Random McNally Red Federation RvB - RED Federation 32694	Posted - 2013.10.10 03:18:00 - [1] - Quote Capsuleers of New Eden (and perspective writers) It is my absolute pleasure to inform you that Telegram Sam has done it again! The return of the Pod and Pilot Fiction Contest for 2013. You can find the rules for the upcoming contest at https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=284381&p=2 or at his website, located at http://hullabalutions.blogspot.com/2013/10/hellowriters-and-readers-heres-pod-and.html. (although, why he posted the original post in GD is beyond me.....) In a nutshell... Pod and Pilot Fiction Contest is a contest for perspective writers to tell tales of New Eden in three Catagories. Eight Thousand Suns in New Eden These stories carry the best prizes but are the toughest since they require the tale to be told adhering to the canon of Eve Online. You cannot use ingame character, corporation or alliance names. It must be set within the New Eden milieu as laid out within the prime EVE fiction. A Day In The Life True, mostly true or completely made up events from the New Eden or Dust 514 landscape. In game character names CAN be used along with corporations, alliances or "player driven content" events. This catagory is much more fluid (and you are allowed to take potshots at the canon). Other Things Just Make You Swear And Curse A brand new catagory for the 2013 contest! For those of you that DONT think EVE/Dust is Srs Bzns! Stories here should be Eve/Dust related but have humor! Whether knee slapping or Sly-n-Dry, humor is the main component. Did you see I mentioned prizes? Oh yea, there will be prizes! Somer Blink and the High Drag podcast have contributed (so far) 101 PLEX!! (yea, Somer had to show us up....) You can see the break down of prizes on the above linked sites. If you would like to donate prizes to this endeavor, contact Telegram Sam. He'll know how to distribute them properly. Judging? There will be judges. CCP Eterne and CCP Falcon (two experienced EVE writers) along with CSM Member Mike Azariah and Telegram Sam himself will be the crew of judges you will need to impress! (I hear that Mr. Azariah is looking for more bounties.....coincidence?) Go to the sites. Read the rules. Take up your writing utensils and write write write!! Deadline for submissions is November 10, 2013 at 2359 game time. Clock is ticking folks! Now.........go! (where did I put that #2 pencil???)

Good job he did, otherwise I wouldn't know about it due to the fact that before I read the post in GD, I never came here... I have never wrote anything to let other people read it (I keep it all for myself) but I figure why the hell not. I'll give it a go. 2000 words (just over) so far, and about half way through (ish). But I have no clue what to name it! Sucks... Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

You're already ahead of the curve.
Ishtanchuk Fazmarai 2098	Posted - 2013.10.11 20:04:00 - [4] - Quote He, scrapped my first serious attempt after it grew too complex to fit within 5,000 words, but already have another one in good shape. Also i am plotting another micro-story/joke, if i can figure a good punchline for it. The Greater Fool Bar is now open for business, 24/7. Come and have drinks and fun somewhere between RL and New Eden!

Kira Hhallas Very Drunken Eve Flying Instructors Brotherhood Of Silent Space 204	Posted - 2013.10.14 14:11:00 - [8] - Quote Someone interested in an German Story ? We are at 14k words in the moment. But we only write in German and we don't find one who have the time to translate the story. Cuiusvis hominis est errare, nullius nisi insipientis in errore perseverare - Irren ist menschlich, doch im Irrtum zu verharren ist ein Zeichen von Dummheit.

Edit.: Our attention is not to win prices with this story, we will not reject them, but we write, because we like to. And after five chapter we are not done with the story. Thanks for the entry Kira. And thanks for spreading the word about the contest Random! Still 3.5 weeks to write, guys.
Ishtanchuk Fazmarai 2190	Posted - 2013.10.19 11:42:00 - [12] - Quote Houm, what would be a easy & dependable way to host a full length story on the internet? I don't owe any blog and posting 5,000 words at the EVE forums is totally pace-breaking. The Greater Fool Bar is now open for business, 24/7.

If you can, post the story as text instead of an image, so we can copy and paste the text and do a word count. (Have to make sure stories aren't over 5000 words). I suppose an image on imgur would work, if it's in PDF format. I can convert that to text. Last year most people posted to a blog site like wordpress or blogger, or a free website builder like webnode.com.

Telegram Sam Blue Republic RvB - BLUE Republic 1089	Posted - 2013.11.14 17:51:00 - [22] - Quote The 66 stories entered in the contest are here. Enjoy some reading and leave the writers some feedback. Judging is still in progress.... I'll just say that the entries are good, and I'm personally enjoying reading them. As in, enjoying them as recreational reading, not just as contest entries. Some stories in there that will leave you thinking about them....
Cynter DeVries Spheroidal Projections 690	Posted - 2013.11.22 18:58:00 - [23] - Quote How's the judging going? Still on track for the first week in Dec.? Cynter's Law of feature suggestion: Thou shalt not suggest NPCs do something players could do instead.

Telegram Sam Blue Republic RvB - BLUE Republic 1090	Posted - 2013.11.22 22:36:00 - [25] - Quote I believe we're on track for finishing judging the first week of December. Personally I'm almost done reading the entries. Some great stuff there-- I can honestly say I'm enjoying reading them for reading's sake.
Makoto Priano Priano Trans-Stellar State Services Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive 5483	Posted - 2013.11.22 23:09:00 - [26] - Quote Once you're done judging, would it be possible for the judges to post critiques or their reviews of pieces? I unfortunately wasn't able to give mine the editing it needed, but I'm very curious about the lore perspective on it all. :D Additionally, glad to hear about the first week of December! If it's possible to complete judging and distribute prizes before the PLEX for Good campaign ends, I think that'd be pretty nifty. ;) Priano Trans-Stellar: elegant solutions for the State's needs
Telegram Sam Blue Republic RvB - BLUE Republic 1090	Posted - 2013.11.24 02:35:00 - [27] - Quote I'll critique pieces, if writers will mail me asking for feedback. One other judge from last year did the same also. I think that's a better way than publicly posting critiques. Writing, visual arts, music and similar are hard crafts. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, all that.... So I'd prefer to privately give feedback privately, and give people the option to have the critique posted here in EVE Fiction if they like. That said.... feedback from fellow writers: I'd say we need an unified website for the fiction writers. We have people posting stories on personal blogsites. Who knows where those stories are? Who but just some friends notice them and read them? Not optimal at all. If somebody has written a piece, it should be read and commented on. I have a dream, and it's: -A solid website for EVE writers. -It has a place to post writings . Where the stories are permanently linked, and accessible forever. They don't disappear to page 29 (a lost hidden corner of the internet) after a few days. -Works published on personal blogsites can be linked and easily accessed. -A forum allows writers to speak to each other (completely troll/hater/naysayer-free). Writers can let each other know that they read the story, and offer feedback. Writing friends helping writing friends. With frank honesty, because they write too. -Significant lore discussions and developments can be linked back here to EVE Fiction, for comment and clarification perhaps by our lore guru devs. Basically, a hub that people know to go to to publish, read, and comment and share. It could be good, I think. Anybody up for making a site like that? Those are just few ideas, it could be much more than that. I'd like to myself, and might do it someday, but ATM time doesn't allow doing it right.

Seraph Essael Devils Diciples League of Infamy 207	Posted - 2013.12.04 10:43:00 - [30] - Quote Aye! I'll have some of that feedback and critique you're offering please Once of course the judging has taken place etc etc. Will be good to know what the judges liked and did not like, respectively.
