Second year was wonderful surprise. Third year means you've created a venerable institution. Congratulations! A Question: It wouldn't surprise me if many of the contestants would like to support this venerable institution. Being stand up characters (as all Capsuleers are) is there, perhaps a method in place for anonymous contribution?

Seraph Essael Devils Diciples League of Infamy 965	Posted - 2014.11.10 07:03:00 - [16] - Quote Rather busy this year, but I will attempt to set aside some time to get something sorted. Hopefully will get something typed up again as last years was fun. 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."
Telegram Sam Blue Republic RvB - BLUE Republic 1379	Posted - 2014.11.10 23:40:14 - [17] - Quote Vulxanis Viceroy wrote: Who do you send it to? You need to post the story somewhere on the internet (EVE Fiction forum, pastebin, a free blog site, etc.) So readers, other writers, and the judges can read it. Then post the URL in contest website's forum page.

You can submit multiple stories, in the same category or across categories. Each story will be judged independently of the others on its own merit, of course.

Looks like we have a Clash of the (easy-going writer) Titans brewing up. And at the same time, entries from out in the field, from heretofore not known writing forces.... Might be good to polish up your pieces. (Drackarn, I'll be linking the novella and that nice cover art on the contest webpage. You can revoke the permission you didn't give me for that, if you want.)

Nomistrav Federal Defense Union Gallente Federation 273	Posted - 2014.12.01 13:56:06 - [36] - Quote Man, really hoping there's a lot more stories stacked up waiting to be delivered here in the next few days! Otherwise, we're going to have to start advertising at Fanfest to bolster numbers Got another story submitted for this year (missed last year's somehow) and this one is very personal to me for a variety of reasons. I've been debating this story topic for just under two years now when I started thinking about it for the Pod and Planet Contest for 2012. The only thing that held me back was my limited knowledge of the lore but I decided to take a chance and go for it anyway. Here it is: Perhaps Reborn So exciting! Good luck to everyone!

Telegram Sam Blue Republic RvB - BLUE Republic 1398	Posted - 2014.12.02 00:29:59 - [37] - Quote Yeah, we had kind of a hard time getting the word out to people this year. But the stories are coming in at an accelerating rate as we got close to closing time. You guys are true writers-- the best inspiration seems to be a deadline flying toward you. Great having both returning writers and new people in this one, by the way. Check out the Reading Bank for some really excellent works from previous years. Really surprisingly excellent, in my opinion.

Telegram Sam Blue Republic RvB - BLUE Republic 1400	Posted - 2014.12.04 03:41:18 - [41] - Quote Wow, a nice pipeline wave of entries crashed down on the last day. 60 original stories total. The 8,000 Suns pushed ahead to the most entries; that ought to be an intense one. Who knows what kind of things are in there, but I'd bet it's interesting reading. Day in the Life is close behind in entries, and as always, completely unpredictable in terms of style and substance. Very nice. The Swear and Curse category evolved overnight, from a little chuckling corner, into a twice the poundage force projecting laughs into New Eden. Put your goggles on. :) Next steps for the contest: Give the judges some time to read and think. While you're at it, read your entry and the other stories. Give your fellow writer colleagues some comments. Updates on progress toward prize announcements will be posted on the contest's Updates page. Please don't forget the people who generously supported this EVE community event, ye writers. Give some of the love back, they're good ones. :) To wit: -EVE-Bet (25 bil ISK donation) -eve-games.net (5 bil ISK donation) -Crink (1 bil ISK donation) -The Angel Project (1 bil ISK) -Clueless Space Nerds podcast (1 bil ISK) one or more anonymous players (6 bil ISK) Looking forward to reading!

Missed the deadline for my own entry, but would love to get some feedback on it if ya'll got some free time and an itch to read. First time writing where I've tried my hardest to keep within canon whilst still trying to push the boundaries a little. This doesn't mean I want you guys to go easy on the criticisms, though. I take hits well, and even if I don't respond you can know I've read it! Here's my story. I'm happy to receive feedback in the post's comment section or through EVEMail.

Telegram Sam Blue Republic RvB - BLUE Republic 1429	Posted - 2014.12.14 17:25:02 - [49] - Quote The judges are still at it. Some great reading in there, by the way. Well done, writers!
Telegram Sam Blue Republic RvB - BLUE Republic 1431	Posted - 2014.12.19 02:40:16 - [50] - Quote Small update: The judges are trekking through those 50 unknown story systems. I just reached the last point, and honestly, I wish there were more ideas, tales, and reading waiting up ahead for tomorrow. I don't know of any higher critique anybody could give to you writers. Do you? I suspect judging results will be announced in the next few days. If you have time while waiting, here are 50 stories to read, think about, and give feedback as a reader/writer on. http://podandplanet.wix.com/podandplanet#!entries/cqnr It's a nice Epic Arc very well worth doing, I'd say.
Telegram Sam Blue Republic RvB - BLUE Republic 1454	Posted - 2014.12.23 01:22:13 - [51] - Quote Update: The judges have about 80% of the scores in. Having the contest run through November wasn't the first choice (unfortunately), but necessary in order to have a certain notorious judge on board (fortunately), and getting some nice prize donations from kind sponsors (fortunately). And we ended up with 50 good entries (fortunately), which required reading and rating into the holidays (unfortunately). So, considering the judges' family/travel/holiday partying commitments, it might be New Year's YC117 when we announce winners. \o/ Source: Fortunately Unfortunately by Michael Foreman While you're waiting, BBC News article, Good Omens: How Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett wrote a book How can two writers write a novel together? By both being very imaginative and cool. They really didn't know who what which in the end. Oh yeah! True to the spirit of EVE Online, I'd say. I'll of course post updates here and on the contest page as soon as they happen. o7 and happy holidays writers, judges, readers and sponorsing mates!

Since we're in the week between Santa Day and New Year's, I suspect the judges might be indisposed for the next few days. Shouldn't be much longer, though.

Writing is hard, and even if you don't get paid for it, having the completed work is its own reward. Thank you, Sam, for running the contest year after year. I look forward to entering again (and again). And thanks to the judges and sponsors for the $$$weet ca$$$h. You are true patrons of the arts. Isn't it ironic?

I can give feedback, I don't know about the other judges. I can also let you know what score you story got, if you want. Just send me an Evemail. I'll also put some observations about the entries in general on the contest website. You guys give each other some feedback too, eh? Now to coordinate with the donors to get award funds distributed. It might take a little while-- but not a month, like judging always does.
Saladiin WiNGSPAN Delivery Services 2	Posted - 2015.01.04 19:51:44 - [62] - Quote \o/ NICE, I placed! This was a fun contest, and the first of its kind I've participated in. As a side benefit, it definitely got me interested in the lore of the game, whereas before I completely ignored it. Thanks to all the judges and donors for making this contest possible, and thanks to the writers for showing me the oft-ignored lore side of the game.

Telegram Sam Blue Republic RvB - BLUE Republic 1463	Posted - 2015.01.08 01:11:10 - [70] - Quote -Zendane will be making an audio version of Kirith Kodachi's Grand Prize story "Borrowed Time." Never nice. Looking forward to checking out the finished piece at The Eve Reader Podcast -I posted some general comments about this year's entries on the contest webpage's Home page, for what it's worth. -Hold tight prize winners. I know you have bills to pay and baby needs a new pair of shoes, and we're working on getting awards distributed directly to you from the sponsors. Just an admin task, but it takes a little time.
Alan Mathison EVE University Ivy League 30	Posted - 2015.01.08 21:23:38 - [71] - Quote Sam & Folks: Thanks from me for holding and doing the contest as well! It really was great, and I am looking forward to YC117 now as well. I didn't put this out until now - only Sam knew - because I didn't want to bias the judging in any way. I found the Pod and Planet fiction contest when I arrived home from one of my friend's funerals. Kory was just a couple years younger than I was and was the husband of my oldest college friend. Kory loved science fiction, technology, and the military. He and his wife owned an RPG game company. When I found Pod & Planet I resolved instantly to write up an entry and memorialize Kory. What "The Gift" ended up being was an all-ecompassing tie-together between EVE Online and Dust514 - all of New Eden together, which I thought and hoped worked out well. For the first fiction I'd written in over a decade I was shocked and very, very happy to win 2nd Place in the Free Form category. But what was nice - and Sam agreed - was that I actually won the contest back in very late November. Allison, Kory's widow, my oldest college friend, was the first one to read the story before I submitted it to the contest. Her comment: "You pushed all the right buttons." Alan is a miner and explorer by trade. The prize proceeds will be financing two new ships when training for them is done a few months from now. Kory's wife will be given the honor of naming those ships when they're commissioned. Yea. I won. -- Alan Mathison, Proud Sophmore, EVE University The YC117 CSM Election. VOTE!

Humbled to have made the cut with all the other good stories written! Was a pleasure to read the entries too. Looking forward to the next one.
Telegram Sam Blue Republic RvB - BLUE Republic 1463	Posted - 2015.01.14 02:11:47 - [73] - Quote Update on prize distributions: All requests for prize distributions have been sent to the sponsors. Really sorry about the slow pace, it was kind of like setting up a 2009 Kernite extraction/mfging outputs spreadsheet. Award winners, your isk transfers may come from more that one source. 1 bil from here, the remaining .1 bil from there, like that. If you don't have your full prize awards by around Jan. 21, just let me know.
