"Write for the Tanki Newspaper!" Contest

[Pyre 3,485]

Yaasssssss! This same phrase gets said to me literally EVERY SINGLE TIME I'M ON TANKI and it never gets old. LOTR for the win! Also I have a Samwise_Gamgee account, if anyone was wondering. Maybe I'll make one for Merry too  ;) But not for Frodo because, although I like him--I guess--he's really not a good person. I'm sorry to all you Frodo fans out there, it's just that Sam is about a trillion times better. (Books, mostly. But also movies.) Also, please, everyone, stop calling The Lord of the Rings a trilogy. It is composed of SIX books which are USUALLY divided into three VOLUMES with two books per volume.

PS: Is Sam's dad's name Hamwise? It says in the Fellowship that his name is Ham, but it's probably actually Hamwise, right?

LOTR was originally published as 1 large book, but they changed into a "trilogy" to avoid breaking the readers backs :rolleyes: I actually have a copy, its bigger than a dictionary :P

 

 

I do have a question I'm asking just for curiosity: Why do you have the "Story" category? I'm very glad for it, of course, as that's the category I submitted my story in, but still, it's completely unrelated to Tanki. I thought that in the Tanki Newspaper, everything had to be related to Tanki! Just curious, though. Also, will they alert me on the Forum, or on Tanki, or just not at all and expect me to find it in the newspaper if I win? Because sometimes I have trouble finding stuff on here. And I know I shouldn't be asking questions about winning because I won't, but still, be prepared for everything, right?  :D

There are a few stories unrelated to TO in the newspaper. Also, the story can be related to TO.

 

I believe you will have the items sent directly to your account if you win.

everyone is replying to this, clogging up my inbox  :blink:  :D

Finished my entry, but I have a question, can we show our entry to friends? 

[PeregrinTook 25]

Everyone, please, check thoroughly to make sure your question hasn't been already asked yet. It's tiresome for people (not me, but people) to answer the same questions multiple times. If you have any questions concerning the content of the articles, word limits, language, how to do it, etc., those questions have already been answered. 

 

 

 

I'm just here being my normal, pesky self.

You can show your entry to whomever you want as long as they won't copy you. If they play Tanki and if you win, they'll see it in the Tanki Newspaper, anyway.

We have featured Story articles in the newspaper since it's inception. It is a third option for those that feel too restricted with writing a guide or review. Winners will be contacted in Forum PM.

 

Can a review be of a kit? 

Yes, kit reviews are common pieces in the paper.

[Guest]

Also, would a descriptive piece (something like that AWS piece @kaisdf wrote, The Coffee Shop) without an exact plot qualify as a story?

Yes.

A little bit of tweaking and you can turn it into a guide for that particular turret and include your reasons there. :)

I have a question: Can a FICTIONAL story (or piece, or article, what have you) be written in first person, as a fictional person, whether briefly or for the whole story?

Yes a story is a story. :)
