The Xana's Lair Challenge - NOW EXTENDED TO HALLOWEEN!

[Coto524]

Right. Here we go. Before a mod takes this down, let me just point out that I got permission. In Carthage. Ask Railen, if you don't believe me.

*gets back onto topic*

All participants in this Story Challenge have to write a story about XL. It can't be XL members in CL, or anything like that: it has to be XL only.

Participants must post a list of the members they are planning to use in the challenge thread. If anybody on that list objects, then they must be removed from the story.

Entries will be judged by me, but anyone who wants to help judge need only ask. You can start sending in submissions on the 9th of July (any timezone), deadline will be 20.00 GMT on the 23rd of July. Judging will begin on the 24th.

Any questions?

[Twiggy Della Robbia]

I'll offer my official approval alongside Railen's just incase someone doesn't believe you. =P

Anyway, this is an interesting idea. Maybe I'll give it a shot. =D

[Heart of Lyoko]

So, do we post this on ff.net or here?

[Coto524]

I'd recommend FictionPress, or DeviantArt. If you have neither of those accounts, check with Rai to see if you can post it on here.

[Heart of Lyoko]

'Kay Thanks

[Coto524]

Note: I will be away from tomorrow onwards for a week, probably with no internet. Submit your stories anyway.

...I think you should just post it, Shadows. There are 2 days left. Well, I can probably squeeze in a few more days.

[Twiggy Della Robbia]

This might sound bad, but do you think we could have just a few more days? My idea needs a little push. ^^;

[Coto524]

Probably. I'll warn you guys tomorrow if I can't push for a few more days, but I might have to go to Wales on Sunday.

[SeeMeInTheShadows]

Well, I changed a few of the people around, as you may notice when you read it, but everyone who wasn't on the original list was asked permission separetly. I don't know if this is what you meant or not, Enzo, but it's what I wrote. http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2935927/1/

[Heart of Lyoko]

OMG EPIC
A staredown, LOL!

But I can stare a little longer that others in my class.
But I Love to glare!

[aelitaxwilliam]

...Shadows, as much as I love that you inspired me for this, I am really regretting this. At first I thought the pacing was too slow, but now it seems way too fast/unbelievable to be humanly possible - I'm blaming this on you!

http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2936002/1/The_Office

And I'm horribly uncreative with my titles; again, blamage settles on you.

[Coto524]

Both good. And I'm not going to Wales, so I'll close submissions..... Wednesday. You still have time to add another chapter, if you want.

[MoonlitxAngel]

Yay for Enzo! I wanted to enter and I *just* heard about this yesterday/today. x3 I'm definitely going to enter. ^^

[aelitaxwilliam]

I might try to slow down the pacing ['specially at the ending] but I don't think I could write another chapter. Not unless Shadows tells me to.

And I forgot to list who's in it, which is why I'm back here:

Shadows, Enzo, Stella, Snowy, Twiggy, Angel, Queen, Aeon, and I all are main enough parts. I was talking to Sharpie on chat, so I put her in, though she's not necassarily named. And I also put Rai and Legend in, but they made super tiny cameos. I didn't get to ask them since I wrote this 12:00-2:00AM EST, but I felt that having an XL Corporation without those two was weird. Which speaking of that, I thought it would be weird not to put Kitty, Rena, or John in, but I figured since those two are never on, at least Rai and Legend can object and I can remove them. Those three can't really object so it wouldn't be fair.

[Coto524]

OK. I've changed my mind, after Angel suggested I give you a few months.

You get until Halloween now. Long time.

[Koneko on lyoko]

I don't really have any ideas for a story, but, do you think I could help judge? Please ?

[aelitaxwilliam]

I'm not Enzo, so I'm not allowed to decide whether or not you're allowed to judge.

But...you should really think about entering! I mean, you have almost three months. And there are so many story ideas you could explore – and personally, this is my favourite challenge yet. If you need help with story ideas you could always ask one of us. <3

[Eilorae]

Enzo, Queen, Rai, Legend, Aeon, Angel, Kelly and Atlas are the ones that I'm planning on using. Is there a maximum word count by any chance?

[Coto524]

Nope. No max limit at all.

[Heart of Lyoko]

@Enzo- I give up. Can I help judge?

[Coto524]

I is allowing you judge to.

[Heart of Lyoko]

OMG YAY~ THANKS ENZO~
