If you have other commitments do them first. Here's some advice:
Get a notepad and wrote your story on it for nights just sleep 15-30m laymte that's all and then you just have to type and send done by next week.:)

I said that aswell, and suggested the 1st, but then you said the 10th and I thought, is there any reason more for that date, rather than the 1st? OK anywaaaaaays.

InshaAllah, 01.12.2008 is the deadline then.

also he is really very qualified by virtue of his profession... I am not sure he'd agree to come on board but he'd in fact be an asset..

How do we maintain our anonymonity? Anymosity? Anonymosity? (Help, me out here, can't find the right word!)
Is there any particular theme? Should it be wholly Islamic? Can we just write whatever?
Thank you for having the patience to answer my question. :)

Maintain your anonymouse-ity (thats the corect word :coolious:) by PM'ing me your entry and not telling anybody else which entry belongs to you, well first off I guess you dont have to announce in this thread that you're participating :p

The story can be about anything but it should revolve around an Islamic theme as the judges will be looking to which entry affected them the most and gave them that 'Imaan rush' ^_^ no set theme though....

Re.TiReD
10-23-2008, 09:41 AM
Yeah do that insha'Allah ^_^

And an Imaan rush is something that makes your Imaan feel tip-top, where your Imaan feels at its highest and you feel as though you could give the Shaytaan a flying kick, shove a fish up his nose and still remain unharmed =D

Short and sweet:

I'm entering the writing contest.

I have to say it in main although it's going against what I previously said.

Anybody who has a problem with sending me their entry should send it to sis Jawharah insha'Allah.

Just to add on though, my entry is complete. There's no reason for you to feel uncomfortable sending it to me. I'm not going to edit my piece after reading the one's of others. Heck I dont even read the entries (No time to) unless the member asks for me to.

But just incase..you can send to Sis Jawharah and she'll then pass on to me on the actual day of the deadline insha'Allah

can u give the entries over to be judged without telling hu wrote what? i'd rather not be an open book, not when there'l be a bro judging it on the other end. and i dont wanna write fiction coz ive wasted half my life on untrue novels without an islamic theme as it is and not proud of it.

You should still be able to PM moderators. Jawharah is a moderator, and the person to whom entries must be sent. So there shouldn't be a problem.

Something rather serious and personal has transpired the past couple of days, and I fear that I have to resign from my position as a judge for the writing contest.. pls do forgive me-- I know you have made an excellent selection otherwise, I don't believe I'll be missed...

I don't think I can be judicious with so many wonderful entries in my current state of mind..

Good luck to all of you-- and again, my humble apologies........

That's really sad to hear - I hope you get through whatever you're going through, and don't forget to look towards Allah [swt] for help when you need it most!

I don't believe I'll be missed...
Don't say that! People have said I can be a pessimist sometimes, but I still agree that you should never think like that.

Again, all the best.

I'm not in charge of the contest, but allowing a judge to enter is a conflict of interests.

No minimum, I think the minimum was scrapped if we ever did have one...Just that it would have suited your best interests to have one coz the story should have some depth at least. Go for it insha'Allah

Depends on the number of entries and if the judges are spoilt for choice or not. If there is a clear winner there'll prob just be one. Allahu A'lam we'll see insha'Allah :p
