Due to the low volume of activity here on the site I am going to take it upon myself to organize a tournament for writers.
Much like our previous EF site had before its final year, I want to institute a tournament that will reward our top writer after a series of rounds. The number of rounds depends on the number members that want to participate.
EARLY GUIDELINES: - Each round of writing will have a central theme for the entries. - The writings will have a strict deadline to be fair as far as equal time goes. - The Entries will need to be posted in the OFFICIAL MATCHES forum - The writings will be judged by Grammar, how well the characters are portrayed to their actual source material, how on topic of the theme you stay, etc. (The actual rules and guidelines will be posted later after convening with other admin)
While I can not afford as grand of a prize as the previous site, the overall winner of the tournament will be awarded something of value. (Undecided on a gift card, item, etc at this time)
To be as fair as possible, I would like to ask any admin level members that are willing to help me judge the writings accordingly. If you are interested in helping me judge, PM me and we can hash out specifics on ideas.
If you are interested in signing up please comment below so I can get an idea on the number of participants.

Sure. Once I get home, I'll vote yes. I've been looking for something to occupy my time between monthly challenges over at INC.

I've all pent up with writing ideas, and for the first time they DON'T revolve around ponies or anime. I'm game.

I might be in on this, but in the unlikely event that I win this I don't want whatever prize that will be available. I just like writing, and to be honest, no one pays attention to the fanfic section anymore, it's hardly worth existing.

Writing fanfic that isn't "slice of life" would mean deciding for yourself who would win given a specific situation; this means that someone's probably going to disagree unless you write in that everything will be going one character's way. It's probably to avoid conflict with the community...
Or everyone's just not into writing fics over battles. You know. Either one. Meh.

Also in, for sure! It's been too long.
I didn't get a chance to vote, but I'll contribute however I can. I want to be a judge, but I also want to participate as well, so I'm torn. As for match ideas, we can have everyone pick an idea and throw it in a hat, then draw one at random. The downside is many people may not like the topic, but at least it would be equal opportunity for everyone. I'd even be willing to make a video of the hat drawing, heh.
Some ideas off the top of my mind... it is ocean/outdoors appreciation month. Maybe a nature theme? Or a father theme, since father's day is around the corner.

I'd be up for being a judge, since I'm not really in a mood for writing fiction atm unfortunately.
