edonil Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Hey everyone, it's that time again- story time! Can't wait to see what you all come up with. The Iron Quill is a writing contest that takes place every month where the winner receives a free random box set from Wyrd. It’s an exciting competition and a great place to hone your skills and get some constructive feedback. The Rules You must post your story in The Writing Room by the submission date with the following posting format: Iron Quill – Name of the round – Name of your story. Nothing else is needed to sign up, but please post in this thread with a link to your story when completed. Your story must be no more than 1,750 words and be a self-contained story set in the world of Malifaux. Any story must include at least two of the Ingredients for the current round. When you use the ingredients, keep in mind they don't need to be literal, please feel free to be creative with them! As the stories are completed, this post will be updated to contain a listing of all the submissions. You are welcome to edit your story up until the submission date. Winning The winner will be selected by overall score, as determined by two methods: A public poll will be created where anyone can vote on their favorite story. Each vote is worth 1 point. Authors of submissions can vote in this way. A private poll of the authors where they pick their favorite story and a runner-up. These votes are weighted; the favorite story gets 3 points, the runner-up gets 2 points. These votes should be submitted to me by forum PM. All votes must be submitted by the voting date or they won’t count for scoring. You cannot vote for your own submission. If you are an author, you must submit votes for the private poll or you will be disqualified.Name of the Round: The DuelSubmission Date: February 10th, 2015, 23:59 ESTVoting Date: February 13th, 2015Ingredients: Theme: The Duel Character: The Improbable Poet Line: Never look back.

The Grue Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Here is my entry. It is not finished as I have to go to sleep to get up for work in a few hours. I will finish this tomorrow evening. Papa Grombi P.S. I want to apologize, I was trying to click on "follow topic" while using my phone and accidentally gave this topic 1 star, which I did not mean to do.

ThePandaDirector Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Crikey, it's been awhile. Didn't want to put my hat in the ring till I had something, but I stayed up late last night and wrote for the first time in ages. Got about 800 words so far and, while I hate it, I'll be sure to keep at it and get it posted. More importantly though, I hope to have the time to read everyone else's stories and provide feedback. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grue Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I was able to finish up my entry last night and make some necessary grammar and structural changes. Let me know what you think. As always, The Grue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hope I'm not too late. Rather lost inpsiration and forgot about it. But I was rather determined to finish it, so I did. I'll be sure to post feedback on the rest shortly, not that it'll be of any immediate help anyway. http://wyrd-games.net/community/topic/106467-iron-quill-the-duel-an-improbable-poet/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
