Cairn Destop: The Best Gift of All

Send the votes to me, so that when we reach the deadline, I will announce the winner.

[Rainshadow]

  Interesting idea.  Maybe the story could be about how the Redwallers spend the winter?  Maybe have a few main characters that narrate the story or something, talking about the things that everybeast does.

[Redwaller]

It's a contest!  Everybody makes his own short story! 

[Rainshadow]

  Hmm, well, when do you think it would start?  (No one steal my idea!  It's mine!  )

[cairn destop]

I have a winter themed story that is a part of my Vermin Badger series.  It is one-chapter and around 2K words.  If we have to announce our intention of entering this contest, consider it done.

My entry is entitled "The Greatest Gift" and will be released here on the 21st.

[Skyblade]

This is a great idea. Writing's not my strong point but I think I might participate.

[Redwaller]

Good! Now let's discuss on when to start it.

[Buckler The Leg Buckler]

I might join, too.

[cregga rose eyes]

I think I may join as well.

[cairn destop]

At least you know there will be one entry.  So now we need to have the rules clarified.

As to the how of the story, narration or character, that will be up to the author.  Both styles offer challenges.  I'm looking forward to seeing how a winter theme is handled by our members.

[BrookSkimmer]

Consider this otter joined in! 

[W0NWILL]

I'll join. I have a good idea, but someone else will probably do it. 'Cause it's a bit obvious.

EDIT: I'll just tell you. I'm doing a Redwall themed version of The Christmas Carol. Y'know, the one with the ghosts and Scrooge?

[cairn destop]

Could prove interesting.  Not asking for answers.  I'm curious to know who you have as Scrooge.  Vermin as the spirits?  Who said the winter contest had to be from the woodlander's viewpoint?  I've toyed with an all-vermin one.  Maybe next year. 

[Redwaller]

Cool idea! Never thought of that meself...

So, how is the judging gonna be done? Votes or judges?

[W0NWILL]

Eh, I just have an old mouse that works as a scribe. I didn't want him to be a vermin, because then people in the world would expect him to be a Scrooge.
