(absolutely shameless self-promotion here; terrible person, aren't I?)

[Osu]

These cookie parties are always so rowdy. Did somebody spike the glitter with liquid condensed sugar? *eyes the ceiling* *gets liquid condensed sugar in eyes* HO HEY LET'S PAR-TAY DO THE CHICKEN DANCE ERRBODY!

And Skarzs, since the contest is over you can advertise all you want, haha. Once I'm sure everybody has said what they want to as far as the contest goes I'll lock the thread, so all y'all get your randomness in before then! XD

[Captain Tammo]

Well if you say so, Osu...

The Origins of Simon

[ACTION] [EERIE] [DRAMA] [ADVENTURE] [COMEDY] [SAD]

This is a fanfiction I wrote up over the course of three years. It was the grand prize winner of the first ever Redwall Abbey Forum Fanfiction Contest and has been reviewed by forum members as one of the greatest works to hit the forum (seriously!), comparable in quality to Brian Jacques himself! So if you're ever looking for a good fanfiction to read, go check it out

Back on the topic of the contest and cookie party now, I'm curious to see where people got their ideas from? What was the process you took to write your entry?

[Osu]

Hehehe.

Ooh yes, this please! I'm super interested in learning more about how and why you guys wrote your stories!

[Darkenmal]

For mine I just wrote and created as I went along. I picked Tammo and wondered what would happen if he were to lose the battle instead of winning it. I thought it came out pretty good if I do say so myself.

[Leatho Shellhound]

Well after seeing that lot's of people had written around the book The Long Patrol, I thought I'd choose a differant book.

Then I chose the last book b/c then I wouldn't have to think about the time frame very much.

And the story idea came quikely.

My other idea was to write on Laird Bosie McScutta of Bowlaynee from Doomwyte, but the highlander would have taken longer to write and I was running out of time.

[Jukka the Sling]

Before the contest, I had had this idea to write a fanfic with Buckler, a haremaid wanting her revenge (who later becomes his love interest), and Redwall actually getting conquered, and I'd begun writing it. But when I saw this contest I decided to make it a fic that left Redwall out and focused more on Buck and Blair.

And congrats to everybody who entered! I can't believe I placed as well as I did!

[Captain Tammo]

I initially wanted to do a story on Tammo (I know, big suprise!) but then decided to focus on a more minor character because we already know so much about Tammo. If I worked with a creature like Cornspurrey, I would be able to make my own history for him. I wanted to have the story a memory because then we learn more about Cornspurrey himself, rather than the creatures around him. Initially I was just about on top of the 3,000 word cap but I took some off to conserve that 1st person point of view. As far as the way the story was told, I pretty much just fired first then worried about aiming later. In all it took me about 2 hours to get it how I wanted it and inside the word cap. I'm glad to see that time paid off!
