The prose piece may be on whatever you feel like writing about, an inanimate object, an animal , whatever.
Also I've decided to compete ONLY for the fun of it, not eligable to win, and will be judging (seeing as we're 3 short and its unfair of me to start something and push judging off on other people)

I'm not going to compete, but I would like to be a judge, if that's alright. ^^; I'm a bit too overscheduled to write things for this atm, but I can definitely act as a judge.

Krazydog - July 23, 2006 12:17 AM (GMT)
>>;; Hey Dont think your so innocent yourself, Blood. I know your planning something, your ALWAYS planning somethin.
xPanic - July 23, 2006 12:38 AM (GMT)
Yeah I'm planning a writing competition. Also I'm planning *muffled* those fools *muffled more* and then *cough ack cough* to finally succeed.
Krazydog - July 23, 2006 12:43 AM (GMT)
SHHHH! Blood you must never reveal your evil schemes! XD Thats the downfall of all notorious antagonists! XDD We reveal our plan and BOOM the heroes defeat us using it against us.
xPanic - July 23, 2006 12:49 AM (GMT)
I really need to set dates for this contest..d*** those heroes...foiling my infamous plots.
Krazydog - July 23, 2006 12:56 AM (GMT)
perhaps once we get more contenders and judges x]
xPanic - July 23, 2006 01:10 AM (GMT)
Perhaps when you aren't distracting me with threats of tea parties and such..
Krazydog - July 23, 2006 01:12 AM (GMT)
:rolleyes: Me? Whatever do you mean? XD You LOVE tea parties... WITH BISCUITS! XD
xPanic - July 23, 2006 01:13 AM (GMT)
Yeah as much as I love dress up.
Michiko - August 1, 2006 03:05 PM (GMT)
As much as I hate to end this entertaining converesation... when do we actually start?
xPanic - August 1, 2006 06:58 PM (GMT)
Well as much as I hate to point out read above. I will decide when it starts among other dates once we get a few more judges and contenders. But clearly the entertaining conversation was a bit over your head.
Michiko - August 4, 2006 07:26 PM (GMT)
*twitches* Needling me with pointless insults isn't necesary. Besides, I KNOW you decide; I was just wondering if you had a date range in mind. Sorry for asking, 'your highness'.
Krazydog - August 5, 2006 04:31 AM (GMT)
Hey, hey lets not argue. Jeez, Michiko this stuff takes time you know and getting people to participate is hard.
And Blood, My bad, we went off topic alot.
Michiko - August 7, 2006 05:31 PM (GMT)
*nods* that's true... sorry. I'm just used to my inner circles where everyone would want to be in on it.
Krazydog - August 9, 2006 01:07 AM (GMT)
And that's supposed to mean...? We really don't need bragging at the moment.
Fishes Go Blub - August 18, 2006 10:09 PM (GMT)
I think I may want to compete, but I can't this weekend. my dad had come back to Indiana from Alabama and I have to spend "quality time" with him. Really, i wish I could just rip out his throat and....
*clears throat*
Sorry, anyway. :D I have a question first, before I give any final answer. Okay, two questions.
1) What the hell is a prose?
2) can we postpone a tad longer if I were to compete.
This whole weekend is booked and I'm going to have a lot of homework next week. I can probably come up with something in between there, but.... I'll need some time. Unless the due dates are far from now so I can get at least one thing done each day, then I'm sunk on the whole competeing idea.
Oh, jeez.
One last question about the RP sample thing:
Does it have to be FMA, because I'd really like it to not be. I can't do fan RPs, but I can rock the socks off an ordinary, fantasy RP. So... please say it doesn't have to be FMA.
xPanic - August 20, 2006 05:43 PM (GMT)
1. Yeah we don't have fixed dates yet
2. Prose is simply in story format...its not in stanzas or verse is what I mean
3. We don't use cannon characters on this board but it is an FMA board so if I were you I'd go read the timeline for RP, basically all that would be FMA related would be the places and/or certain phrases such as;
'The State' or anything related
'Heretics'
"Mecha Faction'
' Alchemy' or anything related though it can be found in fantasy
and 'Automail' Though again...bionic limbs are not so uncommon.
Fishes Go Blub - September 3, 2006 03:27 AM (GMT)
I'm so sorry i just disappeared. I started school and then volleyball takes a long time... I don't know when, and if, i'll be able to find time to write up these things. I will compete, I suppose, but I'll need some time to get my crap together.
BTW, what happens when you don't meet the deadline for a certain writing... thing?
xPanic - September 4, 2006 05:41 PM (GMT)
That gets taken away from your total score.
Locke Cole - September 15, 2006 01:14 AM (GMT)
Umm... with the poem entry stuff... does the writings have to be about FMA? If not then I'd like to join in the contest XD
xPanic - September 19, 2006 03:25 PM (GMT)
Only the formal..rp whatever has to be about fma. Thinking about it I've decided to open this up let me go fill in the dates
