- It's Christmastime, and instead of the player character coming to save Christmas, this time you have to prevent it, in order to save it!
Directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
I certainly enjoyed the narrative you concocted for your Annie-based story, but again, I'm pretty sure it would be disallowed.
Perhaps asking for Annie's permission beforehand might help you in your efforts? You could become the official Annie1227 biographer!

Nicely done Angel, looks good. If JAGEX cannot be involved for whatever reason, we'll have to do this ourselves, with only satisfaction of participation as the rewards for the winner(s). I also suggest that judges could also participate by making their own stories but cannot judge their own.
Also, if a SC/RP contest unfolds, it'd be useful if participants were encouraged to offer a little feedback of an entry of their choice, to help with interaction; those who provide a little feedback could be given a bonus point as a thank-you for their time.
Ah, I was hoping you'd pop your head in here, Azi! As you're a veteran story forumer, your input is always greatly valued in these matters. I get what you're trying to say with the judges, but with only two out of three of the judges being able to vote for you, I'd think overall there'd be no chance of you coming out on top, (that's 25 potential points you're going to lose out on- as you cannot review yourself.) An alternative might be that instead of having judges, we leave it open to the public to vote for their favourites, ranking their top three. Though favouritism might lead to it becoming a popularity contest instead of one of skill.
I agree that reviewing other people's stories would also help, and might aid in the decision making of the judge as well. I imagine you're trying to bring back the story forum tradition of reviewing all stories?
I'm sure a single bonus point wouldn't hurt in the voting process, though again, at the end of the day this would be up to Jagex's discretion, if they do decide to get on board with this.
