Greetings Skippers
I am Magnus, moderator,Captain of Tech, Lord of Dorks, and fiter[sic] of things.
I am also turning NINE YEARS OLD on the wiki, this Sunday May 20th. Crazy, right?
As I am a salty and vain bastard, I am holding a contest for my amusement.
Time doesn't stop. People get older.
How do they handle it?
The Contest
Write one or more of the following:
- An SCP
- A Tale
- A GoI format
- A -J
Which deals with the theme of getting older. Maybe it's someone facing retirement? Maybe it's just someone who's not a young person anymore and is facing their early adulthood. Maybe it's someone who's a kid, facing teenager-dom.
Go nuts.
Entries will be accepted any time between May 20th 00:00:00 EDT, and June 21st 11:59:59 EDT (my actual real life birthday, where I'm actually real-life turning 30.)
This is not a CO contest. Therefore restrictions on users do not apply from CO rules, also, this contest does not count for any CO rule counters.
The winner will be considered whoever has the highest rated article at the end of the contest period.
The winner will get:
- A gold star from me
- One special piece of formatting for one of your articles, designed by me. It could be a script section with some fancy javascript, or a css theme of your choice, or something else along those lines. (With the caveat being nothing rule breaking).
- One humorous mention somewhere within PF, with your name on it, and a silly title.
The first runner up will get:
- A silver star from me
- One humorous mention somewhere within PF, with your name on it, and the title of "Assistant to the [Above Title]"
