Time for a new contest!
(https://i.imgur.com/oFgSsZw.png)
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!
Interesting, I'll try to write up an entry for this one.
Thank you, Captain!
Thanks Captain Tammo!
All hail TAMMO!
I'll certainly give this some consideration seeing as I'm trying to write a bit more again. :)
I'll give it a shot. Nothing to lose.
Same here.
It could be fun to try
Is posting more than one submission allowed?
Absolutely!
Did you guys hear the news?!
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:

Hehehe... wow... d-didn't expect that... Thanks Math and Tammo... wow...
Er...
@Keldor looks like Bork took the cake XD
Great job, Grey!
Er,
@Captain Tammo, does One-Eye's entry get second or mine? Because it says One-Eye's Kingkiller excerpt, but I wrote the Kingkiller Excerpt.
