Could You Be The Last Man Standing?

Tenyo · 2014-02-26T10:07:56Z

The Last Man Standing The Last Man Standing- Wall, Questions and Sign-up Here ye, here ye! Come all, come near! I have a challenge for those who will hear. A feat of conquest, to conquer and roam, that will lead you so very far from home, be strong, be brave, and always endure for this road has ruined so many before. Take with you all you love and cherish- for the faint of heart will surely perish. The Task: Your quest begins at the Castle BlankPage with all of your fellow contestants. Each week the kings servant will set up a flag. You must reach the flag and send a chapter of your adventure back to the king before it is destroyed. Those who fail to reach the flag before it is set aflame will be left behind to the beasts of the wilderness and knocked out of the contest. The Last Man Standing is the person who manages to outrun all of his fellow contestants. (Translation: You post a chapter a week. If you miss a deadline, you're out! And the winner is the last person still going.) Warriors Aid: The Sages- Each participant will have their own Sage with will give a week by week review of your quest. The benefit of this is that you'll have someone alongside you the whole way, who will be accustomed to your strengths and weaknesses. Not only will this help you grow more but you'll have a constant imput of help and guidance throughout your novel, and hopefully a good friend to come out of it at the end. The Wages- For your valient efforts you'll also be awarded 200 points at the end of each week. Champions Treasury: The prize for the winner begins at 5000 points , and is liable to increase as the weeks progress. Other prizes will be awarded along the way for reaching various targets and completing challenges. Contest Commences: Sunday 23rd of March . That means your first chapter must be posted after this date, and before midnight on Sunday 30th . Interested? There are many feasts to plan, horses to train, flags to knit, all before we begin, so if you're interested in taking part reply below, that way the King and his servants have a rough idea of numbers. Feel free to include any questions or queries. Also seeking: Dedicated Reviewers Points/ Prize Donations Quick Questions: You can write in any genre you want, but it must be one continuous project (series and poetry not included.) The word limit is 800>2000 words per piece. You can post more than one piece, but all works submitted in the same week count only for that week, and your wisely Sage will be obligated to review only one piece.

I will post as soon as I get the edit forthe previous piece done. This is a bother!

Sorry, this is longer than I expected it to be.

I'm gonna tag all the sages here so I don't point out any names: @PiesAreSquared @kayfortnight @Noelle @Holysocks @OliveDreams @Messenger @Deanie @AriaAdams @SushiSashimi333 @WritingWolf @Noelle @megsug

Wait what? Why am I tagging Sages?
Because some of you are severely neglecting your contestants! D=

Glancing through the contestants and reviews there definitely seems to be a correlation between the morale of the contestant and the dedication of the sage, so it's really important that you let me know if you need help or are unable to continue your sagely duties.

Partly so that I can get one of our wonderful allstars to drop by and review in your place, and partly because it's my task to keep you guys motivated as well as your wary warriors, so if we're struggling then something needs to be done.

Tips I can offer:

~ Don't forget that you have until the Sunday after the chapter is due to review, that gives you more than a week. (Some of you are three weeks behind.)
~ Set an allocated space of time- ten- twenty minutes per chapter, sit but-in-chair and do it.
~ Read the work all the way through before reviewing. Novels are meant to be read rather than dissected, which means you'll enjoy it more and you'll have a better perspective on it.
~ When your time limit is almost done, quickly sum up your review, take a deep breath and press Submit.

If you haven't checked this out: clubs/1852/forum/72306 then it might be worth doing so.

What if you don't?

If you don't then I'm going to make a list of negligent sages and make wonderfully wicked mockeries of them in the Weekly Roundup ^__^

I think I've been mostly reviewing within the week the work comes out.

I'm so sorry. I actually had forgotten for a couple weeks, and then this week I remembered and have been insanely busy and haven't had a chance to write a review. (yeah, I know it should only take 15-20 minutes, but I find it ridiculously hard to review a chapter in less then 40 minutes)

Would it be possible for me to get a co-sage? Like, we take turns reviewing? One of us does every even number chapter, and the other does every odd number chapter. We'd both be required to read all chapters (so that we know what's going on with the story), but we'd only have to review every other one. Would that be possible?
