Just gonna plug this here for anyone interested:

For countless seasons, the town of Yew has lived in peace and prosperity. Nestled just below the southern foothills of the mountains north of the fabled Redwall Abbey, Yew stands as one of the last havens before Mossflower Country fades into the wild and lawless Northlands. The northern mountains have generally done their part in restraining the tide of wickedness threatening to spill into Mossflower.

However, several seasons ago, as if from nowhere, a mysterious settlement sprang up on the northern side of the mountains. Nobeast knew much of it, but then a name surfaced: Carrigul. It was a name borne over the mountain range upon the lips of terrified travelers, a name not spoken but whispered, as if in fear it might perhaps answer back.

Carrigul. Once a small settlement, but now rumored to be growing, spreading, plague-like. The tides may soon be turning for all of Mossflower.

Mossflower Odyssey (http://redwallsurvivor.com/forums/index.php) is the latest Redwall Survivor Contest!

Applications due May 31st. Contest rules can be read here: http://redwallsurvivor.com/forums/index.php?topic=636.0

What are these contests?
Based roughly after the Survivor television show and set in the Redwall universe, these contests involve writing a story together with the other contestants. Contestants apply by writing a short scene showcasing their character, and are then selected either by judges, the audience, or a combination of both. Each week, the audience votes for their least favorite character, and the one with the most votes is eliminated from the story, usually with the writer killing off their character. Once the playing field has been narrowed to a small handful of contestants (usually about three), a winner is chosen by the audience, and the story concludes.

This is a pretty hefty contest but some of you guys could do well in it!

That sounds awesome, but if this tournament has taught me anything it's that I really don't have time for roleplaying.  If any of you do join, let me know!

[BrookSkimmer]

I just sent in my app today for the previously mentioned tournament! I'm excited, I hope I make it in!

[Romsca]

Do you have any idea how long it will take to complete the tournament (that you just mentioned)? It doesn't look too time-consuming, and I won't be nearly as busy during the summer, but I don't want to commit to something I don't have time for. (Heck, I barely have time for this!!)

Ditto.

[BrookSkimmer]

I know it's pretty intense when it's actually running. It usually takes about a month and a half to complete if you stay in for multiple round. Not so long if you get voted out in the first couple of weeks.

[Romsca]

When will it officially start? (After the apps have been submitted and all)

[Dannflower Reguba]

I just have to ask.... How int the world do you guys find so much to post about!? I stress my brain just posting those little blurbs! What are you posting about!? It's almost freaky! 

[Icefire]

EVERYBODY!!!!! How interested are you in making a soundtrack for this rpg? Most of you have sent in character themes, but very few of you have shown interest in adding music to the rest of the story. Are any of you interested or should we just do thecharacter themes and call it good?

  Whoa, I'd forgotten about that!  I was so busy trying to think of stuff to post in the duel.    Umm...  Well, we could have songs describing each of the duels as well.  That'd be cool!  Like, each song describes the type of battle?  Haha, Spera and Hooktail would have an odd theme, probably. 

[Tam and Martin]

That would be a neat idea!

[Dannflower Reguba]

I'll have input.  More of the giving my opinion on what's opted for rather than for the music itself though.

[Icefire]

Another idea! Would you guys like to choose a song or three for each round (or rather each thread in the round. For example, 3 songs for the spring festival and three for riding out the storm)? We could do it the same way we chose the main themes. You could all send in suggestions to me and then I could set up a poll.
Then, for the duels, the contestants in each duel can decide together what they think their duel theme should be amd send it to me.
Thoughts?

[Tam and Martin]

Nice Idea! Maybe that would work! I'll do it
