A Writing Competition?

In light of the recent competitions that have (finally) been springing up here, I suggest a writing competition, along the lines of creating an entirely fictional piece of writing by a certain deadline, with a certain theme and members can vote for their favourite entry. Story of the Week, if you like In other words, it could go the same way as Sig of the Week.

As a reward for the winner, maybe an avid Graphics expert could create some kind of banner - "Story of the Week Winner: dd/mm/yy," or something. It's out there; yay, or nay?

I'd love to see a writing competition be set up. I love writing, though I haven't done anything for several months. A competition would be great to get me going again. And I don't think it would be hard to set it up, or find the support for it.

Does it have to be a story? What about a Poetry Competition? I approve of the idea though.

Yes, why not?
We have some talented writers on this site, and I'd love to see this competition anyway.
Haha, and yeah, why not a poetry competition to go along with this as well?

I had planned on forming a writing competition towards the end of the year. I think an entire fictional piece is a great idea. And I think December 31st is the perfect deadline. That would give members...about 5 months to work on their pieces.

How long should the submissions be?

Well, it depends what the piece is. Will it be a fanfic, an original story, or a poem? And what the theme is too.
Maybe add a poll to the thread to decide on it?

Well, I wasn't really set on any way to go about this, and I just used a Story as an example. I'll rename it to the "Literature Competition," if that helps

As for deadlines ... well, that would all depend on the size of the writing piece. December 31st seems a bit too colossal for a first-time competition. I was thinking more along the lines of short stories, with fortnightly deadlines Of course, if you'd like to run it, Nephany, then that'd be up to you
