Everything is explained at this link:
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/58493223/
Still, should you just want the basics:
I created five characters. Write a short story (2 paragraphs-20 pages) that uses all five characters in a creative way.
Prizes:
The person with the highest score/wins will get all of my points on Young Writers Society, 10 critiques of their choice, and a free request (should they want it).
The people with the second and third highest score will get 5 critiques of their choice and a free request.
Still, all the rules are explained at that link, so I would STRONGLY reccomend reading through it if you're interested in entering. |

ooer.
This looks terribly hard for me. I'm bad with lots of characters at once. But I stared at it for a while, and I might have an idea...Odd though it may be.
We'll see if anything comes about. Should we post here, or in a general literature section? |

If you'd like for it to be public, you can post it in the general literature section. No matter what, though, I need a copy of it PMed to me. The winner and the runner up will ultimately be posted in this thread  |

20 pages in microsoft word, single spaced.
Word limits would sort of drive me insane
EDIT:
I changed my mind. For some 20 pages may be too few. The limit is now, officially, 50 pages in microsoft word, single spaced. |
