A Writing Contest for Halt’s Playground
Introducing Halt’s Playground’s first ever writing contest. Please review the rules before entering.
The prize for this contest will be two-fold: Part 1 from Ringulf is a hand-tooled and constructed leather water bottle holder which will allow the winner to carry a bottle of water or similar shaped object on his or her belt. Part 2 from Brandwyn will be a pendant with a wire wrapped stone sporting a silver wire oak leaf. Both of these items will accessorize your Ranger outfit nicely.
Rules:
1. Create a short story set in the Ranger’s Apprentice / Halt’s Playground world utilizing one of the adoptable characters from Halt’s Playground’s former members as the main character (protagonist or antagonist) of your story. (You may have your own characters in the story, but they should be in supporting roles.)
2. Your short story should be around 10,000 words but you must have a minimum of 3000 words and no more than 20,000.
3. Spelling and grammar count. Be sure to have someone proofread it before submitting and fix your spelling and grammar errors. The staff of HP reserves the right to reject any entries that do not fit the minimum requirements for spelling and grammar. Entrants will be afforded an opportunity to correct the mistakes and enter the story again up until the deadline.
4. You can post your entries now until December 30, 2012. Post your entry on the Chatter board and put [short story] and then your title in the subject line. Post your story as an attachment, not directly into the reply box OR create a new thread and post it in multiply replies. Due to the 60,000 character limit in the reply box, you may not be able to post the entire story at one time in the reply box.
5. Deadline for submissions is December 30, 2012
6. You do not have to adopt the character you feature in your short story. (See Character adoption rules)
7. You may only submit one short story per person.
8. You must be a current member of Halt's Playground to enter the contest.
The Winner will be selected by a polling of the members of Halt’s Playground after January 1, 2013. Staff will decide tiebreakers. The polling will be open for a limited time to be determined. The winner will be required to supply a mailing address so that we can ship the prizes(unless you don't want the prizes).
The Staff will submit entry samples, but they will not be considered for the contest.
