The Elements of Writing

Calling all writers! Artemis Fowl FanGathering has another challenge for you. The theme this time around is elements. You will put together four fanfictions, drabbles or otherwise, based around each of four elements. Feel free to use this Wikipedia article for inspiration and ideas. You may use any of the groups of four elements.

Entries will be judged by BlackOpal, Carino, and Artificial Asian. The winner’s story will be featured on the main site, and moved into the Editor’s Choice section of the archive.

Entering:
Once you have your story completed, post it on the fanfiction archive; and make sure to place it in both the challenge entries category, and whatever category it would normally fall under. Send your entry or a link to it to penguinsplaysoccer24@gmail.com, and make sure it is complete at this time. The challenge will close on August 15, so you have plenty of time.

Rules:

1. Submissions must follow the archive rules, which include spelling and grammar.

2. Entries should be a minimum of 750 words, and can be as long as you like.

3. Each element should have a relatively short fic, a one-shot or a drabble. No chapter fics.

    Is it Artemis Fowl related? Or just an element fic?

    It is indeed Artemis Fowl related, hence why its a FanFiction comp. 🙂

  4. Artificial Asian July 2nd, 2010 at 3:30 am 4

    It should be a fanfiction, so Artemis Fowl related.

    So do we have to choose from a group on that page with four elements? i.e. Earth, Water, Air, Fire is the main one; what other options are there? Are we allowed to pick four out of the groups of five or…?

    And are themes strictly limited to the ones on the Wikipedia page or…?

    Yeah I am a little confused. Do you mean the elements of fire,water,wind,and earth? Or something else?

  7. hiholly123 July 2nd, 2010 at 10:52 pm 7

    Fire, wind, water, and earth, as listed. :DSorriez. When u talk ’bout the elements, I don’t usually think of AF.

    I think it’d be alright if you wanted to choose out of the groups of five, or if you wanted to choose your own… as long as it fits the concept of elements, I think it’d be alright.

    @artiholi180: I dunno, 750 words is 750 words… it depends on the word processor you’re using. And for the second question, yes, that’s fine 🙂

    Entries should be a minimum of 750 words, and can be as long as you like. So it doesn’t have to be exact.
