Story Contest XI Rules

[Duce]

Theme: A hard day's work

Deadline: October 1st EXTENDED

How to Enter:  when you submit your story add it to the "Story Contest XI" category AND any other categories it belongs to.

Theme: A hard day's work

Description: Using any series, one preferably action heavy (Code Geass, Black Lagoon, Devil May Cry, etc), we have the girl (or girls if the series has multiple hotties kicking butt) having another typical day of this and that, and ending it with a nice relaxing visit to the toilet.

Example: Structure would be similar to my Case Closed story, in that the story must play out as though it were a lost episode of the series but with the usual nyou-story charm of course

Sorry if this question has already been answered elsewhere, but video game series are fair game for this contest, right? I see that Devil May Cry is mentioned in the description, but the mention of a "lost episode" structure made me wonder.

I cant see why not one could use video games.

Just a simple turn of phrase. Basically it means like a removed scene from a story,  given that novels rarely do 'here's an event that you didn't see during the trilogy'. But if you've a Devil May Cry story in mind, I'd love to see it.

Actually, it's Soul Calibur (I'll let people speculate as to which characters). I just hoped that the DMC mention meant that video games were allowed.

So could this be like the ending of a video game (like "Super Metroid" or "Super Princess Peach") written up and followed by a restroom scene?

I guess that would work, since it follows the whole layout of a toilet scene conclusion. (And I would assume that the video game endings have enough action for this contest.)

I have another question, since now I have an idea for this contest that I really like.  The descriptions says "using any series," but can it be an original series instead? 

I'm asking this because I have a mostly written story that could fit the category with a little rewriting.  The finished version would show a magical girl who drives ghosts from haunted places for a living (sort of like a miko or an exorcist) tackling an expecially difficult job and afterwards enjoying a nice "rest" in a restroom. 

What do the judges say?

Hmm.....

*Gives thumbs downs, camera pulls out to show a mime then being mauled to death by a pack of lemurs. Turns around to read.*

Sure, why not? A good idea would be to have her already in mid-case then go to another, that way you can really show her usual work day.

That's not exactly what I have in mind, but I do have something unexpected in the plot that should score points with the readers.

As for a status report, I have the action written but still need to write the character and potty scenes.

[Poowrite]

Cool, lookin' forward to what and the other entering authors cook up

[Jimmy Olsen]

Are you entering?

[Poowrite]

Yeah, I'm planning on it.

[OrpheumZero]

I should be writting my entry soon, look for it in the next couple of days (heck, maybe even later this evening).

By the way, Duce, do I need that medal picture to add my fifth win? Or do I simply add the award to make it appear?

[Poowrite]

I started mine today. Got about a page and a half done, though that is mostly dialog. I have a simple outline, though, so hopefully it won't take me to much longer.
