AssalamuAlaykum Warahmatullah

A sister suggested we have another, yay or nay?

:popcorn:

WassalamuAlaykum Warahmatullah
 
Er, why not.. depends how many people want to participate this time.

Who would participate?
 
Sounds good.. PM Alp-

Er, I think we'd have to wait for a mod' to come on.. which could be a while. Off to your PMing, Inaayah. :D
 
Oh ok.

A poll Al-Zaara, for the voting or to ask who wants another contest?
 
Oki doke. I'm not sure we need mod permission, I'll probably run it by Sajid and see if he can sort a prize but other than that if the majority agrees I'd say we should go for it. I guess I could still ask though.

Ditto to that M421 =D

i think she meant make a poll asking who's intrested in entering..
 
Good Idea , I'll sit back on this one too :D

and about the polls , only Blue and Red ones can add them.
 
Well since Alpha converted astaghfirullah...I guess I'll wait for Muezzin or sum1.

But seem to be yay's so far =P
 
i didnt participate last time

and i got tons of free time now so


yeh i'll go for it


need a grammarian tho, gnna have to employ zAk


assalamu alaikum
 
Yeah, I'm up for it.

Is there any feedback from the previous contest that we might want to act upon in this one? Someone suggested different age brackets etc.

Added a poll. If it's asking completely the wrong question, do tell me so I can edit the options accordingly.

One of the things that lacked in a number of entries was description, it wasn't vivid enough, there was no sense of presence.


You want your story to have 2 main selling points:


Plotline


Language

Generally all the stories were creative but it was executed poorly. For those who do wish to enter, description is definately the way forward. You want your readers to be completely absorbed...


Just my 2 cent.


I hope you all do well Inshaa'Allaah!


Perhaps a rigid criteria would help?

A nice, big word limit of 3 or 4k would really help to improve those areas...
 
I lost last writing contest so I'm not up for one
Right now, sorry if any of you were expecting my excellent intense creativity for writing,on second thought I'll think about it..
 
:sl:
I am considering entering.

(there's no option for that on the polls right now, so I'm abstaining from the vote. But, I would like another contest)
