Ally's Contest!

[Ally]

Haha, yeah, I decided to have a writing contest per say. This idea just POPPED into my head yesterday and I haven't had time to put up the thread until, well now. Hehe, I have simple rules and simple prizes. There will be a deadline and you have to meet ALL requirments.

Rule #1- It has to be a Pokemon story. Simple rule, I think you can follow it.

Rule #2- It has be a couple story, I know most people will chose Advanceshipping, but can you try and be unique?

Rule #3- This story has to be AU. Haha, guess you weren't expecting that. Most people don't do AU, so why not force you. I am so evil!

Rule #4- This story can only be a one-shot, no chapter stories please.

Rule #5- You cannot enter a previously published story. If it is saved on your computer somewhere, that is fine. As long as it hasn't been posted on FF.net or ANY fourms. (Ex: Serebii, Bulbagarden, this one, ASU etc.)

DEADLINE- July 21st. I know it takes awhile to think of an idea, write it, type it and then post it. I think about 2 months should be enough time. Please tell me if you need an extention of any sort.

Judging- If there are a lot of entries I will have a second judge. Probably someone who hasn't entered. If you want to be one PM me. Although please wait until I say I am looking for one.

Entries- When you have posted a story for this Contest please put AC entry in your summary indicating to me that this is your contest entry. Also, post the link in this thread! YOU HAVE TO DO THIS! You may also have up to 2 entries, no more!

Prizes! ;D

First Place- Edited Picture of your choice, dedication, your story posted in my signature and on my FF.net profile.

Second Place- Dedication, story posted in my FF.net profile.

Third Place- Story posted in my FF.net profile.

Have fun!!!!

Hey, I like this...
It is about time I'd write something myself you know... >.>
So expect something outta ma brainzzz....

But a question:

Rule #3- This story has to be AU. Haha, guess you weren't expecting that. Most people don't do AU, so why not force you. I am so evil!

What's AU??

[Ally]

Alternate Universe. That means it can't be in the "Pokemon Universe". (I believe that is what AU stands for, I could be wrong. If it is someone tell me and I will change it.)

Meh.
No Pokemon allowed...
But I already promised to join this contest, it's fine with me.

Ohoho! I love writing in AU! And it turns out I have been having an advanceshipping AU story eating me for a while now.
I'll join this and attempt to write a good story.XD

[DaveTheFishandChipsGuy]

Hang on..... it has to be Pokemon, yet AU?

I mainly like writing for the Pokemon themselves. I just love writing battles. The shippyness is where I get a bit stuck. Though, I could maybe do it if ther WERE Pokemon involved.....

Does it really HAVE to be AU? Awwwww........

Sorry Dave the point of the contest was to see if people could actually write AU. This was because very few Advanceshipping authors seem to do it, and I think it would be cool to see if a bunch of people actually could.

You could have people clash swords or something. Just a suggestion.....

[DaveTheFishandChipsGuy]

^ Dammit! Oh well, guess I'm out then. I can help you with judging, if you need it?

[LuciferIX]

Not sure if I would be ab;e to do this all that well. If an idea comes to me I'll try it/

[narutoninja44]

You guys are losers.(jkjk) AU is easy, you just need a good plot.=3

[Praetor]

Well, Matt, you haven't written a story in months; this could be a good opportunity to do so.

[LuciferIX]

Hey ideas don't come easily to me. Contrary to what some of you might believe I am a horrible writer and I always have been. Ideas don't come to me all that often and it takes me a while to get everything down. And it was just that reason that I was originally just going to be a reviewer on ff.net and nothing else. Truthfully I'm amazed that my stories have come out as good as they have.

But having said that, I will also say that I will keep my mind open for possibilities. On my current pattern I'll be looking for something in May's POV. If anything comes to mind during that time I'll write it and might submit it to Ally. But then again I've never written a one-shot before as well, they usually are too short to get a good story across. Of course there are always exceptions.

[Praetor]

You could have a long one-shot and base the event off of your life.

[Elite4James]

I have an AU idea in mind, but its a bit epic. I could probably try a snapshot of my original idea. This does sound like fun and I would give it a go only because it's something different.

[Ally]

Yeah, the whole idea of me having this contest was to give something new, something well different. As I can tell, that is what I am getting.

You guys are so awesome. ;D
