Ok looks like the person running the SH3 short story contest will be RealJambo over at the UBI SH3 Forum. Thanks to the many people that have expressed an interest we saved the short story comp from going under.
Rules are as followed at this time.
(Taken from previous post on UBI)
--Ok I think we have a go Houston!
I propose the following guidelines - I am open to bribes suggestions, but tentatively suggest:
* Wording: Minimum 1500 and no maximum - but do bear in mind very very long entries may put some readers off.
* No screenshots - we're trying to encourage participation from other forum members and the added task of capturing and posting specific screenshots may be discouraging, and the quality of the screenshots - good or bad - could divert attention from the writing content.
* Let's start actually posting the entries from March 1st (gives us time to get writing) and have a deadline of the 18th (ala the Screenshot comp - seeing as I stay up 'til midnight to administrate the posting/voting threads that night anyway) and voting finishing on the 31st.
* Complete stories and
parts of stories are fine. Best to include links back to the previous parts if it isn't a complete story you are entering.
Now I have to remind you we won't be able to sticky this comp. Provided the comp is supported well, then that may change but for now we'll just have to see how it goes. I'll make sure the posting thread isn't buried so don't worry.
As for the certificate, I'll come back to you about that, just need to check a few things.
Any Questions? If we're all happy - I'll give you all time to think and post back, I'll start a new thread tomorrow announcing the March Comp.

Threads will remain on the UBI forum for now or could be double posted I guess for anyone interested.
Hope to see some of your writings and creativness soon.
