Since the Avatar contest went off relatively well, perhaps a new contest will come? I'm not sure if its been done on this site already, but how about a [i]short story[/i] fanfic contest? It'd be ambitious and very time-consuming (and since Bungie is working on Halo 2, that one factor might make this contest too much). There should be a minimum and maximum page/word limit, so things can't be submitted too small, nor too large (perhaps somewhere between a minimum of 4 pages and a max of 20). It'd have to be Halo-related (or, I suppose, it could be based on another Bungie game, such as Oni or Marathon). It can't be offensive (obviously). It should also have certain grammar requirements. The winner could get something special (perhaps a custom avatar), and there could be several runner-up prizes (but no "last place prizes," so it would encourage good writing, not bad). Like I said, it'd be very time-consuming for whoever the judges will be, since they'd have to read through all of the entries. That simple fact probably makes this contest impossible to have.... but it might be fun. Anyone have more suggestions? If this type of contest can't be done, or if we're not allowed to make these type of suggestions, any Mods who read this should block the thread. [Edited on 7/3/2004 2:38:54 PM]
