Vignette Rules

1. One submission per character.

2. All entries have to be within the declared period. Editing your post and completely changing your submission is okay as long as all the edits occur before midnight EST on the closing day.

3. The moderator judging the monthly vignette contest may post a vignette at the end, but will not be eligible for first or second place.

4. Only on-topic vignettes are liable for rewards. The topics are broad enough that no character should be particularly limited.

5. PCs must be involved in all vignettes. How "canonical" you choose to have the events of the vignette is up to you.

6. All participants receive EXP. The top two finishers also receive GP. (Clarification: this excludes off-topic submissions, as per Rule 4).

7. Entries are assessed on the following merits:


• Use of topic: Did the writer use the topic, or write something completely random and off topic?
• Creativity: Did the writer make something unique out of the topic or was it more cliche?
• Mechanics: Basic writing mechanics: spelling, grammar, punctuation, word usage, etc.
• Notes: Additional comments.


Prompt: Your character has lost something they love for a time. This can pertain to anything your character may love. It can be another character, a weapon/item, ability, skill… anything at all. What happens leading up to this loss? How does your character handle this loss? What happens throughout the struggle to regain this lost love?

Vignette open from February 6, 2019 through March 6, 2019
