MoM Open House (2-2006) Challenge Closed |
| After a slow start, we now have eight stories submitted for the coveted titles of Best Overall, Adventure, Humor, and introducing, Ingenuity. Different Challenges in the future may have different categories to win in. This is the first for Ingenuity. I have given the judges for this Challenge their instructions. In fifteen days, the hard earned results will be announced. The fact that seven authors were able to create a story under such guidelines already makes them winners. Yes, we have seven authors and eight stories. This is unusual but not a precedence. It has happened before. And yes, quite legal. You can submit more than one story. ***Note*** a change in the scheduling of Challenges. Instead of a Challenge starting on the 15th of a month and ending on the 15th of a month, the time will be shifted. The Challenges will now start at the beginning of every even month, for the entire month. In other words, February 1st, April 1st, June 1st, August 1st, October 1st, and December 1st. The Challenge will end at the end of the month and the judging will begin with the results posted on the 15th of the next month. So, the next Challenge will start June 1st and end on June 30th. The results will be posted July 15th. The Challenge has been written for a few months now and I can’t wait to release it upon all of you lot. But first, let’s finish this one. |

I am terribly excited about the clue, seeing as I went out the other day to buy some more of her books.

Hmm... Agatha Christie, not in my usual choice of literature. I'm leaving now to find out who she is.
ChickenIsGood came out of the woodwork on 2006.04.16 - 12:26AM to say:
Ah... yes I do know who she is. Me thinks I'd rather just see the challenge than speculate.

Is it that time already. Again, I have missed the cutoff to submit my challenge story. When will I learn to bury my head in the sand and just write. Good luck to everyone who submitted a story. As to Agatha Christie, she is one of my favorite authors. Can't wait to see what a talented author base can come up to for that.

Heee!! Agatha Christie-style murder? This is great! It fits in perfectly with a series idea I've been kicking around thanks to reading "Justice" on this site and too many "In Death" books by J.D. Robb. I'll be settled in my new city by then as well, so it's a good time to work on a challenge. Professor Scroll, I still want to see your work! Are you still going to publish it as a non-challenge story?

Agatha Christie murder? I can't wait, she's my favourite author. And if next challenge is something similar to her "Murder on the Orient Express", I think I'll start counting the days left till 1st June. Thanks, Tom! *crowd goes wild*
Spenser Hemmingway came out of the woodwork on 2006.04.16 - 09:06AM to say:
This looks very interesting. I haven't read her books, but I have seen several of the movies. I guess that I'll have to promise not to try and kill off Spenser again. Although the Agatha Christie fans may when they see his version. Eric.

Murder - comes in many forms. *British accent* Everybody sees what they want to see. Or maybe, you weren’t looking in the right direction.

I LOVE POIROT! can't WAIT to see what this is all about and the entries. I love mysteries!

The MoM Challenge was difficult to judge. They were all good stories and I feel bad that I had to pick one over another in each category. I have an elaborate scorecard I use and there were ties in -everything-. I looked at grammar, spelling, humor, adventure, story flow, ingenuity, all that happiness. I literally had a tie in each one when I finished scoring them all. Sadly, I had to pick one. Now I feel bad for the ones that I had to bump down on my sheet. Good show to everyone that submitted.

Murder most foul, methinks.

Alright I'm really slow on the uptake on this. But the June challenge sounds like it is going to be awesome!
Potter47 came out of the woodwork on 2006.04.16 - 12:12AM to say:
Agatha Christie murder? Oh, wonderful... Murder on the Hogwarts Express, perhaps? Heh, I already used that as a chapter title... Can't wait.
