Between the Shadow and Soul by Ruevian won the Writing Spotlight! She wasn't at the estate. She was in Hope, where she truly belonged. It was okay. It had to be okay. The ghostly ache of her scars throbbed once more in resentment, then faded into numbness.

Site Contest Rules: September 2021

Site Contest Rules:

These rules stand for all current running contests, but please make sure to scroll down to each category and check out their own specific rules! If you still have questions, please feel free to ask theme here.

- Contest begins on September 6th at 12:00 PM CHT and ends on September 19th at 12:00 PM CHT. This is the same time period for users to browse and cheer entries. We will announce the winners on September 20th. (This means you should not post your entries until the contest begins on the 6th!)

- Include an excerpt or tagline that is about 100 characters long. This will be your leading quote shown in the Spotlight feature!

- Entries must be posted within the appropriate category. Entries posted in the general Site Contest Forum may be disqualified.

- Entry must be your own, not taken or copied from another person.

- Please only post one entry per category at most.

- Entry must be in English. Typos and mistakes won’t disqualify you, just please don’t submit an entry in another language.

- “Joke” entries are not allowed. Please feel free to use humor, so long as it’s not mockery (like an "I hate the Mods!" shirt) or laziness (like a scribble of no shape in particular, or a blank black box).

- Entry must be "complete" when posted, meaning that you should not add to your entry after posting it initially. Minor edits, such as a typo or a small color correction are fine, but adding to the entry may disqualify your entry. You can feel free to submit an incomplete "piece" of an overall story, comic, etc. as that is not against the rules.

- No “bump” posts (made solely to push your topic to the top of the page) or “quest” posts (made solely to fulfill an Hourly Quest) are allowed.

- Please only Cheer once per person, not account. We may disqualify entries that use secondary accounts to Cheer themselves.

- Entries will be judged by number of Cheers from users. In the event of a tie, moderators will Cheer for the tied entries.

- Any failure to comply with these contest rules may result in disqualification. Failure to comply with the standard site rules will result in the appropriate warning, Forum muting, account lock, or ban.

- Winners will receive the exclusive In the Spotlight Achievement and may be included on our Spotlight feature for the logged out Homepage! Winners will also receive the Spotlight T-Shirt and Spotlight Showcase, the latter of which can be given to your Kith over and over again for additional ability points! Finally, each winner will also receive 100 Gems!

Game Contest!

This month's theme is High Scores and Tall Tales! Screenshot your best high scores - or your funniest - and brag about it! Or tell us a tale with a shot of how your Kith prefers to play - like, how exactly do they hold the basket in the new Trash Catch game? Remember that winners are determined by Cheers, not by the numeric high score.

- Include a screenshot of any games on Tattered World. Unlike other game contests, this does NOT have to be a real score! Bonnie wants to hear your tall tales, true or not!

Writing Contest:

This month's theme is High Scores and Tall Tales! Bonnie wants some good, fresh content for sea shanty night to share with her crew, so let's hear what you've got! Write about a Tattered World story that seems too good to be true, whether it's about the origins of the new Merfolk featured in Trash Catch or a deep dark secret from the pirate coves... or something completely unexpected!

- Include an excerpt from your story that is about 100 characters long. This will be your leading quote shown in the Spotlight feature!

- Entries can take any form of written story, as long as it relates to Tattered World. This includes stories, poetry, interpretations of existing lore, original theories, original characters, “news” articles, and more! We only ask that if it is an illustrated story that the main body of story telling is done with written word. 

- Entries should be no longer than a single Forum post. You can enter an excerpt from a longer piece of writing and link to the rest of the full piece, but your entry will be judged on the excerpt only.

- Please indicate at the bottom of your entry whether or not you approve permission for us to share your entry via official Tattered World social media. If you have your own social media, you can provide a link for us to share so that you get the credit you deserve. You do not have to approve permission to enter the contest. This will not be taken into account when determining the winner.

So, we can photoshop an obviously fake score? Can we also fake some other things in the game?

[@Taiga] Sure, go for it! This month's contest is specifically about exaggeration, so have fun with whatever wacky ideas you come up with :D

I wanted to take part in the writing contest so......
Does it really have to be a maximum of 100 words?
Umm... is it okay if it is a tinny tiny bit more like 350?

[@Rosette Red] The maximum character count is what will fit into a Forum post, which is almost 10,000 characters! The "max of 100 characters" is for an excerpt from your entry, which we will use on the front page to feature your entry if it wins the contest. :) Hope that helps!

We can't cheer for our own entries right?

[@Pandaslowpoke] That's correct, and includes using secondary accounts to cheer for entries. For example, I use this account for administrative parts of the site and I have a different account that I use for playing as a 'regular' user, so I cannot cheer on both accounts or those cheers will be disregarded in the final count.
