edonil Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 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 will be 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: PrideSubmission Date: July 6th, 2015, 23:59 ESTIngredients: Theme: Pride Character: The Grocer Line: Red sky at night Item: A comb Location: The graveyard Oh, and a quick note, please do check out the Steel Nib, being run by Ferossa!

The Grue Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Finally got my story up. A bit on the short side this time as I had to retype the whole thing on my small phone, but I think I was able to use all of the ingredients.
