Welcome to the first RayC!
The RayC is all about creativity, community building, and stepping out of your comfort zone! You will be paired up with someone at random, likely someone you have never written with. You will be given a randomly generated list of elements, all of which you must incorporate into your story. You will even be given a genre to experiment with. Odds are, you'll be writing something entirely unlike what you have done in the past! Are you up for the challenge?
Details
All participants will be separated into pairs using a random group generator.
Once the teams are assigned, I will roll for each team using the dice feature in chat. These rolls will determine the elements that must be present in the story (which can be found below).
All threads will be judged by me (Rayleigh), using a slightly altered condensed rubric. This rubric will take into account how well the elements were incorporated.
There will be no posting time limit (so long as the thread is completed by the deadline).
Edits can be made throughout the duration of the event.
The RayC will last two weeks.
There is only one round.
This is not an official, staff-endorsed tournament. It is a Rayleigh-endorsed tournament, so it will be more fun anyway.
Joining
Anyone may join, but if there is high interest, preference will be given to those not currently competing in the AC.
You may enter any character of your choosing, but only one per writer. No alts allowed.
The cost to join is 300 GP (or 3 AP). This will cover the judgment, and help to improve the final prize.
Note that this tournament will require teamwork, collaboration, and a bit of fun. If you are not willing to play nice, this may not be the event for you.
Prize
Any rewards typically received from a condensed judgment (to all players).
A portion of the GP pool (to the top two teams).
The chance to become the first story featured in Althanas Audio. Your thread will be read by myself, and perhaps a few guest stars.
Without further ado, here are the possibilities. You will be assigned one of each. Teams will never share elements - once one is rolled, it is removed from the list for future selections. This is to add variety to the stories.

THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL SIGNUP THREAD
I am more interested in who might want to play along. This is also a rough draft, so if anyone has any proposed changes or suggestions, I would love to hear them! :)
