Random Contest : Short Story Jamboree

[stampsyne]

http://www.neopets.com/spotlight_subs/r ... test.phtml

Info and Rules:
Well, we all know there are tons of books in Neopia for your pet to read. Some are funny. Some are sad. Some are just plain looney. But we really don't know since our Neopets seem to be the only ones who can actually read them. Then they gloat and that's not cool.

So, what we'd like you to do is to choose a Neopian book and tell us what's inside! If your Neopet has read it, they can probably help you. Or... you could just make it up. We don't think anyone would know the difference.

Put the name of the book you chose as the title in the form below. Then write your story in the box! Don't make it a novel. We'll have lots of stories to judge, you know. But don't make it 3 sentences long. That's not interesting and we'll die of boredom. Make it just right. We don't know what that is really so hopefully you'll figure it out.

EDIT: Ends Wednesday March 6th.
Seems to be a 500 word limit now

Congrats to the Negg winners!

[vtothec]

I dont quite understand what you are meant to do...a book report?

[DraikNest]

I dont quite understand what you are meant to do...a book report?

No... make a short story about a book on neopets since the books in neopia have no... pages.... or words... you have to make it up based on the cover...

And btw, this gets my vote anyday

[CrewWolf]

Hm. I wish they'd give an idea as to how many words more or less that they want. I'm guessing about as long as a NT short story?

[stampsyne]

I was lucky to have a story already written. Over 1000 words for TNT, but submitted it here instead. It was accepted jsut fine.

I did a really good one, I don't want to say it though, may get stolen. I will tell you when the entering deadline is over

[CrewWolf]

Hey, anyone got some books they recommend or suggest or possibly even request done? No need to give ideas, just the title of the book and the description.

[Twizzler0171]

Oooh, I could probably do this one. I'll start working on it right after I finish my Pink Ink article - that definately is definately more important. I'll have to look at the titles of some of the books and see what I can come up with...

Hm. This is now four stories I need to do. Interesting.

[Muse]

YES! WOOOHOOOO! Even though I already have the avvy, I'm gonna soooo enter this one. I love to write, and I even wrote an article for my county paper once. TNT better watch out for mine...mwahahahahaha

All hail Rune!

This sounds pretty interesting. I might enter. I'm considering doing a story for the "Hannah and the Pirate Caves" book, or maybe one of those Acara books ("Acara Facts", "Terrific Acaras", etc.)

[Chakra_]

Haha... I guess i wil enter this time around. Thanks for the books.

[jabond102]

I like the books a lot so I think I will try this one out. I think I will write a story for a more rare book though. Maybe neo will do what powerpets did . Then we can read the books. I hope this isn't an april fool!

[Cranberry]

I may actually try this one. When do they stop accepting submissions?
