This can be any type of story as long as it's about your kennel. Some examples include a back story of how it came to be, a story about some hardship your kennel has faced, a story about how you came to specialize in a breed, or anything that comes to mind. <br><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold"><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span style="font-size:150">Judging :</span></span></span> <br>Judging will be done by me and possibly 1-2 other people (not on VP). I will judge on how much effort you put into your plot and on creativity. Spelling and grammar will also count but I won't be a stickler on this as I know I often make mistakes. As long as you try to use correct capitalization, punctuation, and spelling I won't take off from your score. However, if I notice a lot of errors this will effect your final judging. If there is a tie between stories I will seek out opinions from other judges and if we still can't decide I will draw names from a hat.<br><br>Here is a rough scale on how I will judge.<br><br>Concept - 60%<br>Effort - 20%<br>Creativity - 10%<br>Legibility/Spelling/Punctuation - 10%<br><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold"><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span style="font-size:150">Rules:</span></span></span> <br>-No teams allowed, this is a one on one contest. <br>-Do not share your ideas.<br>-Stories must be at least a paragraph (5 sentences) long.<br>-Stories must be your own creation, Plagiarism is against the TOS of the game!<br>- Stories must abide by the TOS, which means material must be child friendly.<br>-This is important for filling out the entry form : Tenchi is Para's rotten Pekingese. <br>-Submissions are to be PM'ed to me. <span style="font-weight:bold">DO NOT POST THEM PUBLICLY!</span><br>-Submissions should have the subject "Kennel Story"<br>-Only one submission per person allowed so make sure your story is complete when you send!<br>-After the contest is over you have the choice to submit your story publicly for others to read.<br><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold"><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span style="font-size:150">Prizes: </span></span></span><br>*Note* the 1st place sponsor kennel will not be given away until the other prizes are claimed.<br><br>1st - Sponsor Breeding kennel that expires in July with, 1 kennel change, 2 unmade imports, and 8 Damchi Imports groomed.
