"Chapter Link Contest!"
You want another contest, you say?! Well, here's your chance, with a new concept and new criteria, because, I, future author, am hosting another one!
Contest Instructions!
1. Participation Part One:
1A.You must read everything below! It is crucial to read everything that is written below, so that you can understand what to do in my contest!
1B. If you are an Author on Booksie and wish to participate in my contest, you must comment your participation in the comment box below and nowhere else!
1C. If you comment your participation somewhere else, other than in the comment box below, then I will ignore your comment and pretend that they are not there!
1D. In your comments, you must comment truthfully that you have read thoroughly throughout the entire contest page and accept them, so that you understand all of the details to this contest! Any comment without those words, will not be allowed in to participate!
1E. The deadline to enter my contest is on or before Saturday,March 9th, 2013! I will not accept entrance on Sunday, March 10th, 2013!
(~*~)
2.Type Of Contest:
2A. This contest will be made up of chapter links, that will eventually create a completed Novel!
(~*~)
3. What Will Happen:
3A. Each author who participates in my contest, will get an assigned chapter based off the order they are in when they say they are participating!
3B. For example: If you are the first author that commented to participate, then you will be assigned the first chapter! If you are the second author that commented to participate, then you will be assigned the second chapter! And so on! If you do not want to be assigned the first chapter, then don't be the first participation comment below!
3C. I will not assign you a chapter until Friday, March 1st, 2013, so I can keep things organized in case somebody drops out or something!
3D. You cannot drop out of my contest after Saturday,March9th, 2013 because then there will be problems in which author is writing which chapter! Once I assign you a chapter you must write it!
(~*~)
4. First Chapter Only:
4A. If you are assigned the first chapter, you get to choose the topic in which to write about! But, I must accept and know what the topic is before you start writing it, so make sure it is fair for everyone!
(~*~)
5. All Chapter Writers:
5A. You must be willing to read the chapters ahead of your own (as well as after your own chapter), in order to keep the Novel idea flowing! If you think that you cannot do this, then please do not participate in my contest!
5B. To make it feel as if you aren't reading an entire Novel at once, I will keep you all updated on when the chapters are updated so that you can keep up on your reading!
5C. To help in my judging the chapters for a score, as well as proving to me that you have read the chapters, you must leave a constructive comment! And as our fellow author, Archia has said in his/her miscellaneous piece called, "Review Chain" (seriously check it out if you haven't already) and I quote:
(~*~) "A constructive review is not ‘I liked it. Keep it up!’ You need to state some particular things (more than one preferably, and as much as you can) about why you liked it! Also state some things that you didn't’t like about it and why!Maybe you can, mention some things that could be done to improve it...!"
(~*~) "Some points that you could comment on: Plot; character’s; dialogue; writing styles; grammar/spelling-paragraphs, tense, commas, etc.; opening/middle/end; and anything else you can think of!
5D. I'm posting the Novel on my profile page, so read and comment everything there!
5E. Your assigned chapter, must be edited completely, before it is entered into my contest, and then, into the Novel, because there will be no going back to fix what you have entered, it will be too late, and we will need to keep the chapter links going!
5F. Your chapter does not have to be a completed thought, like a Short Story! To make it more fun and exciting/interesting, add in a cliffhanger, but only if you want to! (I like cliffhangers, so I will add points to your creativity score if you add one that I like and will make me want to read more)!
5G. Your chapter must be a minimum length of 1,000 words and a maximum length of 10,000 words! (Link: http://www.wordcounter.net/) In case you can't get a word count like me! Now, you don't have an excuse, haha! And that website is really helpful! I really recommend it to all writers!
5H. Add a title to your chapter! I will give you more points to your overall score, (more on the judging below) if you have a title (Easy 10 points there)! But I will also add points to your creativity score, depending on how creative the title is and such!
(~*~)
6. Entering your work:
6A. There will be a time limit for how long you have to write your chapter! I will give each author one week (7 days) to write, edit, finish, and send in their chapter!
6B.The first author that is assigned the first chapter will start writing their chapter on Sunday, March 3rd, 2013 and they will have until Sunday, March 10th, 2013 to write, edit, finish and send it in. I will post the first chapter on Sunday, March 10th, 2013! And it will continue in that fashion through the remainder of the contest, unless there are problems!
6C. I will post below the prize section, a sort of schedule, so you won't get confused!
6D. You do not have to post your chapter on the last day, however! If you are finished with your chapter early then tell me and I will post it! For example, if you are the first chapter, you can post it as soon as you are all finished with it. You do not have to post it exactly on Sunday, March 10th, 2013 it can be earlier than that date and after Sunday, March 3rd, 2013 at any time! I will only read them on the second Sunday!
6E. When you enter your chapter link, you must send me a link to your chapter and the word count in the comment box below! I will then copy what you have written and put it together on my profile page! When the Novel is complete, we can all advertise it on our profiles, since it is all of ours! That includes putting the Novel on all of our pages too!
(~*~)
7. Email Me (crb809@gmail.com):
7A. Email me at crb809@gmail.com if you have any questions about anything at all! The comment box below is strictly for your participation comments and your chapter link comments, nothing else!
Contest Judging!
I will again be judging this contest. If anyone would like to be a co-judge (you cannot participate in the contest) just ask me and we will work together in picking the winners! And instead of me waiting to read the Novel at the end of the contest, I will read the completed chapter each second Sunday. So I will read the first chapter on Sunday, March 10th, 2013, then the second chapterone week (7 days) later on Sunday, March 17th, 2013!
1. (10) Proper Comments:
1A. (5) Participation Comment: (You entered your participation comment in the comment box below on this contest page, you truthfully say that you have read through everything above and below thoroughly and accept everything, you entered your participation comment to my contest within the deadline, (before Friday,March 1st, 2013)!
1B. (5) Proper Chapter Link Comment: You entered a link to your chapter and the word count right along with it!

6. (10) How well your chapter flows with the rest of the Novel.
7. (10) Title.
8. (10) Reads from the other authors, whether they are participating in the contest or not.
9. (10) Comments on your Chapter:
9A. (5) Comments from you to the other authors giving a constructive comment.
9B. (5) Comments from others giving you a constructive comment (this will most likely be based off the authors that are participating in the contest. More points for you if you can get more people who aren't participating, to read your chapter).
10. (10) Number of likes on your chapter (this will also most likely be based off the authors that are participating in the contest. More points for you if you can get more people who aren't participating, to read your chapter).
Please note: For the number of reads, comments, and likes on your chapter, I will be looking at the Novel on my profile page when scoring, not your page! So all the reads, comments, and likes must be to the Novel on my profile page! If they aren't, well then your score will be low, won't it?! I must monitor all of the comments, so it is just easier for me to do it on my page instead of on yours!
Please also note: If you are asking for authors outside of this contest to comment on your chapter, they must read the whole Novel, which means start from the beginning and work there way to the end! So getall of your fans ready for this Novel, so they don't feel so behind when theNovel starts! And if you're leaving a reading request for this Novel, use the title of the Novel, not your chapter title! Make it easy for the outside author as well! Give them a link to the first chapter and make them feel welcome! Thank you!
Prizes!!!!
As my other contests have done, I will give a prize to everyone who has participated!
1. Depending on how many authors are participating in my contest (will be determined on Friday, March 1st, 2013) will be the number of reading requests everyone will get! So if there are 50 authors participating, and in the end, 50 chapters, then the first place winner will get 50 reading requests and the last place winner will get just one reading request!
2. Every place will get a fan request from me, if I am not already!
3. The first place winner will be posted on my profile and mentioned in the Novel!
