In Another Life Fiction Forum Presents:

The "Falling for You" Story Challenge #1

In Another Life is excited to announce our first ever story writing challenge! One winner will be picked and will receive notoriety of being the winner of the first ever challenge and a specialized banner that he or she may keep forever!

This particular story must be three (3) to five (5) chapters long (three being the minimum and five being the maximum), rated General (similar to PG-13), a Romantic Comedy, a Cast Fiction, and centered on Fall/Autumn. Also, be sure to include your story header and a word count, though not mandatory. (Please click on the words in bold for more information.) If you’d like to make a banner for your story, you can! But, the banner will not earn you more points and you still must follow the Banner Rules. If you do decide to make a banner, be sure to place it at the top page of your first chapter only!

Now, this is a challenge after all, so to make the story more exciting and of course, challenging, we, your wonderful Administrators, decided to come up with a few things that are to be incorporated in your story (a minimum of 6 is allowed):

The judging of stories will be done by the Administrators only! All three administrators will read and judge each and every story and will come together for final decisions. And remember, guidelines and rules of the Challenge that have been made by us, the Administrators, are all final at this point! Nothing will be “changed” or altered.

There are 200 possible points from each three judges, making a total of 600 possible points. Below, is a list of what each judge will be judging on and the points you may be entitled to:

1) Was it a CAST FICTION? – 25 points
2) Was it written for GENERAL READERS (No more than a PG-13)? – 25 points
3) Creativity: 1 – 15

The Challenge officially begins August 3rd, 2006 and the deadline for the Challenge is September 3rd, 2006, 11:59 PM, U.S. – Central time. All entries (stories) must be emailed to Tempted Saint ([e-mail]), Reddevil ([e-mail]) and Sith Bitch ([e-mail] ) with IAL CHALLENGE in the subject! Be sure to include your User Name in the email either before your story or after so that we may know who the story belongs to. The stories are not to be posted until they have been judged and a note is sent to the author!

Though, this is a Challenge and some what a “competition”, remember that writing is fun and we are all good sports in this!

Good Luck and Good Writing!

Sincerely,

The In Another Life Administration
