The first one was by Mod Mark H back in February, 2007. The entry had to be about Sir Prysin. There was a word limit, as with all contests, but since it was back in early 2007, it*s now a mystery.
The second contest held on the forums was also by Mod Mark H. This was held at the end of the year, and the entry had to be about Christmas. The word limit was 1,500 words and it had a huge attendance. It was supposed to be a December 2007 contest, but since Mod Mark H. was delayed, the winner was announced in January.
Since the split between the first two contests were so far, the stories forum wasn’t expecting another contest for a while. Then, come February here comes Mod Tron with a unique contest. We could write our entries about anything we wanted, but there was a twist. It couldn’t be any longer than 100 words. Sounds easy, but writing something with that much of a restriction is hard.
He also comes back with two more contests over the following four months, with themes being Valour and Betrayal. Since there were themes, the word limit was boosted. Then he created another 100 word ***test.
Now, recently, Mod Craddock created a contest that has been different from all the others. Each round would have a theme and a word limit. Sometimes you’d get to pick. One round, you could write anything you want, but you only had 50 words. To get 300 words, you had to write a romantic comedy, or a romantic tragedy.
Remember that contests bring us all together. Whether we host it, or enter it, it's a fun thing that everyone should be proud of, whether you win or not.
