Welcome to the Obsolete Existence Challenge Center! This is the place where you can find all the information on our challenge series on the site! You can also see all the previous and current winners that will be listed below.
So, what is the Obsolete Existence Challenge you ask? Hold your horses! I'm getting there!
The Obsolete Existence Challenge is a writers challenge. Let's face it we are all writers here. Threads are basically shorter, interactive versions of a story we have in our head that is inspired by what the person has written above them. This challenge will test your writing ability, creativity, and characterization of beloved Harry Potter characters of all eras.
Each month the admining team will be posting a challenge. This challenge is open to all members of the site and will require you to post a one-shot story in the theme of the admin's choice. You will be given a time period and a theme to go by everything else is up to you. What you write about and what you decide to do with the theme is up to you. Post your best work!
The system to determine a winner will be decided on by the members of the site. All you have to do is vote for a winner in the week period where voting is allowed. You vote for your favourite, which cannot be your own work. Send it to the Kim admin account where the votes will be tallied at the end of voting week.
**NOTE: You will only be able to vote during voting week.
You will also only be able to vote ONCE.
You will also only be able to vote ONCE.
This is a Monthly challenge. You may post your One-shot any time within the month of competition. After the month closes you will have one week to pick your fave and vote. The winner will be calculated and posted for all to see.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL! The challenges will begin shortly!
Rules:
1. You must be an active member of the site to compete. This means you must be involved in threads that are not dead on the site.
2. All stories must be posted with proper grammar and punctuation. Computers have spell check so we really have no excuse. As for chat speak...don't, just...no.
3.Stories must be complete upon posting. None of this "Work in Progress" stuff. We only want to read finished products. Wait until then to post them!
4. When posting your story, please post what challenge they are coming from. All stories must have titles as well. So when posting we would like you to put the title followed by the challenge.
EX: "Harry Potter Goes to the Moon: Challenge 1"
or something that makes it obvious what challenge it is for.
5.There is no restrictions on what tense you use. Anything and everything goes. However, please do not change the tense. If it's past tense stay in the past! That goes for P.O.V. as well. If you want to do first person, stay first person!
6. Voting is completely confidential. No one will know who you voted for and you do not have to give a reason. Voting will only be shared with admins when tallying for a winner.
***Winners will be featured on our lovely side board underneath the section "Friends". There will also be a link to the winning story.There also may be a few hidden prizes for winners.
If you have any questions please contact an admin!
Happy writing!
