You will have a story you are already writning.. So updating that story make you gain marks.
Then anybody can give out storylines on mondays.. The first five will be worked on...

So my first one will be that we all write the story of Snowwhite and the seven dwarf. We will be writing it from the view of her step mother.

Have you discussed that with Princesa?

what I meant there is that we will be going to vote for the people not that we will be giving them the money...
The members of this thread will vote for the best three among us @ the thread.

A fault up there. Have you thought about writers who won't join this competition? If the members of this competition end up voting for the three writers here, every month, then non-members won't win the awards. And I think Princesa said a writer can only win the award once so it can go round. If a writer like me is among the best three here and I end up getting votes from members here at the voting thread, are you saying I will win the awards for a second time?
Try to edit some things. Not every writer will join this competetion and not every literature section user will become a member. Its a nice concept which I think should be limited to the recharge card prize.
I may be wrong tho. OMA4U what do you think?

Nice thing you got going here. I want to suggest you leave Princessa's N5000 thread out of this though, to avoid confusing the voters. Besides, it will be more fun on its own, with or without monetary incentive. Some people thrive on just raking in points.

With good publicity annd dedication on thee part of the writers, this thread can, and will survive on its own.

You're not wrong. Divepen still needs to edit. I like the concept too. Well done, Divepen.

Snow or what did I see? Please, let's write something we can relate with. I don't live in the part of the world where snow falls.

lol that's what I thought also: we can all relate to love,family,marriage,etc....so we can different stories in different ways relating th that....

Exactly my point.

Yea, I hope he modifies and limits the reward to recharge cards.

Not all NL writers can/will join. Linking this with princesa's N5000 thread will not be fair on those who are not part of this.
Re: Checkmate- A Nairaland Competition by D9ty7(m): 3:16pm On Dec 08, 2014
Ah never see snow before in my life.
