Time for a new contest!


Hey now! So what's the catch on this second go-around?

The theme: the theme of the competition is, can you keep a secret? All fanfic entries must have a secret that gets revealed in the story. It could be through dialogue, imagery, epiphany or more. If you incorporate that element into your story, then you qualify for the contest. The rest of the content is all up to you!

Length: Exactly as long as it needs to be to tell the story! But please keep it in the style of a one-shot (i.e. one entry or chapter). The entry can be an excerpt from an existing fanfic you wrote, so long as you find a way to incorporate the theme into it! You may also nominate other peoples' works that are on the forum!

Judging: Once more, it is yours truly! I'm just looking for a good yarn, but reach out via PM or comment below if you have specific questions!

Timeline: the competition begins as soon as you read this (i.e. right now!) and ends July 26th, or when it's deemed that all the forum members who'd like to participate have already submitted. Whichever comes first!

Prizes: This one will have a grand prize! Details are still being ironed out (hence the delay)

Most importantly, how to enter: to enter, just post your fanfic on the board and include [Tammo's Competition II] in the subject line. I'll come read it and let you know when I've finished!

That covers it! Get busy, and keep it a secret!

I'll certainly give this some consideration seeing as I'm trying to write a bit more again. :)

Oh. I thought we had to submit by the 30th... I must've read that wrong the first time. *Runs off in a panic to finish my one-shot*

(EDIT) @Captain Tammo when do you think the results will be posted?

@Sebias of Redwall  I'm late with the results - I thought I could get away with it and post before anyone noticed, but I should know better than to try sneaking around this attentive group of Redwallers  ;D that's not a bad thing - I'm glad you guys are excited.

That said, I'll finish the last couple reviews tonight ;D

Double-posting because I HAVE THE RESULTS!

We had a couple more entries this time around and I had a lot of fun reading through all of these. Vermin were much more prominent characters in this round, and it made for a fresh take on the themes from Redwall stories that we all know and love. I also noticed that there was quite a bit about royalty / nobility in this batch of stories. It was kind of neat seeing how you all approached stories with that central tie. Each one of you has a creative flair and style of note!

I highly suggest checking out each other's works. That's what this competition is all about: practicing writing and also engaging one another in the process and reading some fun stories! Here is the list of entries - in no particular order:

Excerpt from Sixclaw by @One-Eye the wildcat

     Take Your Place by @MathLuk

          Flames of Truth by @MathLuk

               Kingkiller Excerpt by @Jack the Quick

                    Black and White Drabbles II by @The Grey Coincidence

                         Prophecies and Warriors Excerpt by @Sebias of Redwall

I'll be going back through my notes and leaving reviews on all of your stories to talk about the things I liked - which there was a lot of! That will be happening over the next few days. But now it's time for the results! The top three finishers of the second fanfiction competition are:

Top Three


First place and winner of our medal for the second competition: Black and White Drabbles II by The Grey Coincidence!

Here's a medal for your signature, Grey! Congratulations (and a sincere thank you to our dear @Rosie Willowwater for designing this)!



Second place and third place go to Jack the Quick's Kingkiller Excerpt and Mathluk's Take Your Place, respectively. Well done you guys!
