Official FFR Short Story Contest 2004
SUBMISSION THREAD
Sponsered by 'The Zemitra Report'
"Reviewing your fan fiction because we care..."
Run by: Gimitro Zemitra & ECCENTRICCHOCOBO
Closing date for REGISTRATION: 2nd August 2004
PLEASE REGISTER IN THE PUBLIC EVENTS FORUM!!!
Closing date for entries: 15th August 2004
Introduction
This is the Short Story Submission thread! Anyone who wishes to submit can do it here! HOWEVER, you must register in the Public Events Forum first if you wish to enter. Anyone who put anything up here without Registering first will have their hard work deleted.
Zemitra isn't joking....
SUBMISSION RULES
A reminder of the rules in case you forgot.
1. The short story must be 1000 words. If you do go over we will except up to 1100 words, but no more. It may be shorter if you wish. However, I would recommend you do write at least 500.
2. The story must be all your own work. If you use another writers work you will be a) disqualified and b) Gimitro Zemitra's new chew toy.
3. Fan fictions are allowed, but being original will probably yield higher results.
4. Obey common rules of decency. Stories that are overly graphic will not be reviewed.
5. Judges decisions are final. There will be no appeals, name calling or general back-biting.
6. You may use a segment of a longer story, but it must be self contained.
7. In light of some inappropriate behaviour in Republic Harbour, Gimitro Zemitra will disqualify anyone who steps out of line when they are suppose to be making CONSTRUCTIVE criticism on someones work.
Judging
The current Judges are: Gimitro Zemitra and ECCENTRICCHOCOBO
A third will be announced once they have been hired. Judging will commence once short stories come in, but the results will not appear until after 15th August.
Anyone familiar with the 'Zemitra Report' should find the review system similiar, but considerably cut down. You will not get the whole long winded approach that picks out almost every mistake. Instead you will get a short summary on your story from each judge.
Short Stories will be judged on:
PLOT
CHARACTERS
GRAMMAR & STYLE
CREATIVITY
Marks will then be given by each judge. The overall mark will be the average result from all of the judges.
At the end of the contest, all of the marks will be put up in a 'League Table' and the winners will be awarded their prizes.
Prizes
The current prizes are:
1st - 300 RP
2nd - 200 RP
3rd - 100 RP
Entry - 10 RP
Personal banners will also be produced for the winners.
Anyway, good luck.

Simon..versus the World!!
“Crap, crap, crap.”
Simon said nonchalantly as he flicked through the television channels coming across pretty much the same programme on every single one of them; you had Eastenders on BBC1 which was generally about people having sex with each other and on ITV you had Emmerdale which was the same thing but in the countryside and with people that have annoying accents. While there was nothing wrong with programmes about people shagging each other both of them paled in comparison to Naughty Girls 3.
In the hallway the phone rang and before he could even leave the sofa his mother answered, it was probably a call for her anyway so Simon slumped in the soft seat and, having given up on finding anything worth watching on the telly, threw the remote control at his younger brother, who promptly put some anime **** on.
“Simon! It’s Tony Blair”
Called his mother excitedly from the hallway,
“Ahhh ****, not that gypsy again” thought Simon as he got up, wandered through the door and took the phone from his mother, waving a hand to signal that she could sod off now,
“Waddup dawg?”
He said into the mouth piece,
“Simon! The world needs you! Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein and the resurrected cyborg Hitler are trying to take over the world!”
Tony seemed worried, Simon could practically hear his frantic hand gestures over the phone line, so he listened on,
“Their base of operations is in your town Simon, you’re the only one that can deal with the situation.
Word is they’ve come across you somehow under the name of LL, and they love you, only you have the ability to infiltrate their network and stop them”
“I’ll do it. I ‘ate Nazis.”
Said Simon, with a definite determination in his voice.
“To find your enemy, you must know your enemy. If I was the cyborg Nazi Hitler, where would I be?” With this single thought, Simon already knew what to do, he went to the pub.
However, much to Simon’s dismay Hitler wasn’t there but wisely Simon decided to stay just in case he did show up.
Fifteen or so pints later Simon was satisfied that Hitler wasn’t there, so he left to stumble back home when all of a sudden a car violently careened off the road and onto the path and mowed him down, but no! It was not a car at all! It was an autowagon! Hitler’s autowagon!
Losing conscious rapidly, Simon caught sight of silohuetted Nazi party members bundling him into the back of the vehicle. Wearily he asked,
“Where are you taking me?”
“Germany”
Replied a stern voice, then Simon’s world turned to black and whether it was the aftermath of fifteen pints of the White Heart’s finest Fosters or the result of being run down by a German automobile, Simon lost consciousness.
Hours later a harsh white light slowly brought Simon out of pleasant dreams of sex with a blonde and brunette at the same time and forced him back into the real world, where he was horrified to find himself chained up nude in a German torture chamber with electrodes attached to his testes.
After hours of agonising torture Hitler revealed to Simon that he was indeed enamoured with him, particularly the LL persona and that after the time they had shared in his sexual dungeon he wanted Simon to be his partner. He then revealed, to Simon’s horror, that to be his partner one must also be a zombie Nazi.
“Do not worry, Englander scum. It will not hurt much”
Said the mustachioed one, before he left Simon alone in the torture chamber, which turned out to actually be on a Luftwaffe Zeppelin that was heading for America, with a single Nazi zombie creature. But as luck would have it, this Nazi had also been touched by LL’s golden heart and he released Simon who then piggy back rode the creature to safety and bailed out of the zeppelin!
With no parachute, Simon acted quickly and skinned the zombie and then used this skin as a hang glider and made a safely paced descent down into the streets of Washington, where he was greeted by Spider-man, Captain America and the governor of California, The Terminator. The formidable group created a powerful force to combat the Nazis, which they called “The Lennon Legend Experience” and, after a short period of bonding in which they had some drinks and played some sports, they retreated to their hideout under a bridge and after indoctrinating all local vagrants to the cause began to formulate their great plans.
It was Captain America that deduced the Nazis would try to attack the Whitehouse, the rest of the group wasn’t sure how he knew but he had this kickarse shield and he kept threatening everyone with it, so they all just went along with what he said.
So the LL experience | | | |
