Saviours Update #33 - 2nd July 2010
Yeah, so a few things kept me from doing this last weekend, but hopefully, I can make amends and get this all sorted now :P

We've not done too badly this time around, with more activity keeping me on my toes, I suppose. Say hello to Sir-Nuts, as he displaces DuMa-RyoHahn to take his place in the top 150. DumbassDude moves up to the top 100, in the place of Tex2002ans, with no new entries for the top 50 this time around. Poor NEVR looks like he's going to yo-yo between 100th and 101st for a few months...

Try to keep it to your own work - we want original characters and concepts, because anyone can write fanfiction, using someone else's settings and characters. Look at Russell T. Davies, for example :P

Granted, we will borrow heavily from the genre and examples such as Back to the Future, Wells' The Time Machine, Bill & Ted, Quantum Leap, Dr. Who and so forth, but try to put your own original touches in, that's where the marks are. There is going to be a certain amount of cliche here, but I'm personally looking for people that use it to their advantage, as opposed to putting it in there for the sake of it.

You've got some time to think about what you did wrong with your reviews - short and shit has never been good, if you're getting noticed in the lists.

At 7/2/10 05:18 AM, domo48 wrote: But why is it in the where is/how to? forum

Because we don't have a stats forum. That wouldn't work, anyway.

I guess it's from people asking "How can I find who has the most [stat]s?", which over time has produced all of these lists.

That's basically what we're aiming for. The problem is if the judges all have to deal with a dozen Back to the Future fanfics, it's going to get mind numbingly boring.

Now I've got to keep on building and catch me a Phantom, before really starting to set my sights on the mighty Bahamut.

Entries Thread

Okay, I was joking, the subject is Back to the Future / Time Travel.

No fan fiction, or so help me god!

Great Scott!

I feel a little explanation is required here: On the 3rd of July 2010, it will be the 25th anniversary of the cinematic release of Back to the Future. Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd graced our screens in Robert Zemeckis' cult classic, which spawned two sequels and actually made people care about the iconic car, known as the DeLorean DMC-12.

Also, this month is the 115th Aniversary of the publication of "The Time Machine", by H. G. Wells, so that ties in nicely as well.

ENTRY THREAD

All official entries must be submitted here. No linking to your story hosted elsewhere. No discussion whatsoever in this thread. All discussion for this competition must take place in the: DISCUSSION THREAD

----------------------------------------

DISCLAIMER

Please read through the entirety of the opening posts and familiarize yourself with the rules and regulations of this competition. All participants must comply to the rules listed below, as they are final. Failure to comply will result in disqualification from the current competition.

MWC10: July : Back to the Future

Another wide brief is given for you writers thins month - just think how lucky you all are! There must be some element of time travel in you piece, but how you incorporate this is up to you. You essentially have three choices:

1) Travelling to the past
2) Travelling to the future
3) Travelling to the present, but in a parallel universe

The main issue is that you are required to avoid plagiarism - we do not want fan fiction works here, because it is highly unlikely that you would get professional work in writing a sequel. Create your own characters and plots, as this is what will earn you acclaim here from the judges and reviewers.

THEME RULES/RESTRICTIONS
1) Your piece must involve time travel in some way, shape, or form.
2) Minimum Word Count: 1,000 Words
3) Maximum Word Count: 5,000 Words

DEADLINE
Saturday, August 1st 0500hrs EST. I will be online at that time, so therefore the thread will be locked at that point.

Prizes
1st) $30 Newgrounds store credit.
2nd) $30 Newgrounds store credit.
3rd) $30 Newgrounds store credit.
4th and 5th) Honourable mentions.

SUBMITTING

1) Please ensure you have proof read your submission before posting it. There are plenty of decent writers on here that have offered services for proofing
2) Post your stories in this thread.
3) Do not post revisions in this thread. They will be deleted.
4) You may submit one story only, one time. Posts will not be deleted at your demand so make sure your work is perfect before posting here.
5) Entries should be posted concordantly in the thread. Don't post the first part, then leave it three days before posting the next, as this makes judging more difficult.

MWC RULES

1) Contestants may submit exactly one entry. No more. Users found trying to smart ass their way around this rule will be disqualified from this and an arbitrary number of future competitions to be agreed on by the judges. (You are your alt and vice versa)
2) Users caught posting writings which they do not own will face imediate disqualification from this and any future contests. That means don't try to pass other's work off as your own, you will fail and we'll all hate you!
3) Users must submit on or before the given date. NO EXCEPTIONS!
4) You must follow the rules of this BBS. If you have a question about whether you will be breaking them, contact a moderator.
5) HAVE A BUNCH OF FUN! OR ELSE!

GETTING REVIEWS

The judges do not HAVE to review your work and give you a detailed critique, there are too many entries in most contests for that to be a plausible option.
You have the following options none the less:

1) I highly recommend that you review someone else's work, in that way, they may return the favor. ;)
2) There is both a writing club & and writing guild in the Clubs & Crews section which is there as an open forum for writers to post their work.
3) PM the specific person you would like to review your work and hope they will.
4) Post a link to a newspost on your user page which contains your story again, in either the discussion thread or at the end of your official submission in this thread.
5) Mingle with the people in the writing forum. It's the hip new place to be.

JUDGING

Judges will be as follows:

Coop83
Deathcon7
sinfulwolf
InsertFunnyUserName
Makeshift

For all Monthly Writing Contests from now on, if you have suggestions for themes, comments on the judging process, wish to become a part of the judging team and so forth, please post it in the Monthly Writing Contest HQ

Okay, here's the discussion thread for the new Monthly Writing Contest. Stand by, a new contest is about to be launched, but I'm not telling you what it's about, so nya-nya :P

At 7/1/10 10:43 AM, Makeshift wrote: I could do it. I've already read through most of this month's entries just for fun, so I'd have the time to do it. I'm just debating on whether or not I want to participate in the contest this month. I suppose it will depend on the theme.

I'm sure that a little light reading of this thread could tell you :P

But I'll throw you onto the list - we now have all 5 judges :D

I'd like to think that the British are perfect Gentlemen - The Americans went to war, because they wanted oil. When a former colonial company just up and gave it to them, they had to find some other way to complain.

You can't tar us with the Brush that the Welsh are supposed to be civilised. Attempting to procreate with sheep is hardly what we'd call civilised.

Neither is interbreeding, but that never stopped Norfolk :P

Maybe this is your year - Brazil, Uruguay and then Argentina for you :P

The semi-final seems to be a rather easy one on paper, but I thought the same thing about the quarter-final against Russia two years ago (which we lost 3-1).

Yeah and the same thing was said about Federer in the quarter finals at Wimbledon :P

And you guys got a great team on paper. I heard a lot of English people wanna see Capello and the players leave, but I don't see who they want to replace the players for.

My dad was talking this over with me - he said that Aston Villa would have done better as a team than England. He picked on the Villa, because they're mostly English in their squad, though I did point out that we'd have no goalie :P

Well at least you would have a real team already and not a bunch of selfish glory hunters scraped together.

Perhaps that's where the England managers go wrong - afraid to drop the prima donas.

Lol. Well he is behaving himself quite well in the WC so far, but I wouldn't like to see him win either. If he does I think he will never shut-up about it.

He's the footballing equivalent of Axl Rose - too mouthy. He told Pele to fuck off to the museum. Perhaps he should consider the same thing? After all, he's only remembered for being a cheat in England.

You're talking about that hand ball that won them the match right?

He's too mouthy indeed and he behaves much more like a player than a coach.

We'll see - he now has a platform to be a gobby twat, so he should be an awesome manager :P

Yeah, but don't let that fool you - some of the songs close to it in length are busts. City Hall, by Tenacious D is only that long because of arsing about from Jack and Kyle.

Seriously, I have 4 tracks all at 10+ minutes on my iTunes and I knew they were all going to be good before I listened:

10.14 - Pay The Man; Offspring
10.51 - Trapped in the Drive Thru; Weird Al
11.59 - I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That); MeatLoaf
13.34 - Rime of the Ancient Mariner; Iron Maiden.

I don't think that 10 minutes is the benchmark for pure awesome. Weird Al has done better and the same can be said for MeatLoaf. Let's look at some slightly shorter ones:

9.07 - Eve of the War; Jeff Wayne
9.45 - Objects In The Rear View Mirror...; MeatLoaf
9.50 - Bat Out Of Hell; MeatLoaf
9.54 - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son - Iron Maiden.

Particularly with the longer tracks here, would a few seconds of silence at the end or an additional few drum beats have made them any better? I doubt it very much.

Conversely, the shortest track on my repertoire is "Spam Song", by Monty Python, clocking out at a mere 33 seconds. It's still awesome.

Yeah, it's all of you users with the same amount of reviews - for some reason, the spreadsheet got the new rank numbers confused. Still, it matters little and has now been fixed for next time.

Thanks for another update coop. it might have been much better if ART reviews/responses were along with it :(

Now you know as much as I do X, that this list was created by Afro_Stud as a Flash Responses list, before the stats for Audio Reviews were visible, so another list would need to be created.

Perhaps like you say, a total responses list could be made. Man, that would be a mother of all lists, plus I'd be pretty high on it, with about 1,800 Responses to date from Flash, Audio and Art.

Oh well, it's only Family Guy. :P

Fuck that, it's my birthday present!

But it's only Family Guy. :P Now if it were Futurama, I'd complain to HMV.

Regardless of what it is, it's still my present!

Maybe this is your year - Brazil, Uruguay and then Argentina for you :P

And you guys got a great team on paper. I heard a lot of English people wanna see Capello and the players leave, but I don't see who they want to replace the players for.

My dad was talking this over with me - he said that Aston Villa would have done better as a team than England. He picked on the Villa, because they're mostly English in their squad, though I did point out that we'd have no goalie :P

Well, that only really leaves Argentina and Germany - Brazil aren't as strong as they used to be, though they have got the Dutch next...

I can see them winning from us and in the semi-final they would have to face Uruguay or Ghana. Difficult opponents, but probably not as difficult as having Germany or Spain. So I think they can make it to the finals at least, although I am hoping for Holland of course.

Well, we'll have to see - no game is predictable, except maybe Portugal / North Korea ;)

Today's games, I'll be going for Paraguay and Portugal.

Portugal? I hope not. I don't like Portugal much to be honest. Mostly because of Christiano Ronaldo, but they got a lot of dirty players as well. I prefer to see Spain win.

I'm glad they're out, to be honest. They don't deserve to win, with a cheating player like Ronaldo playing for them.

I agree with you on Paraguay though. Japan is a good team, but Paraguay seems more solid to me.

So close, so much for Japan's mastery of the Jabilani

They haven't won yet - I don't want to see Maradona win as coach.

Lol. Well he is behaving himself quite well in the WC so far, but I wouldn't like to see him win either. If he does I think he will never shut-up about it.

He's the footballing equivalent of Axl Rose - too mouthy. He told Pele to fuck off to the museum. Perhaps he should consider the same thing? After all, he's only remembered for being a cheat in England.

Seriously, go talk World Cup in the World Cup thread.

Because it's a lounge?

Yeah, I enjoy that too, though I haven't in quite some time. There are some nice bluffs here that gives a nice thrill. What about skydiving? I'm sure you'll love that; falling to Earth at 60 mph.

Did I mention that I was afraid of heights. It's kind of a little white lie - I'm afraid of hitting the ground... at speed. That's what kills you, or puts you in traction.

Oliver Kahn said after the match: "Maybe I should've put my sport bag into the goal. It might have saved a shot or two." ^^

The way we played on Sunday, had we got another shot on goal that beat the keeper, a bird would likely have flown past and kept the ball out :P

Didn't something like this happen at a baseball game? Poor bird, good thing Neuer saved all of the other shots. Not only did he helped to win the match but he also saved a poor birds life. XD

Yeah, the ball got hit to centre field, the birds took flight, one of them got clunked by it. The centre fielder lost the ball and it sailed past him, allowing the D'Backs to win. I'm sure it was Arizona.

Congrats on that and the new level up, its badass.

Thanks - I love the way it fits with the aura as well :D

You'd be banned if you did ;)

Que?

Sorry, we don't allow threads in any other language than English - it makes them prone to abuse.
