Daydan Taboo Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 HiWell I have heard a lot about this writing challenge and that littleIcon you guys give the winner is really something, it’s alwaysnice to be rewarded for your hard work, if you like that sort ofthing. Myself, I just love it when someone gets excited about something I've written. So when is the next challenge, whatare the rules and how long do I/we have.
+ TyrWaltas Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 All the info you need is at the very top of this LOOOOOOOOOONG page
Jordan aka FltAdmlWolf Posted December 7, 2004 Author Posted December 7, 2004 I'm here folks, I'm just extremely busy. Unfortunately I just don't have the time to read these entries while also trying to build the new website. If you want to poke anyone, poke Idril. She's judging this round. I'll take "applications" for 1-2 people who want to assist with the next round of writing challenges. I really would like to do one a month, but if I can't get any help in creating/judging, then we won't be able to do it at all. :-\
Idril Mar Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 Sorry! *sheepish look* I had planned on getting them judged this week, but with finals grading and such, I haven't gotten to them. I promise, I will do it this morning.[modedit]I finished a little bit ago... Admiral Wolf will likely post the results soon.[/modedit]
+ TyrWaltas Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 I think Wolf's been busy with the server move.
Idril Mar Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 I get that impressions too.... *looks at the date...*
Jordan aka FltAdmlWolf Posted February 5, 2005 Author Posted February 5, 2005 From the judge, Idril Mar: Commander Waltas’ entry is a set of snapshots of the Academy, with one coming from each year. While it is up against two other strong entries, this one is unique among the three in that it tracks the main character’s development through the Academy in a way that the others really don’t. We see some of the main moments in every cadet’s stint at the Academy: the moment of leaving home, the rough class that everyone seems to have, and the Psych-Test. [...] The development makes us want to know how the character moves on from the Academy and into the Fleet.Per this assessment, Cmdr. Waltas has won this riting challenge and will get a mini-banner for his forum sig, and a banner to be placed on his ship's website. Thank you everyone who participated -- check back here in a week or two for the next challenge!
