    I have to be honest, I thought it would be a nice little community driven fun little competition/giveaway.
    well canned or not, I'll still post mine and I hope the others do as well. It will be fun to see what people can come up with regardless.

    I do understand that there is an investment in giving stuff away that, for the site, needs to have some kind of return, but perhaps you can split the competition, to either create some fan art, or write a story, and you can even add some other categories like draw a humerus fan comic strip- (even as simple as "cyanide and happiness"), using one of the IPs or game characters, or take a photo doing a bit of cosplay. I don't know, I'm sure we can think of some things that will cater to different peoples strengths and encourage participation, rather than just gifting the whole thing.

    I kinda like this idea. I'm good at drawing, so the comic/fanart would be ideal for me. I thought I had an awesome idea for a story, but realizing it is proving a bit tough. I'm still trying though [emoji14]

    Guys, if you don't get your entries in I'm going to write a shitty little poem that would make a Vogon cringe, and then claim the prize for myself.

    Lol, I am going to win , don't you worry. Just checking my completed story for inconsistencies... I'm a bit of a perfectionist

    Okay, I'm out. To be honest the lack of participation has killed my enthusiasm, and I don't want to be in line to win a prize that is leaving a sour taste in the mouths of those who are sponsoring it.

    There once was a man called Saint_Dee
    A writer he thought he could be
    But something went wrong
    coz he waited too long
    So the prize ends up going to me.
