@Tyrhanystrasz is organizing a short story contest. You can win a Steam, Origin or Riot Gift Card valued at 10 EUR. The three best stories will be featured in The MCME Times. If you are interested, keep on reading!
This contest is a short story contest based on Arda. I know there are some people here who love to write stories related to Tolkien's world and i hope many will partecipate in this contest.
Rules
The point rating system is as follows:
Your story will be read and rated by a jury of four people. Every member of the jury will rate your story for the three criteria (story, lore and following the rules). When every member has decided on their points, the average between these members will be your final score.
You can read within any timefrime, first, second, third or fourth Age.
The story must fit within the lore. However you don't have to be a lore guru, we expect you to not make mistakes such as "Gandalf was Melkor in disguise" or "Aragorn was an Uruk". You need to respect the already established lore.
You can write about any subject: wars, adventures, politics, humor, romance, ... However try to refrain from writing adult content as this is still an all ages community.
