Also would like ant input on deadlines. I have no idea how ling it takes to produce one of these, sooooo 30 days, 45 days or 60 days for all that sighn up to complete there task? Also if BE-Story blub author or any indepentand author would be willing to get there NON- Illustraded story made into a short lil animation, that would also be helpful, I know it was mentioned that makin these takes alotta dialogue format and such, with a base story template it could make the process alot smoother. Also thinking of makin the animation at least 2 min and no more than 4, so again this is a SHORT animation contest. ADMIN PLEASE ENLIGHTEN US!!!!

Being a BE club author I wouldn't take a 50 dollar cash prize with much interest. I like to invest 20 hours per short story and just the offering of 50 bucks doesn't get my muse out of bed.

And the simple fact that even a four minute animation (unless its 'Order of The Stick style) will take more than 8 hours of work might explain the lack of admin response. (or maybe they haven't noticed the thread yet.)

The only reason why I mentioned a trophy is the last TOB story contest awarded three very cool glass and brass trophies. I have my second place sitting happily on my desk.

If some BE story contest offered another cool trophy like that I'd submit a 20-40 page story for free.

So if I were doing an BE animation contest I'd offer 500$ for first prize and 250$ for second and third place. But that is just me.

Pfttt... last time I checked writing FT-fiction was very much a hobby , which I hope most individuals can discern from all the reviews I get. (I an'ts no professional writter.)

Never can escape the typos.

But I like to invest some time in the story. It feels good to produce something that you know is your absolute best (doesn't mean its perfect). As long as I get one person who's happy, it's well worth the time spent.

And I'm excited someone is making an attempt to stimulate the community instead of being the typical bottom feeder of "Mor' free Porn plz." that seems so damn prevalent as of late.
