Hi

What is the 900HoFF Word Edition?
This stands for the 900 Hours of Fanfiction, and it will be hosted by... me! There will be a list of phrases provided when the contest begins and your goal is to use all of the phrases from the list in your story at some point. Unlike the previous contest however, there will be no topic.

When is the 900HoFF?
It started on January 29, 2007 at 10:55 AM PST and ran until March 7, 2007 at 10:55 PM PST.

Where is the 900HoFF?
On a computer, in a .doc, .txt., .rtf, or .html. If you use any other format than these four you will be disqualified. The list of phrases will be announced both in #rawr on irc.slashnet.org and in this very thread.

Who is the 900HoFF?
You, the player! They will be judged by both myself and my fellow judges, lemmer and zamros. Our scores will be averaged off in the end, unless they're a butt and a stupid judge.

Why is the 900HoFF?
For fun, and leisure. There is no pressure here.

How is the 900HoFF?
On a computer, in a .doc, .txt., .rtf, or .html. By keeping your fingers to your keyboard is how you will likely create the story, but bonus points may be awarded at the judge's discretion for using other body parts, such as your feet, nose, or penis.

Judging
The judging is simply a score from 1-10, based on criteria such as the format, humour, creativity, and engagingity, but like many ZZTer contests, likely the best way to win this is to just be funny. If you're not very funny though, just be clever, and put in lots of violence. The judges are as follow:

* Fungahhh
* lemmer
* zamros

Who's Entering?
If this is your question, then you have looked under the right heading! So far we have:

* ShloobeR
* Stak
* nuero
* asgromo
* gofer-chan
* Quantum P.
* crank
* dave2

The contest has begun!
Your list of phrases is provided here:

Code: Select all

"Get this guy off me!"
"Well... maybe FOURTH time's the charm..."
"Are you an nWo fan?"
It was a fool's errand.
much like a laser beam.
and the temperature steadily rose.
without even touching him!
Who's Submitted?

* crank
* nuero
* dave2

Judging Results

Here.

Remember, you can make it about anything, so long as it includes these phrases. If you cannot think of what to write about, there's always the old standard ZZT/MZX community fanfiction.

i am quite pleased to see you have taken a pre-emptive strike against quantum p, but i would suggest allowing html files as well, in case one wants to use some of the advanced features html allows for, such as blinking comic sans ms marquees, embedded midis, and the ability to add those little divider lines.

You'd think embedded midis would be a reason against allowing HTML

Oh well

Consider me a participant

I actually really like it a lot. I don't know who those faces belong to, though. It reminds me of that "LUCY MONOSTONE" thing from MPD Psycho, or whatever.
