Lore Creation Contest - Interest Check

[Zambrano the Starweird]

It has come to my attention, that in my opinion the Lore Creation Experiment located here: http://starwarsrp.net/forum/1636-lore-creation/, has been savagely underused.

Part of this, I believe, is due to the limitations imposed on us to only create lore-iful items that pertains to faction worlds, but I seek to take this limitation and turn it into a creative barrier.

I would like to organize a contest (perhaps when the event is over in about two weeks), where you, all of Chaos, will create pieces of lore just for the hell of it. Since this seems to be faction orientated, we could create a bracket between two representatives of Chaos's factions to try and one up each other with Lore submissions over a certain time period. Whoever has the higher number of quality, and most comprehensive submissions once their time is up will win. A prize will be awarded to them for both of their efforts, though the winner's prize will be more substantial.

EDIT: Creativity and ingenuity will also be a factor! Just because you can write well and comprehensibly does not mean you will win round if all your ideas are cliched and just boring, sorry to tell you

Would anyone be interested in something like this?

I just re-read the READ FIRST, things related to Player Created species and planets, as well as personal IC accounts, will also be accepted. However, player created material requires permission, so keep that in mind.

So, the faction vs faction structure will remain, but I'll also dedicate a group of non-aligned into the brackets too, should they rather delve into other parts of Chaos's lore without worry about the "political" faction aspect

This is intended to be a stress free, fun little event, and I'm hoping that people are interested!

I've been thinking I need to do some lore stuff for the Jensaarai and this could certainly get me up and working on it.

I'm not sure how much Lore I could create for the OS. But I'll keep this in mind.

 

[Fabula Caromed]

Yessss. Lay it on me, fat man.

 

[Vorhi Alestrani]

I volunteer as tribute. Just be careful, last time I made a planet, it was a god-durn thesis...

 

[Zambrano the Starweird]

Anyone else up for this?

I don't think I can justify starting this if there is only this many people interested in this sort of thing :/

I adore the idea. My only problem is that I wouldn't have time to participate myself due to personal time constraints.

I hope to see this happen though.

I would welcome a lore creation contest, though I admit that I'll be remaining neutral in any posts.

*EDIT: Boo :/ Oh well!*

I would welcome it!

As for the rest of you: [member="Veino Garn"], [member="Darth Venefica"], [member="Fabula Caromed"], [member="Vorhi Alestrani"]

Are you all definitely in? Making it a contest between at least 5 people? If that's so, do we wish to maintain the faction vs faction structure, or is everyone more independent at this point?

I would love to...but...I have a massive project in the works at the moment. Afterwards, I'll have to do a Lore submission with that. Sorry

 

[Fabula Caromed]

My interest has not waned.

 

[Vorhi Alestrani]

I'm down, but I'm independent of factions at this point in my career.

 

[Zambrano the Starweird]

[member="Darth Venefica"] Ah, I understand Perhaps if this possibly upcoming contest is successful, and attracts further attention, I might host another one for you!

As of yet however, I still don't have the amount of attention I would desire out of this interest check to consider devoting time to this mini-project :/

 

[Zambrano the Starweird]

Is there anyone out there, perhaps, that is willing to judge with me, that is not able to participate in the contest?
