WODV Writing Competition

i. THE PURPOSE ii. THE RULES iii. WHAT WILL BE JUDGED iv. TIPS v. PRIZES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ i. THE PURPOSE The purpose of this writing competition is to encourage new roleplayers to join WODV and engage the community in a fun and creative way. This will also provide roleplayers the chance to flesh out their OC in ways they maybe haven't had the chance to before, and overall should be a fun way to get involved in the WODV community! What's WODV, you ask? There's a link in the Notes and Credits if you'd like to learn more. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ii. THE RULES 1) Your writing must revolve around your SEASON 3 WODV character. 2) 2,000 words is the limit. 3) Whatever you write will be canon to your character's life. Because of that, the same rules of realism apply (no magic, ghosts, unrealistic strength, etc). 4) If you'd like to include someone else's character in your piece, you MUST get their permission and they MUST be completely aware of and on board with everything their character is going to do in your piece (as in they believe it is staying true to their OC's personality). 5) Must be shared in the form of a Scratch project. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iii. WHAT WILL BE JUDGED 1) Depth of character. 2) Pacing. 3) Imagery/Setting. 4) Story-telling. 5) Balance. Overall, I'd love for it to read like a short section of a novel. A novel that, just like all of our OCs, still has more story to tell. ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iv. TIPS 1) If your character has an interesting backstory, maybe take this chance to write about it! 2) Whatever you write about doesn't have to be a super dramatic/important event. It can be, but smaller, happy events are just as great. 3) Lots of the time it's better to hint, not tell. 4) I love flowery language as much as the next person, but don't let that ruin your pacing and story-telling. 5) For setting: Think of your five senses! 6) This really doesn't need to be a whole three-act story, it's just an interesting, quick look into your character's life. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ v. PRIZES (the fun part :D) 1st Place: 1 fully shaded scene with up to three WODV OCs (not all have to be yours, but if they're not you must have the owner's permission for their OC to be drawn as a part of your prize). 2nd Place: 1 fully shaded full-body of your WODV OC. Solid background color. 3rd Place: 1 fully shaded headshot of your WODV OC. Runner ups (anywhere from 1 to 5): 1 unshaded headshot of your WODV OC. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you have any questions, feel free to ask! <3
