GBAtemp Amateur Writing Competition

[Imacaredformy2ds]

Well tempers, thanks to and idea from @lcie nimbus, @Chary made this Competititon a thing. (I guess I'm just a messenger)
Here are the rules that we agreed on:

Submissions: 3 days, no limit.
Actual writing period: 5 days after auditions close.
Any gaming topic goes: You cannot do a topic someone on GBAtemp has written about before (Ex: The Great Nintendo Switcheroo), no copy-pasting from other sites. (Plagiarism)
Judging: A panel of 5 judges rate the article on a score from 1 to 10. Once all 5 judges have rated it, the score is combined and the article with the highest score is the winner.
Prize: The winner has their article posted on the front page.
Length: Around 300 words minimum

You can just sign up by posting your topic choice in the thread!
If you've got any questions, ask away.
I'll try to answer to the best of my ability.
Good luck guys

Can I write a long rant about how everything Nintendo does is completely shit and Nintendo is a shitty company?

Nice edit
Yes, I guess. Anything gaming related goes.

If it's a well written rant, with solid points, go for it!
Nice edited garbage post, reported lulz.

Count me in, Voice Acting and music are both my thing, so how about one on VAs

 

[VinsCool]

I want to participte!

I think i got an excellent idea, and that's about a thing I really love too.

 

[astrangeone]

Count me in!

Does the copy/paste from other sites count if you're the author?

Example: https://projectpokemon.org/forums/f...-like-the-french-version-better-than-english/

Hmm...preferably, I'd say since it's a little mini GBAtemp competition, that the article be something originally posted on GBAtemp.

 

[luigismentor]

Ooh, maybe I can write about the history of Final Fantasy, or has someone here done that already? Regardless, I'm in.

I'm up for it, gonna be hell typing with a busted arm though.
i'm gonna do a review of BlazBlue : Central fiction, I think, haven't quite decided yet.

 

[Hells Malice]

Interesting though really poorly timed.

Might enter if I can pull myself away from BOTW long enough.

 

[Deleted User]

Neat I wonder who will win. I'm not a writing type of person but it'll be neat to see what people come up with

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Nice edited garbage post, reported lulz.

Can't you people delete posts though?

 

[Deleted member 377734]

changed my mind, think i'll go with an article about why you should get a game yourself instead of relying on gaming sites to review it for you.

 

[Kingy]

I'll write "Which OS is for you?", sign me up nao!

 

[Imacaredformy2ds]

All right, so far we have:
@LittleFlame Voice Acting and Music in Video Games
@VinsCool Something he loves (you need to specify what)
@luigismentor The History of Final Fantasy
@lcie nimbus Why you Shouldn't Trust Reviews
@TheKingy34 Which OS is for you?
@astrangeone Something
@evandixon (Translation in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games?)
@CeeDee A rant about Nintendo
The last 3 need to confirm what they'll be writing about, and if they really do want to participate.
Am I right on what everybody wants to write about?

 

[luigismentor]

Yep, nailed it with me. RESEARCH TIME! Wait a minute, this ain't a computer!

 

[VinsCool]

I was thinking of technical achievement with old/obsolete hardware in consoles (audio/graphics)
