7/18-8/18 contest

I am proud to announce the first smut writing contest, sponsored by the Library of Fornicandria! This writing contest will run from (7/18) to the same day of next month (8/18) to give people time to write!

This Contest's Topic: "Heart Racing Shelf Stuffer!"
>The Library is a bit bare right now, so a general increase in inventory is in order. The Head Librarian has ordered for a loosening of Library acceptance policies to increase foot traffic and to whet the appetites of potential writers!
The general goal is romance, not necessarily hot and heavy smut. It must be Pokemon related or related to members of this server. All entrants will have their works featured in the Smut Library regardless of placing!
**THERE MUST BE A MINIMUM OF THREE ENTRANTS, OTHERWISE THE CONTEST IS OFF**

Rules and Criteria:
>One entry per participant
>Must reasonably adhere to the topic
>Submissions must be done in Book and Quill, no mail!
>Submissions must be deposited into the donation chest at the Smut Library
>All literary forms accepted (Poems, Vignettes, Short Stories, etc.)
>If an author desires to remain anonymous, add "-anon" to the end of your story and a copy will be transcribed with an alternative title

SCORING GUIDELINES (100/100 Points)
>Emotion: does it make the reader feel? Angry? Sad? Does it make them laugh out loud or cringe at a character's actions? As long as the emotion is evocative, anything works! (40 pts)
>Polish: how well you utilize the English Language (Grammar, Spelling, Conciseness, Writing Style, etc.) (30 pts)
>Plot: can the story be followed? How well does the progression flow? (20 pts)
>Arousal: the sexier the better! (10 pts)

Given that this isn't a mod sanctioned event, the rewards will be as followed:
>3rd Place: 5 IV Luvdisc, a representative of fortuitous love!
>2nd Place: 2 Underwater Keys (Gonk), to help pursue what you love the most whether it be building or move tutoring!
>1st Place: 1 Masterball, to snare the Pokemon of your dreams!

FAQs:
>Why the three participant requirement?
This is a passive contest, and a particularly niche hobby that most people don't engage in, so this first contest is to test the waters. If there isn't enough interest, writing contests will be called off entirely to be in good faith with the server's general desired direction.
>I don't have my own book and quill!
Complimentary Book and Quills are provided by the Library in a chest right next to the donation box!
>What happens if there's a tie?
There will be great pains to avoid such a result since the Library's finances aren't enough to support multiple prizes. In the rare case that there is a tie, a run-off contest will be planned accordingly.
>Where is the Smut Library?
The coordinates are: 329x, 1274z. There is a waypoint you can use to return instantly to it once you've activated it!
>Why do the prizes suck compared to other contests?
It is not mod sanctioned and I am a filthy wagie so I can't be on the serb to farm prizes.

Any further questions can be directed to Arkesel, either via /msg or mail in the donation box
