MLK Writing Contest #27!

MLK Writing Contest #27!

Postby DGFone » May 27th, 2014, 6:27 am

I can't believe that it's already time to start the next contest! I guess that's what happens when you lose internet connection for a week after posting the voting round. I thought that I would have great timing with the TLKFotM contest running at the exact same time, but the tie there has solved the timing problem caused by losing the internet connection, but it did mean that my mind slipped up on this one. Caught it before it was too late though! Here are the prompts to write on for this contest:

Timon leaving his colony behind
Nala kills Pumbaa in her hunt
Mufasa's ghost shows up earlier
Simba sees Scar throw Mufasa to his death


Submit the story to me by Sunday, June 8th, 11:59:59 PST! As usual, I will edit the stories after they come in when I create the voting topic, but I would also like to thank you guys, because most of you by now are all simply PMing me the stories in the PM itself, so it makes the editing job a whole lot easier, and often, unnecessary. I don't mind receiving text/word files though, so you can use those as well, and I do get those some of the time.

The word limit is still the same: between 1000 and 4000 words. Keep the stories PG-13 or less, no plagiarizing off others, and don't submit something you already wrote previously for something else.

Good luck, and good writing!

Hmm. I am considering this but don't count on me. Not yet. I'll try to do this in the free time between classes.

Edit: I re-checked my schedule and I should be able to do this. Count me in.

I have a good idea, so I'll probably be doing this one.

You know what? I think I might actually enter. One of these prompts looks cool, I think I might actually do this one this time an--

Alright, ALRIGHT, I see that look on your face. I know I've said that the last ten times. :ocwap: Please don't kill me. But this time I should actually be able to enter, since school is almost over here.

About time too, I might add. -_________-

So yeah, fingers crossed. :ohyeah2:

The first two prompts don't appeal to me that much, so I doubt I'll be able to write anything good for them.
The 3rd one has a lot of potential, but I can't get any good ideas for it ATM.

And the 4th one... Well, it's mine. I don't think I should enter with my own prompt. Either way, I chose it to see what other writers will do with it. :3

Count me out on this one (probably). Gotta work on my new fanfic! :)
Choose the 4th prompt! I wanna see it get done!

Sometimes I simply sit down and write because I cannot help it. Who knows, perhaps one day something will come out of it. Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don't feel I should be doing something else.

I have a ton of ideas for prompts. But Mr. DGFone says I have to win to submit one.
Hmph. His loss. <_>

I don't know that I'll enter either. None of these prompts are really speaking to me.


...except the fourth one, which I already wrote something like ages ago that encompasses the only ideas I really have for it. So I think I'll pass on entry this time.

Just a heads up!

It's already Wednesday, and Sunday is the last day to submit story. I currently don't have any submissions in.

Extend it a week, and problem solved. Two weeks is hardly enough time to create, plan, write, and edit anything of value.
