Alright, so here's the deal. To publicize my organization, Fabula Magnus, we're doing a crappy little event. Enjoy.

WHAT IS FABULA MAGNUS?

Fabula Magnus is an organization devoted to playing play-by-post RPGs and all RPGs in general. We are all about fantasy. Visit our board! http://forum.toribash.com/forumdisplay.php?f=605

WHAT AM I DOING HERE?

Okay, you need to write us a fantasy short story. It can be any length, but it has to be good. Here are the rules:

1. No plagiarizing. It's illegal.
2. It must be in English.
3. It must be fiction/fantasy.
4. It must be readable. If your story has grade school grammar or some illegible or hard to read/put up with font, it will be disqualified.

Your deadline is April 30th. It's a long time from now, but that's on purpose. Use your time to make it a quality story.


WHAT ARE THE PRIZES?


Since we are all dirt broke, the prizes are crappy, but we do what we can:

1. 100,000 TC. May raise as we get more donations.
2. A "Good Enough Writer" medal, from me.
3. A random selection of whatever valuable items I can get my hands on by April 30th.
4. Happiness for winning something.
5. Second/third placers might get something too.

GIVE ME SOME TIPS!

Okay. And this time, I'll use bullet points!

• Use at least somewhat proper English. We like it.
• Don't purposefully make your story long or short. Make it long enough/short enough to fit the story. We don't judge the length.
• Bonus points for basing it on our RPGs!
• Use your time wisely!! You have one month. A good story can be made and refined in one month.
• Bribe us. We need donations.
• Check out our board. It's what the event is for and we'll like you for it.

WHAT DO I DO WITH MY AMAZING LITERARY MASTERPIECE?


Just post it here and we'll discuss it. A few days after April 30th, we'll give you the results.


I WANT TO DONATE!


Just send me the TC. I'm reliable. No, really. Also you'll be awarded with like, a thanks, or something.

Special thanks to Solax for donating some tc to the event bringing the tc prize up to 100,000 tc.

I'm in.

I'm participating. Can I introduce new races in the story? or should it be based on humans and elves only?

As long as it's imaginative, and fantasy-ish, it's fine. It doesn't necessarily need to be in Magnus' world (though if it is, you might get some ++ ).

I'm in desperate need of the tc so I'll give this one a try.

It's a short story, so it can't be like 4000 words right?

Length isn't something that's a big deal. It can be as long as you want, but it should be at least in the ball park of a short story, as opposed to a novel.

Gym is in

If you guys wish to talk about this event and the org in general, feel free to /join #magnus in irc. We're also recruiting by the way :)
