It's been quite a long time since we've had some sort of contest in this forum. I'm not sure we still have enough population to support one, but actually anything involving voting is probably the best way to find out how many active writing forum members there are. BTW there would not be a physical or monetary prize, the rewards would be the votes themselves (popularity/praise) and getting others' comments on your entry.

So is anyone interested? I am thinking "write a quest including all dialogue and help text" might be a decent topic for a contest, but I'd be happy to hear other suggestions. The last time we had a contest (2005 lol) the first round's topic was a cinematic introduction to a game, with the writers required to incorporate a key phrase. The second round's topic was a profile for a character which had to fit into the same game design as the winning entry of round one. Third round was intended to be a plot summary of the game, I don't think anyone entered that round though.

I'd be up for a writing contest, whatever the topic ends up being.

I'm all for another contest
