Re: Time for a new contest

I like that idea. We could really mix and match. Storm troopers and orcs fight against Elves, and Hobbits. And the Cartels eventually join in on the Dark Side. Whilst Romulans and Klingons... hmmm, I like it but I also like the Generic Contest. Narrow or broad, which is best?

Re: Time for a new contest

I was thinking more along the lines of The People vs Donald Trump. Or The People vs Karen, Judge Rudy Giuliani presiding. But to have a couple of Hobbit cops sweating Gollum down at the station house might be fun, too. The possibilities are limitless even if the contest itself is inherently limited.

I could certainly work in a few good cuss words -- made up or not -- in a Trump trial, lol. Take care. Vern

Okay, new contest is up.  Your suggestions guided my decision. Suggestions that didn't make it into this contest may be used in future ones.

Re: Time for a new contest

A horror contest with SPAM being the medium of evil. Maybe the Devil tricks many with SPAM and a super group of anti-spammers is called in. I agree this sounds Scooby-dooish, but more plot points can be added. Not sure 'bout the minimum of words, but the max could be 2500 to 3000, maybe.

Too, everyone who participates in this contest gets 25 points. YAY!

Or comedy horror: people get cursed and become like Ken and Barbie. One-dimensional, too perfect in some ways, but not good for much, overall. Or maybe it's just a case of young, good-looking people being hypnotized and made into mindless lackeys.
