"Black Friday" Writing Contest

To kick off the Holiday Season, the first contest on N4G involves writing. Read the contest details below on what to do and how to enter. The upcoming contests for December will run for 24 days and will be a combination of gaming knowledge and a bit of luck if more than one person gets the right answer each day.

..:: CONTEST DETAILS

Those entering the contest should submit a story, poem, or similar written piece of work with the title of "Black Friday". The writing should include at least one video game character or video game setting and should be related to video games in some manner.

A single user may submit up to three (3) different entries for the contest if they so choose. A user may only win one prize.

All entries must be sent to the account posting this contest, ChrisKriN4Gle. Users may link to an external document if need be, but N4G is not responsible for any issues in retrieving the document in question (we will communicate any issues to the author, though).

Entries will need to be submitted by November 27, 2019 (Anywhere On Earth).

Entries will be reviewed and winners selected by the N4G staff. Entries will be reviewed based on the quality of the writing and the creativity of the writing.

Entries must be unique pieces of writing created specifically for this contest and not otherwise previously published.

Three winners will be selected from the submissions with an award based on place. Type of cash prize will vary depending on the location of the winner and our ability to pay out the prize in the manner desired.

Does it have to be about Black Friday or can it just be holiday themes?

XVision841633d ago

So there is no submission length limit? Stories vary greatly in word count and I doubt you guys should want a long story with all the submissions coming in

XVision841633d ago

Would* not should lol my bad.

Also how flexible can we be in terms of swear words?

No length limit.

No requirement for swearing, but if it does win it might be posted with a notice of the offensiveness/vulgarity of the content.

rainslacker1632d ago (Edited 1632d ago )

No length limit? Sounds like I can keep.you guys reading for a few hours then.:-D

Have my unpublished novels. Just a few name changes to game characters, a few setting changes to scenes in games, and I'm good to go.

Lucky for you, I edited it down to 3000 pages, mostly by removing the duplicate dialogue i had talking about knitting and how to cook various types of stews

You're in for a real treat!!!

Christopher1632d ago

Guess who's not winning because we couldn't finish reading their story in time? :(

Better luck next time Mme. Scudery (I hope someone gets that reference).

rainslacker1631d ago (Edited 1631d ago )

LOL. Or...maybe I win because you don't have time to read all the others.:)

Nintendo of America never planned on bringing Xenoblade to North America despite announcing it at E3

These days Xenoblade is one of Nintendo’s bigger franchises – at least when it comes to RPGs – but that wasn’t always the case. The first entry came out in English more than a year after its Japanese launch, and that was for European fans only.

Would've been yet another whack move on Nintendo. I'm glad they did. It's one of the few games I got the switch for.

Well nintendo if you didn't do that big l

Knightofelemia2h ago

I guess Nintendo forgets how boosting sales numbers work. Why lock a game to a certain region or certain regions? You want sales number then flood the market and release the game in every region.

Review - Heading Out (PC) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "Heading Out combines genres and styles which might sound incompatible at first glance, but did so in a very interesting manner, resulting in a truly unique roguelike experience. I, for one, really liked the presentation as well, with its slick visuals and soundtrack. It’s not entirely perfect, as the driving could have been more polished, and the pop-in glitches really took me out of the experience at times. That being said, it’s a game unlike any other out there, which wlll definitely keep you engaged through a good few runs."
