HOLY CRAP! THIS IS A BAD HOOK! You think you can do better? Of course you can! ...But can you prove it?
The contest is simple. All you've got to do is write a fanfiction according to the requirements of the topic. That's it! Yay!
The Main Rules... aka what I'm looking for: (Suggestions for you to use... if you want to win of course)
-1 fanfic entry per person
-MUST BE A WHOLE STORY (It's a short story; No chapters)
-Good grammar
-No spelling errors
-No curse words (C'mon... you guys know the rules)
-Run-on sentences are annoying
-Adjectives are your friend
-Adverbs are your friend's friends
-Don't go off-topic
-No crossovers, cameos, or OCs! I'M SERIOUS!
-MAKE IT LOGICAL (not stupid like, "The penguin blew up and evaporated into a giant fire extinguisher"). Exception: Allowed only when I ask for "Illogical Humor."
Topic - The main topic of your fanfiction. If the topic is "Anything Goes," then write whatever you want (except "Illogical Humor"... that's totally different, which makes it ironic). If however the topic is, for example, "Cheeseburger," your story must be mainly focus on the idea of or about a cheeseburger.
Characters - There will be a requirement for certain Camp Lazlo characters to be in your story. If one or more of the characters I ask for aren't in your story, then you will be deducted. Simple, just use all the characters needed and you'll be fine. Feel free to include additional characters if you wish.
Ideas/Objects - Along with the topics and the characters, there will sometimes be an idea or an object requirement. You must include this into your story... somehow.
Word Count - There will be a limit to how long or how short your fanfiction shall be. I honestly don't like reading 23000 words all at once, and I think a 120-word paragraph story is just... the cliffnotes of it all. So yeah. If your wordprocessor lacks the option to Word Count, Copy/Paste your fanfiction HERE.
Scoring - Fanfic entries will be scored on a rubric:
TOPIC - 10 pts
REQUIREMENTS MET - 15 pts
RULES OBEYED - 5 pts
CREATIVITY - 20 pts
TOTAL - 50 pts
Badges - Badges will be given out. Yeah... it'll be in a ratio system.
CLFF Badge 1 - TBA
CLFF Badge 2 - TBA
CLFF Badge 3 - TBA
If you have a badge and win the next month's game, you can get an upgrade and get the next ranking badge. More information will be posted later.
Placement - Of course, if we've got 3 winners... one would be slightly better than the others, correct? Yes, there will still be a first place, second place, and third place. Check it out:
First Place - Badge + Personal rank (I'll PM you) + Bragging rights
Second Place - Badge + Bragging rights
Third Place - Personal rank (I'll PM you) + Bragging rights
So yeah. Easy. Just send me, Netaro, your fanfics through PM and title it CL FanFic Contest Entry. And yeah! That's it! ^_^ Be sure to be aware of the deadlines at the bottom of this thread.
Requirements:-Must include the following characters: Lazlo, Raj, Clam, Scoutmaster Lumpus, Slinkman.
