I have the best idea ever for the short story... unfortunately writing it isn't super easy. I'm not sure how long it should be.

I'm hoping I can get it down to 500 words.

I was wondering if the artwork competition could be something done with recycled materials such as boxes, cardboards, etc~ I had an idea related with this so then once done i just have to send a picture from it.

Yours, Cristina.

Is around 200 words over 1000 too much in that story competition?

@Kysha: Sounds cool to me! Big Grin

Go for it. Wink

@Santa Joker: Eh, if you can't shorten it anymore, okay .. just this once! Cool

I got serious problem. I first wrote my tibia story in finnish and it had less than 1200 words. when I translated it to english, it had total 1500 words. propably with those stupid a, the, of and other thingies. I guess that means that story is too long? >.<

Maybe just cancel the; a's, the's and all these abbreviations and leave it at 1200
And CM Ogrey will know for sure where to put "The's, a's" and that will do.......

Anyway; never trust google translator Smile

You can't get rid of 'the' or 'a' from stories.

Judging should be as easy as possible for the judges, they shouldn't have to do extra work to figure out how a story goes.

Are there any paragraphs or what-not you can remove? Sad

About the picture story:
Do you post a comment beside as a story, or in the picture?

Winterhavoc · 05-18-2009 08:07 PM

As the short story changed to 1500 words, I modified my story, mainly the end, which was too "accelerated", if you understand me Smile

@Julien: You don't have to post any kinda of story with it, we'll be judging the actual picture bit hehe.
@Winter: That's fine. Wink
