Credit goes mostly to Kaggami from coming up with this idea, and then we worked together to flesh the concept out. We're going to aim to do this every 3-4 weeks/monthly so if this goes well the first round or two, we can continue this event/competition on schedule.
Each participant needs to write at least a short story, around 4,000 words. At the end of the writing period, any member can vote for their favorite story. If there is a tie, whoever had chosen the theme gets to judge which of the top picks as the winner. The winner will get a prize(s) and get to choose the theme for the next competition.
Make sure that when you post your stories on FF.net that you mention that the story was written for Poirot Cafe's competition to our readers! Let's have fun and advertise at the same time!
Prize:
Custom designed award badge that you can use in your signature or elsewhere. A simple fanart by request from Crimson Amarone (or any other volunteers).
Guidelines:
1. Keep stories relatively short (around 4000 words).
2. K-T ratings only.
3. No crossover unless theme allows.
4. Must be new material, no re-posted stories.
5. Please try to be fair and courteous when voting and reviewing!

"Summer Adventure"
