Greetings Members of Dissimulation!

Allow me to introduce our first Member-Addressed Contest!

In the Month of May, we are delivering a writing/creativity challenge! Its nice, simple, fun, and will star the first seven people to apply with a character of choice! Lets' get to the point, shall we?

The Island 7 is a writing challenge that will star the first seven Characters to apply for the spotlights in this challenge. Only one Character per Member can be applied for, and it is first come, first serve. Once we finalize and post the seven names of Characters, with the required information as requested in the code, we will release further details on this Contest! (No Spoilers, or any early Starters!)

Copy and paste the code below with the applicable information requested to sign up one of your characters! Sign-Ups will be available until all seven spots are filled, and the second part of this Contest will be displayed May 6th, 2012, at 6PM Eastern.

And let the Competition Begin!

Greetings Dissimulation!

Here is our line-up for our first Member-base event:

Puck the Bright
Anyanka Aleid
Ahlix the Blind Prophet
Furrow
Willow
Indiana Ford

Due to the lack of names applied for, the objective has been moved from 7 characters, to the registered 6. You may click on the names above to view their profiles for a more in-depth feel of the characters at hand.

Objective!

These 6 characters are trapped on an island! Surprising, is it not? This challenge is a writing challenge, more so a Short Story exercise. Here are some guidelines to follow / keep in mind while writing your piece:

• The Story is completely AU, and in no correlation to the Forum.
  
• The Island has barely over a Kilometer in diameter.
  
• There are limited resources, that being of natural resources such as wood from trees, water from the surrounding ocean, and food from the wild fruits/stray animals.
  
• Characters still have their Gifted Element.
  
• Those that have the ability to fly are unable to withdraw, due to gust winds out in the open and lack of knowledge of any close land.

Any other details that are of question, simply post below or message an Admin.

The Short Stories are expected to range from 500-3,000 words, and will be judged by the Staff based upon following the guidelines, creativity, and keeping the characters as close to their persona as possible. Need help in checking in ones persona? Simply ask the Member in charge of the Character, or browse through some of the threads they occupy!

Those who wish to participate, need simply to PM an Admin (preferably Jessie or Ryan) with the finished product. We will rate them accordingly, and the winning story will receive a Side-bar Spotlight, as well as a bonus gift! (We will also rate the stories upon the most creative, most funny, most scary, etc.)

The best of luck writers! We look forward to your thoughts!

We will only accept one Short-Story per member.

If our Character is on the list, do we have to write a short story?

Will we be able to see the stories after the judging is complete?

You do not have to write a story if your Character is on the list. These are simply the main characters that must be included in the writing.

The stories will all be posted once the judging is complete.

Apologies and adjusted. And yes, the story can be from any POV.

The character application for Willow is no longer available -- I'm assuming because the player is no longer active and has therefore had their account removed -- so are they being replaced or are we down to five?
