Okay. Since I kind of run this whole contest, I decided to edit some prior rules. This is the Beta version of what the rules will end up looking like.
18 DAYS TO WRITE EACH CHAPTER.
ELIMINATIONS REMOVE MORE THAN 1 PERSON AT A TIME.
ANONYMOUS WRITING.
RULES AND THEMES WILL STAY... FOR NOW.
STORIES CAN BE DROPPED.
(Example: KM8 writes a My Little Pony story. He barely makes it to next round. Isn't happy. His follow up chapter doesn't have to be a part of the same story, but he can start a new story.(
NO NEW ACCOUNTS WILL BE ADDED ONCE THE COMPETITION STARTS.
200 WORD MINIMUM PER CHAPTER.
TROLLING STORIES CAN BE DECLARED VOID FROM THE COMPETITION IF 8 SEPARATE PEOPLE ALL CLAIM THAT THE STORY WAS TROLLING.
MORE RULES TO BE ADDED. BUT LOOK FORWARD TO THE CONTEST POTENTIALLY STARTING SOON.

Have I bitched about all the bitching I've gotten because of troll stories? Because I sure got a hell of a lot. Did you see what would have to be done to have the story removed for trolling? It would take 8 people. How many people even frequent ToM?!

if you did not believe that having eight people in agreement was a possibility on this forum at all, why include the clause?

8 people might be too much?

You have to figure, the trolling will have to be REALLY bad for 8 people to complain. It could be possible with enough angry people, but it's also enough to protect the stories that aren't trolling at the full extent.

How many active members do we have anyways? I feel like 4 or 5 would be better.

Does it even matter? Wasn't the only person who had a troll story that was really a problem banned?  |

So, it turns out we have two active writing competitions at the same time. Who knew‽

This is overwhelming.

A little bit.
As we have two simultaneous tournaments for some reason, please specify when you post a story whether it is for the 6th or 7th competition.
Hauskaz's entries will be assumed to be for the 7th competition, unless corrected otherwise.

I submit one story to each competition, but will not disclose their allocations.

Thank you all. I am honoured to receive this hard-earned victory. I have spent the last 10 years preparing for this moment, and it has finally paid off.
As the owner of this competition, I will make my prize administrator access over this forum effective immediately. Daryl, fork it over.
