Haven't figured out how to make the link.  For some reason, the header section doesn't show the computerize gibberish you have to copy for the link.  So two questions before I commit to the contest:

1 ---- What type of stories is eligible?  (true to canon or tweaked)

2 ---- Preferred, or maximum word count

Title: Re: Fan Fiction Contest
Post by: AbbotAlf0805 on July 03, 2012, 02:41:16 PM
1------- any Redwall kind one.

2------- i don't care
Title: Re: Fan Fiction Contest
Post by: cairn destop on July 03, 2012, 02:50:14 PM
Well, if that is the case, I'll submit my second Vermin Badger story.  I'll be posting the first chapter in September.  (45 chapters at three chapters a week, total word count is 104K, final chapter should go up before the holidays.)


Title:  Price of Defeat.

If you figure out how to do links, let me know.  All I get is the main page address, regardless of where I am on the site.

That's because you're still in the frames of the original website. You have to open the link in a new tab to see the direct address. To do this, middle click on the link or right-click and "open in new tab".
Title: Re: Fan Fiction Contest
Post by: Skyblade on July 04, 2012, 11:35:44 AM
Um.....ok, thanks, but until I comprehend what you two just said I'll just let you know that the fanfiction is called The DST Team and is under construction

EDIT:I changed the name to thunder's roar, and I know Thunder's not a lion
Title: Re: Fan Fiction Contest
Post by: MatthiasMan on July 04, 2012, 02:57:06 PM
So I post the link to my fanfic? K, I'll do it as soon as I get home from Cincinnati. Can you save a space for me? I'm going back tomorrow so I'll try to get The Maiden's Trial in.
Title: Re: Fan Fiction Contest
Post by: AbbotAlf0805 on July 04, 2012, 06:06:08 PM

Title: Re: Fan Fiction Contest
Post by: Griffen on July 04, 2012, 06:27:08 PM
is there a prize? or is it just to see who like who's the best?
Title: Re: Fan Fiction Contest
Post by: AbbotAlf0805 on July 04, 2012, 06:28:24 PM
The winner is granted the title of best fan author.
Title: Re: Fan Fiction Contest
Post by: Leatho Shellhound on July 04, 2012, 11:59:51 PM
Yes when you make the poll, close it after about 20 or more voters have voted.
Title: Re: Fan Fiction Contest
Post by: W0NWILL on July 05, 2012, 01:28:40 AM
You should set a number, so only twenty-five or so people vote, otherwise you might wait until your fanfiction has the most votes. (I am not a trusting person)
Title: Re: Fan Fiction Contest
Post by: AbbotAlf0805 on July 05, 2012, 01:43:26 AM

haha i can tell, but Abbotalf0805, just set the poll for seven days (one week). and that can tell you who the most popular fan-fic writer is of the "summer of renewed hopes". ;)
Title: Re: Fan Fiction Contest
Post by: Skyblade on July 05, 2012, 02:15:54 AM
I hope I can get my fanfiction done in time! If not, I suppose you can just vote based on what I already have, but the ending's the best part.
Title: Re: Fan Fiction Contest
Post by: cairn destop on July 05, 2012, 05:31:30 AM
So what is the voting time frame?  I might have to withdraw the proposed story and go with the one already posted.
Title: Re: Fan Fiction Contest

Title: Re: Fan Fiction Contest
Post by: cairn destop on July 06, 2012, 04:03:08 AM
I'll have to withdraw the proffered story as it will most likely start after voting begins.  However, I'm still going to be in the contest.  Just change the entry to "A Change of Habits."

PS:   HERE  (http://redwallabbey.com/forum/index.php?topic=2115.msg78388#msg78388)

Here's hoping it worked.  No idea how to reduce this to a simple "here," even after reading the HTML tutorial.
