    [WAR] Creative Writing


    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. :(

    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.
