What, again? Yes again! XD Can't let you ALL waste away that great talent. Okay it is ANOTHER Fanfic challenge, but thats OKAY! There'll be a art one shortly but shhhhh ^_~ not yet.

No Bars Held Competition!

well there are a few, but not many.

Introduce your Original character(s) Max. 3 to Canon characters ^_^
It can be the bros in chicago
the the bros anywhere.
The freedom Fighters on Mars.
The Army on Mars.
The plutarkians.

It can be a squid cat experiment of Dr. Karbunkles that escaped its confided on Venus and crash landed on Black Rock, seeking revenge against the Doctor for making such an ugly thing!
... okay that sounds really odd....

What ever!

Go nuts! Go Wild!
Keep it under 5 chapters Please! :D

***LATEST ON COMPETITION DEADLINE*********

Due to the Christmas Holidays looming fast, myself and Whipblade have held an important management meeting, you know the kind, lot's of tea and biscuits, anyway I'm getting off the point, the point being that we have decided to extend the deadline of the No Holds Bared Competition, we are giving you lucky people an extra month to get your entries finished and submitted.

Also, from here on in, all writting competitions will have a two month deadline and all art competitions will have a one month deadline, we the Arbitors, hope that this will ease your furrowed browes a little.

On a personal note, if I don't get to speak to any of you between now and Christmas, I would like to wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a glorious New Year.

Hardworking Arbiters, what I like to see.

Also nice to know I'm not the only one that gets stupid on chocolate derivatives :P

Just a couple of questions.

The original characters are compulsory, yes? Can we have used them before?
No more than three OCs and five chapters.

Are those the only rules?

And...

What's the closing date?

They can be characters you have used before, but the story has to be completely NEW.
Closing date... Saturday December 13th 2008 voting to commence after that.

Thankee kindly. I've been toying with a storyline for a new OC for a while, so this seems like the perfect excuse to kick my rear-end into gear and write it!

Make sure you know how to set up polls correctly Arbiters, I can't remember if I gave you power to edit them (think I did), I'm not sure about the reliability of my internet access during December as I won't be home.

Ooh, cool. This was just the chance *cough*cough*excuse*cough*cough* I was looking for to whip up something new. Hmm, I have to think on it a little.
We just state it's for the compition in the story, or send you a PM when it's done?

All my life I've looked for something better. Maybe when I lose hope I'll settle for you.

I've got this great idea of the bros being on Titanic, but I can't write it for one reason: SCHOOL!!!!! >:(

In this Wild and Wooly Universe, there are only FOUR things you can count on: Your Brains, Your Bros, Your Bike and the brilliance of Pink Floyd!!!

School? Hah! You have to get your priorities right, Kashito. I mean, what's more important - an education that will provide you with the key foundation for your life... or a BMFM competition? I think the answer is obvious.

I would never throw anything at a fellow Vinnie-fan. Except possibly a cuddly toy Vinnie (now, why aren't those available?!)

Pray Silence please guys and gather around. I would like to ask that if anyone has any questions regarding the competition, to address them to me for a few days, as Whipblade is not at all well. I'm sure that you would all like to join me in wishing Whipblade a speedy recovery, so remember, if it's to do with the competition, then I'm your mouse for the next few days.

btw not to sound mad or anything but you don't say in the rules that it have to be in chapters - you should write that there, I think, because that can confuse people (just like it do to me ^^; )
