One upside has been that between the self distancing and the incredible new Rifts books the site has had an influx of new players. So to say thank you all for joining and adding your voices to our group tales of daring do, we're doing a writing contest!!!
Rules of the contest:
- Open to players with 3 or fewer character slots "unlocked". Sorry my fellow vets, this one is for the new comers.
- Story should be a minimum of 2,000 words (measured by me using copy and paste in to MS Word).
- Story should include one of your player character from the site. (Edit: Active, inactive, or dead are all acceptable, also despite the name so are characters from non Rifts games. But must have been actually played in a game. ) If you use or reference someone else's characters let them ok the representation before final posting. Seeing your characters in another's story can either be fun and flattering if they're done right. But if they're not it can be a source of drama and trouble and no one wants that here.
- Story should include either hindrances, tragedy, loss or defeat for the character. (Does not have to be the end result, but let's show the mortality as well as the awesome.)
- Story must be completed by Friday June 26th 11:59 PM CST(US)
- Questions can go here, but the STORIES MUST BE SUBMITTED AT THE FOLLOWING LINK: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=5196
