He clears his throat several times before he speaks. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=17822318] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/178224/17822318_350.png[/img] [/url] "Hello there," he dips his head in greeting as he fumbles around with his pack before he removes a book. "So sorry to just drop in, but heard you might be interested in writing a story for the big battle going on over there I'm sure you noticed as it is hard to miss when four flights go at it." He flips through the leather book, which looks fairly new, but already well loved. The emblem of the wind flight stands out on the front cover. "I was just writing myself just this morning you see. I have quite a bit of space to use from this book if you'd like to add your own story to it. I know I'd love to read it and share it of course. Oh dear me I just remembered I never introduced myself. My name is Riddle, please do forgive me." The spiral flushes as he closes the book. "Of course you're more than welcome to use your own book to write in or whatever you prefer. All I ask is you have fun and just write." He smiles clearly having a love of writing himself. He flaps his wings and floats up above your head, "Now then if you are for sure interested then I'll just leave you with the rest of the instructions and rules. [size=4]So Welcome to the Battle of the First Four's Writing Contest."[/size] He pulls several sheets of paper out of his book before placing it back in his pack letting them float down to you before he uses his balloon to drift off just like he came.

You have a slightly different angle you can use as your dragon can be trained or volunteer to be in the battle for another flight. Hope that makes sense. Again it may be for this battle, the previous battle or even ancient times during the first age.

Just to save the judges on time. It is all about quality over quantity. [*]If I find you are bribing the judges or trying to win in some sort of way like that you will be disqualified. [*]These rules apply to all daily contest as well. [*]End date for the main event is a little different than the battle itself. Due to needing time to judge the [b]contest will end Friday Night the 15th at rollover[/b]. [*]Humor within reason [*]One entry per player and one post per player for that entry and you may edit it once before the end date once it is post. [*]Please make a separate posts for the daily challenges, but only one per day and you may not edit it once posted so please double check it before posting. We all make mistakes we're only human.

Each judge will give each entry a value between 1-10 and it doesn't matter if one judge give all of the entries 8 points out of 10 because in the end the winners will get their prizes in order of the number of points. Like a raffle you will pick you prizes in the order of your points. There will be prizes for the top three and an honorable mention. Then there will be one wild card prize chosen randomly like a normal raffle. You get tickets for it by doing the daily challenges and entering in the main contest.

I'll try to post them as close to the start of the day as I can manage. You don't have to enter daily it just is mostly for fun and gives you a chance to win the challenge prize at the end. I'll be judging all of these challenges myself at the end. The same rules from above apply and each day needs its own entry post. An entry form will be provided on the first day. Please use that one and not the above one. As said above you may not edit the challenge entry once you post them so please double check them. We are only human so small mistakes won't be a huge deal, but if I can't read it easily that will count against you, but not disqualify you. These are meant to be short so between 100 and 1,000 words please.

Prizes will be drawn for the previous day the morning after or the earliest I'm on for that day. Entries for the day end at rollover on that day.

I'm finally done with the post I need to edit a few more things, but I'm pretty much done now. I'll open first thing in the morning I suppose. :) Can't wait to see how it goes. Thanks again to all of my wonderful volunteer judges. I'm still waiting on some last minute donations for the bigger prize packs.

@AkaFever Good to hear! You're added to the hubs, so no need to worry there. :) Now go! Go sleep!
