Silver Night Caldari Re-Awakened Technologies Inc Electus Matari	Posted - 2010.02.28 21:55:00 - [1] Edited by: Silver Night on 28/02/2010 21:58:07 Silver's First Annual Fiction Contest The Contest: Just write a short piece of Eve fiction. The contest will run 3 weeks from the time of this post. Submit your story in this thread (Either the story itself or a link to it). Winners will be picked by me at the end of the submission period. The Prizes: 1st Prize: Winner's choice of any one of the following faction battleships, with a 300m fitting stipend. Choices are: Bhaalgorn, Vindicator, Rattlesnake, Machariel, Nightmare, Raven Navy Issue, Tempest Fleet Issue, Apocalypse Navy Issue, Megathron Navy Issue, Dominix Navy Issue, Typhoon Fleet Issue, Armageddon Navy Issue, or Scorpion Navy Issue. 2nd Prize: Choice of any one of the Navy Issue or Fleet Issue battleships listed above. There will be 2 second prize winners. 3rd Prize: Choice of Empire Faction Cruisers from the following list: Caracal Navy Issue, Omen Navy Issue, Vexor Navy Issue, or Stabber Navy Issue. There will be 4 3rd place winners. That is seven chances to win. The Rules: Stories should be no more than 3000 words. A few more than that may be ok, but you should keep in mind I may have many entries to go through. One entry per person New fiction only Fiction must be set in the Eve universe Stories cannot include your character (the one you play the game with) Stories cannot center around a pod pilot. They can be mentioned, or involved, but your protagonist(s) should not be one. Story needs to be within the bounds of Eve PF (Canon). If you aren't sure about something, I suggest asking - the 'OOC' channel in-game would be a good place to start. If you aren't familiar with the PF, there is plenty on this site in the backstory section. Tip: Due to my personal preferences I would suggest not leaning heavily on anything from the TEA Eve novel. If your story won't fit in one forum post, put what you can here, with the rest off-site and a link at the end, or just a link here. (I suggest Blogger or posting it on the Eve OOC forums at www.eve-chatsubo.com. If you have another option, that's fine, but I'll probably decline to click on links I find shady. I'll let you know if wherever you've hosted it is a problem for me. All decisions by me in regards to the contest are final. There is no appeal. Don't feel I've been fair to you? I will try to be fair, but in the end, Eve isn't fair. Value it as a learning experience. Contest will run for 3 weeks, starting at the time stamp on this post. Rules subject to change. Prizes will be contracted in Jita in the week following the close of the contest. Contracts will be set to two weeks, assigned to the character who submitted the story. I know, Jita. Deal with it. Misc: Some sort of graphical accompaniment to your work is, while not required, appreciated. Should there be a few entries that do have pretty pictures, I'll rustle up some kind of prize for that too. A pirate cruiser or something, for the one I like the most. If this event is successful, I will likely run another next year. In between, look out for another event to be held (IC) on the IGS sometime following the close of this contest. If requested, I can provide a few prompts to help people get started. Remember: Eve isn't just spaceships, there are mining colonies, plants, moons, stations, gates - the possibilities are nearly limitless. -------------- Silver's Fiction

Silver Night Caldari Re-Awakened Technologies Inc Electus Matari	Posted - 2010.03.04 05:20:00 - [3] Edited by: Silver Night on 04/03/2010 05:20:31 Lots of great submissions so far. Keep them coming. Originally by: Commander Cross C-MAC origins story Linkage While it is an excellent story, it does violate the rule regarding the story being centered around a podder. Stitcher's story, above, is at the very, very far edge of what I'm willing to give a nod to when it comes to that rule. Still a good story, of course, just not eligible for this contest. Please feel free to retract this one and submit a different one though. Look forward to reading more from you whatever the case. -------------- Silver's Fiction
Silver Night Caldari Re-Awakened Technologies Inc Electus Matari	Posted - 2010.03.04 21:18:00 - [4] Originally by: Donnagen Hey guys, I'm relatively knew to eve, hitting the three million sp mark a couple of days ago. I stumbled across this contest through the capsuleer app and having always enjoyed writing thought it sounded fun. Then I saw the prizes... for a noob like me? Mind blowing. Consequently I spent a solid three to four hours reading through a selection of the eve chronicles as well as fan fiction by the players (yes I'm that cool) and was fascinated by the back story. Eve is such a rich universe, every race is so interesting! Anyway, I may be a "sorta noob" for eve but am almost a total noob with regards to fan fiction and blogging. Are there any good sites I could post my finished work on and this may be a stupid question but what does "reserved" mean? Thanks for showing me quite how rich eve truly is Silver and thanks for organising this contest. The promise of faction battleships is more than enough to get me writing! Hope you enjoy my work when its posted and thanks in advance for any answers to my questions My 'Reserved' is for rule changes and posting the winners, things like that. The OP has about as many characters still available as a twitter post . The other 'reserved' posts are probably so people can post the link to their stories there, higher up. You can use your post for the same thing, actually. As for good sites, www.eve-chatsubo.com is the unofficial OOC forum for Eve. There is a 'Writer's Workshop' section there where you can post your piece, and just link to it here. Something like Blogger is also an option. -------------- Silver's Fiction

Silver Night Caldari Re-Awakened Technologies Inc Electus Matari	Posted - 2010.03.19 20:31:00 - [7] Just a reminder: Make sure you put a link to your story in this thread. If your story is not linked, chances are it won't be considered.
Silver Night Caldari Re-Awakened Technologies Inc Electus Matari	Posted - 2010.03.21 22:43:00 - [8] Contest is closed, as of 21:55 today. Thanks to everyone who entered! I will try to have winners inside a week, but I may have underestimated quite how many entries I would get. I'll make sure and keep you all updated! -------------- Silver's Fiction
Silver Night Caldari Re-Awakened Technologies Inc Electus Matari	Posted - 2010.03.25 01:31:00 - [9] So, I'm still sorting through entries, though I've whittled it down to less than 60, and there are some front runners (No, I'm not telling you who). Id like to know though: Who do you think should be one of the winners? (Please don't nominate yourself). Which stories have you enjoyed? -------------- Silver's Fiction
Silver Night Caldari Re-Awakened Technologies Inc Electus Matari	Posted - 2010.03.25 02:10:00 - [10] Originally by: ps3ud0nym Thanks for letting the community know about this through the newsletter THREE DAYS AFTER THE CONTEST HAS CLOSED!!! Would have LOVED to enter, but apparently that is no longer posible. Epic ****ing fail guys. If the damn thing is over, PLEASE don't promote it in the newsletter until the results are in. There will be another, next year. Probably around the same time, so look for it. :) -------------- Silver's Fiction
Silver Night Caldari Re-Awakened Technologies Inc Electus Matari	Posted - 2010.03.27 04:26:00 - [11] I'm nearly done selecting winners. I'm going to have to add an additional week to get the prizes up on contract. I honestly didn't realize there would be quite so many submissions . I'll try and have the winners announced by Sunday. Judging this contest has been incredibly tough. There are way more than seven entries that deserve a prize. Unfortunately, I'm not going to give out three dozen faction BSs. For everyone who entered: Keep it up. If you don't win, there's a good chance it was only by a hair. And I will be doing this again next year. -------------- Silver's Fiction
Silver Night Caldari Re-Awakened Technologies Inc Electus Matari	Posted - 2010.03.30 06:16:00 - [12] Hey, just wanted to let you all know I'm working on it. Weekend was a bit busier than I anticipated in RL. Should have the winners up in the next day or so though. -------------- Silver's Fiction
Silver Night Caldari Re-Awakened Technologies Inc Electus Matari	Posted - 2010.03.31 08:19:00 - [13] Winners have been announced! Check the first reply in the thread for details! -------------- Silver's Fiction
Silver Night Caldari Re-Awakened Technologies Inc Electus Matari	Posted - 2010.03.31 23:30:00 - [14] Originally by: Lucius Vindictus Originally by: The RAv3n What happened to the graphical part of the contest, I put quite a few hours into that. It was never 100% guaranteed that there would be prizes for that aspect of the contest. I think it is likely that those entries that had nice pictures had better chances though, which is an advantage I suppose. This is correct, basically. With the number of entries, I was pretty swamped just judging the stories, I'm afraid. -------------- Silver's Fiction
Silver Night Caldari Re-Awakened Technologies Inc Electus Matari	Posted - 2010.04.01 00:15:00 - [15] Alright, most of the prizes are up on contracts. Still need Mike Azariah and Mammal Tafren to lemme know (here or via mail) which ship they would like. -------------- Silver's Fiction
Silver Night Caldari Re-Awakened Technologies Inc Electus Matari	Posted - 2010.04.02 23:30:00 - [16] All the prizes are up! Thanks to everyone who participated! It's been a lotta fun, and I look forward to seeing what people come up with next year. -------------- Silver's Fiction
