Tales of Teh Stream Contest
Due Date:  August 4th, 2013


Criteria

The medium is literature, for a short-story contest.

The contest theme is based around Teh Stream Comic.

Your short story can be either purely fictional or based on an actual Stream-moment you experienced. The story itself should however try to include Teh Stream Comic in some way, such as including one of the characters from it. The type of story is up to you- Comedic, dramatic, uplifting, or anything else you prefer to write about.

The story should contain influences from the comic so that it feels as though it would fit into that "world". [Example: Materialization]

It is encouraged that the main character of your story is an original character, whether they are fictional or based on yourself. It is also helpful that this character is an interesting or relatable person.

If the story is based on real-life events, it shouldn't rely on things such as inside jokes or anything similar as the bulk of the content. Anyone who enjoys Teh Stream Comic should be able to enjoy your story as well in an equally fanciful setting.

Proper spelling, grammar, punctuation and capitalization are a must. If English is not your first language or you have trouble with this in general, you are allowed to seek editing help, with credit.

Story length should be long enough to read in one sitting.


Rules

Stories must be written entirely on your own.

You may have an editor to check for spelling or grammar mistakes in your work. If you do this, credit them in your artist description.

Send me the link to your story when it is completed.

Entries due date is August 4th, 2013. Until decided, you are free to retract an entry for revising or editing. Judging will begin the following day and will continue until a decision is made for the winners.


Judging

I will be the only judge for this contest

The overall impact of the story will be one of the main things judged. Whether it entices laughter, tears or fuzziness, any well-portrayed emotion will be beneficial for the submissions ranking.

If your story includes an existing character from Teh Stream, it is advisable to keep them "in character" as they appear in the comic.

Proper spelling, grammar, punctuation and capitalization will all be taken into consideration during the judging. The only acceptable poor grammar is if a character in-story is using "ch@t sp33k lol".
