The Beast's Lair Fanfic Contest (2013 Edition) (Discussion Thread)

[Milbunk]

Nope no deadline just have the fic entered by the deadline and you can enter whichever category you want.

[Raven2785]

Alright that's cool plenty of time to make your decision. (Also cause this side of the forum is often barren I made a second thread to get people's attention, you can post in either but I was just letting you know.)

If you want to judge I can consider adding you but keep in mind that the contest isn't going to actually start judging until April.

Fine by me. Unless people take issue with me being a judge, then I'll take one of the spots then.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

I think I'll throw my hat into the Ring. Might as well see some critique on my work.


Put me into Action.

[Neir]

keep your opinion to yourself you hater

I'm not the one who's afraid to enter a contest because people don't like him.

[Vanilla]

Hmm, sounds like fun. I think I'll give this a shot and make this my... debut here, so to speak.

Not sure which category though.

Oh, question. If the person was up to it, are they allowed to enter into all three categories?

says the hater, you keep on hating, i'll be around ignoring your invalid, incorrect opinion.

[Milbunk]

Vanilla: Nope sorry just one category only.

[Mashina]

I think I'll join in too.

I'll probably go for humour.

lantz pls

I might join under Action or Drama.

[Servant Shiki]

Fuck, so tempting but I know my muse is a fickle bitch. How long do we have until entries are done?

[RadiantBeam]

A question, because I remember this was a bit of an issue last year with the contest. Under what categories are you judging the fics that will participate, and how will you define those categories?

[RacingeR]

I think I'll be joining this time around, under either Action or Drama.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Haters hate because they find reasons to hate.

Ask them WHY they hate, and get an idea if its something you can fix, and still keep the majority of your fanbase happy.

​Of course, I doubt that lantzblades has fans

[Froggie]

lol Froggie

You know you totally want in on that (unofficial) category.

[Vanilla]

Vanilla: Nope sorry just one category only.

Well darn. Oh well, guess that means I have to be a bit more picky on category then.

Still thinking on category at the moment. Action is not my forte, so I won't be entering that.

Oh no, we've all tried that before. But he has so much experience, that no one has a valid opinion.

[MrTags]

So... we just write a few words and throw new naked images of dark saber at neir and we've already half won right?

[Neir]

>new

Good luck with that.

[Nacho the Doritosedge]

I think I'll join this year, too. Last year's judges' critique were very helpful, after all. I could live with more of that.


I'll join Action, but it may change.

Oh hey, btw, is there a certain date where we can't change category anymore, or can we change until the last second?

[Dark Pulse]

Fuck, so tempting but I know my muse is a fickle bitch. How long do we have until entries are done?

As Milbunk said, due April 1st. So you basically got about three months to write it - plenty of time, even if you're fickle.

Swaying one judge is not swaying all five. I'll happily shit on your story if you do this, for example.
