CBUB February 2013 Challenge

[Fox]

February

 

The Premise

 

Monthly, a writing challenge will be posted on this portion of the forums. Anybody who wants to write on the CBUB is able to participate. To participate simply create a match that follows the challenge rules to the CBUB main page. Then post a link to that fight on this page. Only one entry per contestant. There will be a two week deadline to post your match. Miss the deadline? Better luck next month. Special judges will pick their favorite matches based on creativity, uniqueness and all that writing mumbo jumbo. The Top Three winners will be announced here with the main winners fight going to the Official CBUB Hall Of Fame board as the writer of the month.

 

The Judges

 

Treacherous, Ruinus, Culwych come to mind, but any past winners that want to judge, pm Treacherous.

 

The Deadline

 

February 3 - February 17

 

 

The Challenge/Rules

 

This is February, Valentine's Day is coming up in a few weeks. There's been a few cool suggestions, such as xLEGACYx's suggestion of two people fighting over the love of another person. You can do that... or you can do anything else as long as it is related with love or Valentine's Day. Two enemies falling in love? Go for it. Two people fighting for the love of another? That's cool too. It doesn't even have to have a happy ending, you want to write how someone turns to villainy over an unrequited love? That's cool too. Love and heartbreak is this month's theme.

Look at that, $150 in prizes. Go over to the Theme Pool thread and suggest something so we can put up a challenge and a deadline.

[Culwych1]

Once again FoxFingers you demonstrate your generosity and dedication to getting these tournaments going. Thank you.

 

All, as Ruinus says... get onto the theme pool so we can get this show started!

[Guest Ruinus]

Updated the challenge and deadline rules.

[DSkillz]

Cool! I actually have an id---

 

Uh, yeah, lemme shut up until I actually put up an entry. <_>

[Guest Darxeth]

I'd participate, but I have no more points to make a set-up with; recently spent them on my first match. Go figure, lol

[corvette1710]

You realize they come back when your match ends, right?

[Guest Darxeth]

Now I do. Thanks for informing me. :]

[C.T.]

I'm in.

[DSkillz]

I'm in.

 

I don't think bromances count, bruh.

[C.T.]

What I'm writing isn't going to be a bromance. It's set in the Avatar universe. And not the James Cameron one, the master all four elements one.

[xLEGACYx]

I think I'll enter this one. Its hard to be competitive in the challenges. You all write such interesting and lengthy matches. I usually have a page to a page and a half typed for my official matches. I'll have to up my game here.

[Xenerack5]

Ill throw my hat in the ring.

[Guest Shockwave]

Considering that I was thinking about something about romance vs being true to yourself, yeah I'm in.

[C.T.]

I didn't see anything about it but just to be sure, there's no word limit or something is there?

 

I'd hate to do this and be disqualified on a technicality.

[Guest Ruinus]

No, no word limit.

[C.T.]

Awesome.

 

4,000 words and counting.

[Z451]

Good timing, and a chance to compete against Nova, heh... too good to be true.

[xLEGACYx]

[treacherous]

Awesome.

 

4,000 words and counting.

 

There is a No Word limit for you and it better be good.

 

Edit: and by no word limit I mean you're basically not allowed to write (and it better be good regardless). Good luck.

[C.T.]

[treacherous]

The billboard said I'm Lovely!!

[C.T.]

Ok, my match is up. Too sappy. And corny. But hey, isn't that the point of Valentine's? Hehe. I enjoyed making it though and that's what is most important, right?
