Challenge [202]: CLOSED

[crimsoncookie.livejournal.com]

Reminder:

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days has been released in North America, but the community restrictions on spoilers will still continue through the month. Happy playing!

Remember:

You're allowed to vote for yourself, but unless you think your drabble was exceptionally good, please refrain.

Remember: Pick your top three, and if you're not the one who posted the challenge, leave the challenger's vote box empty. We've already indicated the challenger's name, so if that's not your name there, don't put your vote in the challenger's box. Everyone's vote counts, but the one that gets the vote of the challenger gets an extra five points.

(First Choice: 3 points, Second Choice: 2 points, Third Choice: 1 point, so please vote the drabbles in the order that you like the most)

Also, please note that the challenger only votes in the challenger's voting box.

When voting, please put in only the number. It makes it easier for the mod to calculate results rather than constantly referring to the list of challengers. Also, I'm aware that I may make mistakes. Please inform me if I missed a challenger out.

The winner will be announced in this post so please come back to it.

Here are the writers and their entries:

1. rivercoyote's The Sun and Moon

[MOD] Changes to Community Rules

[crimsoncookie.livejournal.com]

We're making some changes and clarifications to the community rules, so please read this post. :)

1. Since the focus of the community is on drabble-length entries, we will be raising the minimum wordcount. Not to discourage anyone, but there are already excellent communities like 1sentence that focus on shorter forms. The new requirement is:

Challenge entries need to be between 50 to 600 words long.

2. There have been instances in the past few months where writers have included extended quotes of poetry or song lyrics in their drabbles. While this is a fanfiction community, the drabbles themselves need to be your own writing - especially since we run challenge contests.

So, new community rule:

Drabbles for the challenges need to be in your own words. Small intro quotations with credit are fine, but please keep extended quotations out of the drabbles themselves.

Exceptions would be traditional rhymes, word games, and other written pieces not under copyright - but please make sure even these are woven into your own writing, rather than being the majority of words in your drabble.

3. Our previous limit on external Final Fantasy characters is now lifted! Final Fantasy characters and worlds not appearing in Kingdom Hearts may now be written into your drabbles. ♥ Please make sure, however, that your drabbles are connected to Kingdom Hearts in some way, rather than reading as fic for a FF game or Disney movie.

If you have any questions, please contact me or comment to this post.
