User blog:Vorred/Vorred's Writing Contest

Introduction
Hello fellow CBW-lers!

It's time to announce my first official contest on this wiki!

For those of you who never heard of this one before, I announced that there would be a writing contest for my story in a Blog Update not long ago.

As you may have guessed already, this contest will be about stories that expand on the content of my two comic series, Uprising and its sequel Patriots.

Your task
Since my series is based mainly on the team of Theran and Range, there are a lot of little side stories which weren't told in the comic itself.

Your story can now expand on that; here is a small list of possible scenarios to write about:


 * At the beginning of Uprising the Toa team split up into groups. We saw Theran and Range's way to Farside Village, but what happened to the other four? - taken by BobTheDoctor27


 * At the prologue of Patriots you saw that a new team of three miscolored Toa Mata had arrived, and they spoke about the village's former leader. What did they encounter? - taken by Matoro58


 * You saw the imprisoned Skakdi in the first chapter of Patriots. What might his story be? - taken by Jahoan17


 * There are so many Forgotten Warriors out there. Since every single one of those was once a living being, they must have had a story of their own. - chosen by different users

Note: You do not have to pick one of the ideas above. I'm also very interested to read what you thought to add. No matter what you choose in the end, it won't influence the final rating in a negative way.

The story also doesn't need to be extremely long; The lenght won't influence the rating as well.

How to enter
It's very easy to enter the contest. The follwowing steps shall guide you:

1. Pick a topic you want to write about.

2. Leave a comment. I will check it and tell you if you can enter with it.

3. Write the story/Make a comic.

4. Add another comment with a direct link to the story you wrote.

5. Wait for the results!

Rating
I will read every entry to this contest and give a full review with a final score on it's talk page.

The rating system will work like this, by splitting it up into three categories:


 * Creativity/Content ( 10 / 10 )


 * Style of Writing ( 10 / 10 )


 * Matching with the main story ( 5 / 5 )
