Oh, I have a story, I'm just showing more of the ending to it.Were I allowed more words, I would have shown the actual murder too.

Also, Oni's has a good story, I predict him winning. It had all of the helplessness, the certainty she would be killed, and then she is saved.

Actually, FX is correct. Different rules apply when it come to myths and legends. What he did was re-tell and old story with his own words, not plagarized it. You see examples of this everywhere, even in modern stories and games.

Also FX, every entry tells a story.

Also, Vulcanlogic, thank you for your comment on my story. I wish all of you good luck in the contest.

THANK you Oni. It is only plagarizim if I used the exact wording that somebody else did. You can't put a copywright on the myth itself though.

Even though it is not plagerized, but I still expected more than that when he told me of it. He said it was his own adaptation of the myth, his own verson... that implies something more than just switching it to first person narrative. A third grader could do that.

But results are not yet out, so we shall see how everyone does. Best of luck to all of you.

What about all the descriptions and stuff. That's what makes it mine.

Well, yeah. I never really thought he plagarized it, I was just saying it to give him a hard time. =P

ok I was wondering why the threads for the stories were closed when Elara
stated earlier that they shoul dbe put into their own threads SPECIFICALLY so
that, aside from judging purposes, other members of the board could comment and
critique?

I was just curious and wondering a bit. *shrugs*

They are closed so that nobody can edit their stories.

I will get them up as soon as I can. I've added another judge, venomouslobster, since I am not sure that Katana will be able to get her judging done due to real world stuff. I'm also waiting on the results from Zabuza. Hopefully I will have the results by tonight.

We do have a banner for the winner at least, many thanks to TP/Squad Captain Hiro for making it for me.

Is there a runner-up banner?

Also, if you receive the results tomorrow, are you gonna move the date for the results to the 15th?

Edit: Sorry, I didn't realize that that last post was a day old.

No, only a banner for the winner... I didn't want to be too much of a bother.

I'm still waiting on the results from Zabuza. If I don't get them by tomorrow I will post what I have and be done with it.

I'm incredibly busy both at work and at school. If you just wanna judge on what I've sent to you so far, feel free. I'm sorry I can't complete all the stories, but it's just not high priority. I'm in the last two weeks of school, and I have several deadlines at work that just need my full attention.

I understand you're busy and I appriciate your help. Well... since you only sent me some of the results I can't count them for the total results (since winner is based off highest score, and that would give the ones you did judge an unfair advantage), but I will post what you said in each of those threads.

Anywho, so I guess these arre the point totals. I will be posting in each thread with the results for the judges, and the winner shall be PMed the banner as soon as I am done.

Results are out of 120 points possible, since only two judges got results for all stories in:

Resist by Makura
Total points: 111

Paying the Gallows by GuardianOni
Total Points: 108

Blood by Cairoi
Total points: 95

On the Moonlit Path by WhiteRose
Total points: 88

23 by X Marks the Spot
Total Points: 88

Caine by Vulkanlogic
Total points: 86

Orpheus Goes to Hades by FX
Total points: 41

So it seems that congratulations go out to Makura! I'll take a look at your layout and send the right sized banner.

I hope you all enjoyed participating, I enjoyed running this (mishaps with lateness in results aside). I invite you all to submit an entry next year, and bring more people with you. Next year's competition shall have a limit of 2000 words I think, to make it easier for everyone... or harder. Anyway, I thank you all for participating.

Also, thank to to my fellow judges and to TP for making the banner, as well as to Xeo for running this awesome board.

Wow, you know, I knew I wasn't going to win, but I'm glad to see I did this good.

I knew it was redundant at points and all, but it was one of my stream of conciousness things, I just wrote until it was over, spellchecked and slapped it on.

Good job, Makura and GuardianOni, I felt you two did much better than I, you deserved where you were placed.

I'd like to think I did well for my age and the amount of work I put into it.

Wow. Just a little bit too late. And I was just about to (re)submit my Tragedy of the Witches in for this. Oh well.

Well, the deadline for submission was the 10th, so it wouldn't have made it in anyway. Next year though, I would be happy to see it entered.

YES!

I totally tied Cairoi for 4th place. I never really expected to even do that well. Anyway, yeah. I was fun to participate and all. I will most definately have an entry next year.

Oops... I had edited my post earlier because I had miscounted WhiteRose's results and I edited Cairoi's instead. Cairoi got a score of 95, and you tied with WhiteRose for 4th place.

Everyone is listed in order of point totals. WhiteRose is higher up because, overall, her story got better results. But yes, congratulations on getting 4th/5th place.
