PostPosted: Wed Apr 30, 2008 7:55 am    Post subject: Humanity: The Apocalypse Reply with quote

Okay, my plan is this. Basically you write a poem or short story over 2500 words about the riders of the Apocalypse.

Quote:

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are the forces of man's destruction described in the Christian Bible in chapter six of the Book of Revelation. The four horsemen are traditionally named after the powers they represent: War, Famine, Pestilence and Death; only Death, however, is directly named in the Bible.


Just write something about them all. Just want to see what people can come up with.

May 28th 2008 (Can be Delayed)

Prize:
First: Five Reviews on any peices you wish and 500 points
Second: Three reviews on any peices you wish
Third: One review on the peice of my choosing.

Rules:
One entry only.
Allowed to enter an older peice
Permission to use swears if you wish, but in moderation.

Last bit: Anyone wish to volunteer to help me in judging?

I can't promise but I'll try my best as this looks very interesting.
I wonder if it CAN be delayed. I won't make you delay just yet. Let me try and see if can make it.

Hmm... I would like if all were included. Because I'm worried you'll go with death, but if ya go with the two not so used. Possibly.

Right. You know these horsemen?

Well, I'm not that clued up on them, as much as I would have liked, for this contest - of course I'll do my research though. But, could we give our own little twists to them, or do we have to follow the Bible in their actions and what-not?

Course not, just put them in. I've never read anything like Prose or Poem where I see them much except in X-Men. Just let the imagination wild. Smile

Sorry, I'm going to pop out of this contest. Nothing terribly original coming to mind. X(

I'll attempt it, but I can't promise I'll come up with something. School is ending, so I've got a lot of stuff to do. But I'll definitely try. ^.^
