6-8k Writing Competition #7: Hero Writing: Sunday, January 29 - Sunday, March 12 Voting: Sunday, March 12 - Saturday, March 25
Theme selector: The Poirot Community
Theme: "Hero"
Optional Prompts: 1) Someone You Idolize2) Antihero 3) Everyday HeroesThemed Writing Competition Guidelines Event Details: Each participant needs to write a story to be posted by midnight according to the Cafe clock in the Contest Entries section of the Fanfic Library: poirotcafe.com/board/31/poirot-cafe-contest-entries . That's midnight Sunday going into Monday; you have the entirety of Sunday to work. At the end of the writing period, any member can vote for their favorite story. The winner will get a prize 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.
Guidelines: 1. Entries should be 6,000-8,000 words long (with 500 words TOPS to "wrap it up"), and please include word count at the top. 2. K-T ratings only. (Think suitable for about 14 years old.) 3. No crossovers or spoilers. 4. Must be new material written within the contest's writing period. No re-posted stories. 5. Please be fair and courteous when voting and reviewing!
Hopefully this theme inspires people to get out there and write. It seems like we've all been really busy with the holiday season, but maybe this will help us get back to writing more regularly. Good luck everybody!
