecting to win. Like really, I'll be surprised if this won. Also, I'll let the other Team Trainers go and grab the creative bacon (i used that wrong, right)!

0/25 for no crushing love into a bloody pile.

I mean I can't wait to read your story! By the way guys, judging is tomorrow so once the results are out, no more entries can come back in. It'll be around night time as I will be out of town for some shopping for most of the day.

[Suicune's Fire]

So does that give us about 24 hours to get in an entry? Stupid timezones...lol.


~SF.

[Grassy_Aggron]

More or less, it seems, Xanthe. XD Tomorrow would be Sunday for me, and "night" would be...well, now. So it might not be 24 hours but you have a definite 12 hours+. I'm sure Lightning Dash will put up a warning that judging is about to start.

...I think. Maybe. IF WE BEG REALLY HARD AND BAKE COOKIES.

I could always change the ending to something supremely depressing...

I'm ashamed to say that I won't have anything in on time...again. I can't believe I only got ONE entry into this entire five weeks. .__. Ugh. This weekend was the worst time to try to write though; I had a lot going on.

Good luck to everyone! Sorry I'm a failure for my team. x__x

NU YOU NO FAIL. D: *hug*

I know there's a lot going on in everyone's lives, so it's okay you didn't get an entry in! I got one in on your behalf (finally), so I'll be the representative for Aqua this week. C':

[Dash]

Just so everyone knows (as of Grassy's request), judging has started now.

AKA "if you crud isn't in, GET IT IN."

Also, everyone, thank me for my foresight. Say "Grassy you are so awesome, thank you for making that request!" and shower me with chocolate. I DEMAND IT.


(Thanks HD)

Don't feel bad, I didn't get anything in this week either. I had my entry about 1 & 1/2 pages done but yeah, it definitely wasn't complete and I hit a bad case of Writer's Block with it.

It's very hard to come up with entries in only a week's worth of time. Don't ever feel guilty about it, most people are lucky if they can submit anything to two sections or more.

[Dash]

Oh Grassy, as if I could ignore just ignore the fact that i poisoned the chocolate and enjoy it.

Anyways, judging is now finished for the final week!

In first place this week, we have an upset:

Grassy_Aggron with Sebastian for Team Awesome.

In second place, we have another tie, this time between:

XaiakuX with Heartbroken and Lunar Latias with Impressions.

Thanks for the great participation guys, and everything will be sorted out tomorrow morning with all 3 of the posts, so you can look over everything then. Great job all, and good night.

[XaiakuX]

Well done, Cami! You have done Team Awesome proud. =]

Also ,how did I even kinda tie with Gemma? I was under the impression that I'd be getting owned this week. .__.;

[Chibi Altaria]

I don't even care that Grassy beat me, my story was awesome. xD Plus I was trying out a new style. /yays

Congrats, guys.

[Dash]

Since I haven't gotten the judging results for scores on the front page yet, I'll just say them here for you XaiakuX

Your score: 24/25
Latia's score: 24/25
Grassy's Score: 25/25

You'll see why later, but for now this is how it is. To let you know Kun, I liked your poem a lot, and it impressed me fairly well. Never doubt yourself when writing, anything can happen :3

[Grassy_Aggron]

I'm happy I won, but not for the points. I was able to get my love across for my cat and I'm proud of that fact <3 I wear the title of Crazy Cat Lady, and I wear it proudly.

Congrats Xai, Gemma~ And everyone else who entered. I need to get back to reading all the entries, but you guys are all tough competition <3



In the meantime, this chocolate tastes kind of fUnNY...*Thud*
