When creating a thread in the sub-forum please write in the title, whether it is a short story/poem, the name of your piece, and in brackets the two characters you are shipping. For example:
Poem - From Pathetic to Magnetic! (Ash x Paul)
Please post your entries in this sub forum.
Good luck and let the creative juices flow!
- You must write either a short story (500-1,000 words) or a poem (1-2 pages);
- You are not allowed to plagarize any person(s) work, all work must be your own;
- Anything/anyone can be shipped but if you decide to include NSFW, the characters have to be 18+;
- You can only send one entry;
- Swearing and mild sexual references are allowed but if you post on the forums for the public to view (in Writer’s Workshop), please use the appropriate prefix. Therefore we ask standard forum rules apply;
- All ships must be respected and this competition cannot be used to give negative opinions on ships;
- There are 3 themes in the last spoiler tag below, you may choose one to focus on for your short story/poem. You will not be punished in the judging process for not using one;
- The first day that entries can be sent in is the 1st August 2018 and the deadline for all entries is 31st August 2018.
- Judging will take place between the 1st and the 15th September 2018. Results will be announced on the 22nd September 2018 but this can be subject to change;
- The judging panel will be made up of 1-3 judges (moderators and above) from each of the following sections:
- Shippers’ Paradise; (@EscLucy and @Lillie)
- Writer’s Workshop; (@AetherX, @Beth Pavell, and @Misfit Angel)
- Anime and Manga. (@Cresselia92)
- Short story and poetry will be judged separately;
- The judges will read through your work, compare them with others and rank them;
- The judges will be looking for:
- A clear ship that judges can see in the piece of work - involves more than one character and it doesn’t have to be related to Pokémon;
- Basic grammar and judges must be able to understand the piece of work (direction, flow, and characters involved);
- The style of writing and the vocabulary used;
- The emotion between the characters;
- A piece that is in the word count - 500-1,000 for Short Story and 1-2 pages for Poetry.
- The judges’ decision is final.
- Blossoming Friendships - this is about two friends who become romantically attached.
- Moonlight Romance - this is about romance at night, for example, a date.
- Overcoming Obstacles - this is about two people who overcome obstacles together and strengthen their bond as a ship.
- 1st Place - Banner saying “1st Place in 2018 Shippers’ Paradise Short Story/Poetry Competition”;
- Runner-up (x2) - Banner saying “Runner-up in 2018 Shippers’ Paradise Short Story/Poetry Competition”;
