We'll be kicking things off with demigod sports. The following rules apply

-Register here but write your story elsewhere
-Keep a moderate length
-For the love of Apollo please do some form of spell checking
-If somebody critiques then respond maturely
-Get in before the end of the month
-I'm not a stickler for clean conduct but have some restraint.
-Do not feel restrained to just post HoO related things, dabbling with other fictions is accepted
-This first round will have no judges, it'll simply be popular vote. The Winner/Winners will be the next rounds judges to prevent one person winning all the time
-As a show of good faith all contestants will give props to the winner/winners
-Other rules may be added to fit the situation
-Have fun

It just occurred to me that the Roman's already have deathball copyrighted so I need to rename my sport.
over a year ago corrected said…

Do we have to create a sport or can we use any sport and write a story about it?
over a year ago Spikegilfer1997 said…
Create one. Story, petition, rulebook, take your pick.
over a year ago Nicolicious said…
Damn, so I can't do Gladiating?
over a year ago Spikegilfer1997 said…
I was going to say "No" but that seems to be artificially limiting the story horizon. Go for it.

You're welcome.
over a year ago Nicolicious said…
Now here's a question. Cause it's a One-Shot does it go in Articles or Forums?
over a year ago Spikegilfer1997 said…
I'd say articles but I'm not picky.

Le how the hell have you not conquered the entire internet when you can think of ideas like that?
over a year ago Nicolicious said…
I have no idea.
over a year ago Spikegilfer1997 said…
You could have waited quite a bit of time you know.
over a year ago Nicolicious said…
I posted it now, so I have a better chance of more people reading it.

over a year ago Alex13126 said…
Weee~ I have two questions~

A) Are we allowed to collab with other people?
B) Can it be an OC story?
over a year ago Spikegilfer1997 said…
Clarification requested: What's a OC?
over a year ago 8xchristellax8 said…
^Original Character
over a year ago Spikegilfer1997 said…
Twas my original intention honestly to have it mostly be OC's then. But on the collab I'll have to say no.
over a year ago JasmineValdez said…
I'm going to write mine now. XP

over a year ago corrected said…

over a year ago Spikegilfer1997 said…
Fighting is a sport.
over a year ago 8xchristellax8 said…
sports are fighting in a way though, if you think about it
over a year ago Spikegilfer1997 said…
This time it's just popular vote.
corrected commented…
ok over a year ago
over a year ago corrected said…
i know fighting is a sport. I said there wasnt any OTHER sport being written about
over a year ago Spikegilfer1997 said…
I've only seen NicoL's, so you're correct.
over a year ago 8xchristellax8 said…
because writing about fighting sports are more fun!!!! ^-^
over a year ago Spikegilfer1997 said…
Indeed.
over a year ago Nicolicious said…
Gladiator Battles were sport in Rome, so was chariot racing. Fencing is a sport and fencing is more or less sword fighting.
over a year ago Spikegilfer1997 said…
Fencing however is limited to a rapier style weapon and thus uses only thrusting attacks.
over a year ago Nicolicious said…
True.
over a year ago Spikegilfer1997 said…
POKE WARS ARE LAME, SLASHING WEAPONS FO`LIFE!

haha XD
over a year ago Spikegilfer1997 said…
Which is one of the reasons I used katana's all the time.
over a year ago Nicolicious said…
Celtic cold steel swords are better.
over a year ago Spikegilfer1997 said…
I kind of like the Zweihander but it seems so limited.
over a year ago rainbow_girl said…
this is a cool idea. i would enter the contest, but i dont have much time, and i dont have any ideas.
over a year ago Alex13126 said…
Oh hey, when's the fanfic due?
over a year ago Spikegilfer1997 said…
Preferably before the twenty seventh. Why is one of my alternate accounts on the featured fans?
