Does it have to include all of those things? And yes, this is good for me. Robots sound hard though. I find robots cumbersome and cheesy in my stories. They're fun if you do about ai declaring war on humans.... Cheesy cliche, but then it's hard to fit in anything else. Hmmm.
Does it have to be all of them? Really? It'd leave your short story a little full.

Well, very full.

Actually, your story can be as long as you'd like it, and yes, you have to include all.

But robots could just be a small piece of machinery that does some cool thing, not a giant humanoid robot with laser guns and all.  tongue

If you're a judge though, you can't be a writer.

I think I might want to pull out. Sorry, but I've never written science fiction before and it would probably suck.

Try your best, and if you can't or don't think you will be able too, then yes, you can pull out.

@She_Is_Of_Dream: Ok! Yes you are excepted! I am not going to be in round one so me and you will be the judges.

Ok guys! Today we begin! If you can't write what I posted, feel free to pull out, I don't want to over-exert your writing abilities.

Now accepting signups for round two! If you are participating in round one, I'm afraid you can't come in round two.

Ok then, I'll take you off the list.

You can join round two if you'd like, as it will not be science fiction, but a different genre that based off your writing I think you'll do good as. I won't tell you anymore about the next round.

Re: Write to DEATH - A challenging competition for avid writers

Writing Tips!

Correct Formatting

This is a demonstration of how to format your book, I'll show you the wrong way and the right way:

Wrong Way
There once was a guy who lived in a house. He liked the house a lot and didn't want to move away from it forever.

But one day the guy said, "Oh!" as his house shook, and fell over. He cried all day and night and wouldn't stop, even though the police told him to.

The guy never saw his beloved house again, even though he tried to rebuild it with its original blueprints.

Try to get correct formatting in your story! You'll get extra points from the judges!

You won't! Up to about two rounds go at one time. Round two will begin on April 6th. Round three will begin on April 24th, so those from round one can join three.
