Lisa J here to bring you yet another Technicolor contest! This time, it's mixing fan fiction with trivia. Don't like the idea? Let me entice you with:
Grand Prize: 1 complete PR season encoded (Pick from MMPR Season 1 – Zeo) plus half of Turbo (aka before the cast change)
And if a member of Technicolor wins (a member at the time of this post), they'll get: 2 complete PR seasons (Pick from MMPR Season 1 – Zeo) plus half of Turbo (a.k.a before the cast change)
--------------------------------------------------------
Let's get down to the rules, guidelines, criteria, yadda yadda:
Requirements for Participation
- Must be a member of either Rangerboard or the Frankly Jason Forums.
Guidelines
1) The fic can be about anything but must incorporate the correct answers to the trivia questions into the story.
2) The fic must not exceed 300 words.
3) The fic cannot come from a chapter from a bigger series or cannot be written as a chapter for a bigger series. The fic must be self-contained from beginning to end. In other words, it must have a beginning and ending all on its own.
4) All entries must be submitted before Sunday, September 18th, 2005 @ 11:59 pm ET. No late submissions. Period. The winner will be announced Sunday, September 25th, 2005.
Rules
1) One entry per participant.
2) Entry must be in .doc or .rtf format. Include your RB or FJ Forums nickname and the title of the fic at the top.
3) All entries must be uploaded onto a web server (Yousendit.com, Megaupload.com, etc.) and then PM the link to War (on RB) or Lisa J (on the FJ Forums).
4) The following are strictly prohibited:
- Plagiarism
- Publicly posting the fic before the submission date.
- Teaming up on one fic. One author per fic.
Criteria
I will be grading your fic (at increments of .5) on 4 different categories:
1) Correct answers – 4 points: One point for each correctly answered trivia question that is integrated into the story.
2) Grammar – 4 points: If I can’t read the fic without tearing my hair out, consider your entry disqualified.
3) Originality – 4 points: Think outside the box. Since the fic can be about anything (as long as the answers to the trivia questions are somehow in your story), be creative. Does the fic have to be about Tommy or JDF? No. Does it have to happen in the PR universe? No. With that said though, don’t go crazy with other shows like Buffy, Angel, or some random sci-fi C-grade drama program either. Most likely, I will not know what characters you’re writing about, and most likely will not care.
4) Overall – 4 points: Self-explanatory. Odds and ends that don’t fit in the other categories plus the overall.
The points will be tallied up, and the participant with the most points wins! Then the participant will PM me to decide whether to receive the full season plus half of Turbo via snail mail (lots of CD-Rs) or download (lots of downloading).
Again, all entries must be submitted Sunday, September 18th, 2005 @ 11:59 pm ET. Please upload the entry onto a web server (i.e. Yousendit.com, Megaupload.com, etc) and PM War (RB) or Lisa J (FJ Forums) with the link. No late submissions.
