All these great pieces share a common victory in the ToM Writing Contests.
To enter, simply declare your intent on entry in this post. You will have been officially entered into the contest upon posting your first Chapter of your story in a separate thread in this board. You may go back and edit your Active Chapter up until the writing phase ends and the voting phase begins.
You are allowed 1 week for writing, and 3 days for voting.
Your story must contain typed letters, and not just a single troll-photo.
Your story has to be a minimum of one sentence long for each chapter.
At the end of the voting phase, if there is a tie, then all those writers are "marked". If any marked writer ends the voting phase in another tie, then they are eliminated.
Tardiness is not always well received, and often ends in elimination, though it is possible to enter a story late and receive punishment of being marked.
Your story cannot be prewritten. The point of this challenge is to test to see who is the most adept and versatile writer. This challenge forces you to write in a style you normally wouldn't.
If you're caught stealing your writing from another source, you'll either be reprimanded, or immediately booted.
No videos or links.
Don't worry about writing too little. If you only have time for a paragraph or 2, that's better than writing a 3 paragraph excuse for why you can't write your chapter. Just have fun, and if it's fun, everyone will have fun.
Along with the Chapter Theme, we're including a Chapter Rule!
How the theme works:
During the voting phase, everyone chooses a single word to be entered into a raffle to become the theme of the Chapter. That theme has to appear in everyone's chapter at least once. By appear, it needs to be either heavily implied that it's the theme of the chapter, or the exact word needs to be said.
With the addition of the chapter rule, during the voting phase, people will enter their proposed theme and a rule for the next chapters to follow.
The Chapter Rule applies exclusively to the writing competition. Nobody can make rules apply outside. No exceptions.
For example, say the writing phase ended, and the voting phase began, Person 1 would go to the board and say "My theme I pick is: Butter, and my chapter rule is: Nobody can use the word 'The'!"
The theme would randomly be chosen, then the rule would randomly be chosen.
If someone does not apply the theme and/or Chapter Rule to their story, they will be eliminated.
I suck at explanations, so ask any necessary questions.
Also, your chapter 1 needs to be posted BEFORE May 23rd. Good luck!

Boo... Well, I hope you can come in for the next contest. I want to see what you can do.
