Put your keyboard skills to work and earn one of many prizes!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
​

Prompt:
Imagine that ECC was an actual city, country, or world in real life. Every chat message is said out loud; every trade done face to face, every contract rubber-stamped by “government officials” (moderators) at a building in spawn. At the top of this chain stand the top administrators; the SAs, Co-Owners, and Andrewkm. At the bottom, the rest of the users.

Write a 2+ page fictional, dramatized story, told from the perspective of a builder arriving to ECC on their first day or week.

Due Date:
May 12th, Midnight EST.
-----All submissions must be submitted through a google doc link in this thread.

Bonus Points:
Bonus Points will be awarded if you,,,
-Describe the challenge of finding a “plot” to build in
-Include standing in a really long line to get promoted to Resident.
-Convincingly include the character “Stolio”.

Rewards;
1st-3rd: a $25 ECC Giftcard
(If participation is extremely high, we will include more prizes)

Judging
Judging will be done by a panel of your peers. If you would like to assist, please DM Welikeike22 by the 10th. You may not judge if you also submit something.

Your submission will be scored based on creativity, originality, grammar and completeness.

Stories without a beginning, middle and end will face serious point deductions.

ALL SUBMISSIONS must be APPROPRIATE - PG13.

EDIT | 5/8/2020 5:25PM EST:
NO ROMANCE STORIES
​

 

In response to your suggestion we will set the minimum to 2 pages instead.

 

We've changed the 2 pages maximum to a 2-pages minimum. We don't really care too much about the formatting.

 

Up to you!

 

Go ahead!

1. Yes
2. Yes but not descriptive
3. No probably not?

4. Use him as a character or refer to him more than once.

 

This is not what I expected to receive...
