Edited by: Tanjita on 17/03/2009 14:42:44 Edited by: Tanjita on 17/03/2009 14:41:57 Edited by: Tanjita on 17/03/2009 14:40:25 First - thanks for the idea Veron Daerth!
So as much as I would like to pretend that I am a creative writting genius, the sad truth is IÆm not. I severly lack in the department of imagery and putting my thoughts and ideas into a story that makes sense. However, I want to begin this new project - where I log about my daily adventures in New Eden. While this part doesnÆt require much in terms of a story line - as it will (at least I think) - write most of itself; I donÆt want to simply dive in with having no background for my character.
As such I am putting together this little contest to write a basic story to fill in some of TanjitaÆs background. IÆll provide a basic framework and some characteristics that should be exposed in the story as well as be available via email ([email protected]) or you can always eve-mail or convo Tanjita in game.
Prizes are as follows:
First Place - featured on my site and receive 500 Million Isk Second Place - possible post on my site and receive 100 Million Isk Third Place - possible post on my site and receive 50 Million Isk
Requirements:
- The final winner will be decided upon by Tanjita
- Story must reflect the characteristics laid out by me
- Story must hold true to EVE fiction - that is culture, science, politics, etc.
- You grant me the right to post the story on my site for all the world to see - you will of course be noted as the true author
- You grant me the right to append to the story - but not to alter/change or take credit for your original piece of work
- Story must be long enough to make sense - donÆt submit a paragraph and call it a story youÆd just be wasting your time
- Submit entries to [email protected]
- Entries must be submitted by midnight March 24th 2009
- Winners will be declared March 25th 2009

I made a small post with some links to previous work and a few small outtakes from what popped in my mind when i read the pre-reqs of the story, but since the forum ate my post i'm going to decline to post it all again. Just stating that i'll be throwing in a try. ___________

I used to write short stories based on World of Warcraft for my old guild, although in a lighter vein than the guidelines provided.
Still, if I can have a chat with you in game to clarify a few points and get a feel for your current personality, I think I should be able to come up with something pretty cool =) |

My english skills are sufficient for the quality I would hope to achieve, but here are a few ideas:
(Path of the Ronin) First/last daughter of a noble but rather small and not wealthy warrior house of Khanid. The House is destroyed by intrigue and internal feuds between the Houses. (Medieval Japan as an example, but on Khanid it is more like a shadow politics/assassin/duell conflict that rarely draws public attention outside the involved parties). All family members either enslaved or killed at the end of the conflict.
Tanjita as a teenage girl escaped and had to live on her on wits and with only basic warrior training. Still these years thought her survival instincts and an eye for opportunities.
Eventually her Skills caught the eyes of an Amarrian Holder, that used Tanjita for various Jobs and because of her talents, even sponsored her a capsuleer training in the Acadamy. At this time her true origins were even unknown to the Holder and she joined the Acadamy by using a forged identity.
By a mistake or bad luck her true identity is revealed to her Commanders that she is a descendant of a disgraced Khanid Noble.Out of political reasons and to save face the Holder, as well as the Navy severed all ties with Tanjita. The Damage Control is only partially successfull since Tanjita manages to escape with a small Frigate and is doing Freelance work from this day.
(At this point the game starts and the rest of the history is yours to write )

This decision was extremely difficult - you all are gifted!
The winner was chosen because the piece that Anyura submitted convey'd Tanjita in the manner I laid out in the frame work. The mysterious sequences left the possibilities endless and it was a very interesting piece to read.
The same can be said for the second and third place winners - however - I felt as though they kind of pinned Tanny down at the end as opposed to leaving it somewhat open.
Lastly the Honorable Mentions - all very very good pieces... Some of these were left out of the top three because they didn't quite stick with EVE fundamentals - others because the were a bit "light" on a dark mind - etc. They all however are very good!
Tanjita's story will come to light and this was an amazing first step.
THANK YOU ALL once again!

Crap i was hoping for a top 3 notation but alas, i guess an honorable mention is worth something too Apparently i missed top 3 by just an inch and with around 40 stories submitted i can imagine it was a hard call for Tanjita. Grats to the winners and enjoy your prize. ___________

First off: Woo! second place! I can finally afford that rigged raven I've been drooling over for weeks now. if I had won first place I would be one step closer to my carrier dreams but.. oh well, now i can finaly run lvl 4s.
Second: It was alot of fun to write the backstory, if anyone reading this wants me to write theirs I'm more then willing to (for a cost of course) just send me an eve mail or open a convo with me in game.

Wow, I really can't believe I manage to scoop first - haven't got many ideas about what to do with the cash (although that Phantasm is looking *really* tempting)...I really had a lot of fun writing the backstory for Tanjita. I think I just got lucky with the right mix of elements - intrigue, combat, romance and a dream sequence that I'm especially pleased with.
I really hope we can see the other entries soon =D

Yeah, had a feeling I didn't quite write what you wanted to see, but then again I had to hurry up the piece and get it done, else I'd have made sure to sit down with you and discuss it a bit. Still an honorable mention is something considering this is my first attempt at writing something non-blog format. Thank you for providing practice and a 20 mil to spend on new goodies.

That was extremely stiff competition there - I particularly liked Waco's one. Granted, it wasn't quite within the framework but it was an absolutely fantastic read. Same goes for many of the others.

Tanjita, thank you for a very fun contest. I am very happy with the honorable mention, as I haven't written fiction in ages. :) I will read the other stories tomorrow --- congratulations to all the winners!
