If you want to be part of one of TS's big contests then please, vote and give us your opinions on the matter. The art contest went incredibly well, and I am willing now to take it further and have yet another site based contest where the winners are rewarded with posts and even their piece displayed for everyone to see.
Woo!

I reckon a story contest would be pretty good. But I dunno how you'd display the story on the homepage if it was really long. Never the less, I like that idea personally.

i hate to sound like a totaly antagonist, but i dont think a story contest is that great of an idea. after all, every IC post we make is in its own way a story, and how do you deterim what it good and what is bad? there are somany was to write, ways that not every oen compleetly understands. Then length would have to be taken into account. some storys are better long then short and vice versa, but its not always fair, becase i know some people will tier from reading a bunch of long storys. perhaps if you made a limit as to how long it was? then it woudl be easier to display as well.
I do liek the idea of a poetry contest, though it does share mostly all of the same problems as the story contest. lengh, way it written, ect. BUt at least we know its going to push people to try something new or diffrent. after all, we already know we can all write stories.
Something else you could do is a banner contest or something? give us some pics, and some words, and tell us to go crazy and see what sorts of banners people can come up with?
Or a caption contest? have some one create a black one page comic, and have people insert their own words, to make it funny or apealing?
well thats my 4 cents... ((it was definetly more then two, but very much less then 7...))

I'm with Zhents 100%.. Story's would be kinda wierd and we are writting story's technically... I like the banner contest idea. or the comic one.. It sounds like a spin off of the caption contest

I like the banner and comic idea too! Or what about a graphics contest? Like: we're given a picture and we can play with it as we like and see what comes out.

The problem with the banner or graphics contest is that not everyone has tools on their computer to take part such as Photoshop or Coral Painter. You know? It's just a bit...hmmm...
However much I like the idea, it's not very fair. Where as an art contest is slightly more fair that even if someone doesn't feel like they can draw, they can still take part through any means possible be it traditional pencil or computerised.
For the story contest it would obviously be a short story contest. I might make it humerous or horror, you never know. And I know we are all creating out own stories on TS, but this doesn't have to involve a particular character on TS and follow their life - it can be a dream they had or what not. But remember this is all going to be judged by votes here.
Poetry too would be short, nothing more that like 250 words, lol. That would jsut be 
Caption contests we have going already...but one that would involve the winner having their caption and the picture displayed would be quite a good idea. Pity us admins get lazy with the caption contests...it's high time the last one was judged >.<

I believe that an art contest would be the best with a new subject of course. Instead of drawing your own character perhaps you would have to draw on of the Gods such as Fenris, Tor, or Wolfbane or maybe all of them. Or perhaps a specific scene from the novel.
I don't really like the idea of a story or poem contest however I'm not completely oppossed to it either. I just think it would drag out even longer than the art contest did and it just may loose interest.
The dream contest sounds interesting but it would be difficult to judge as well as hard to ensure no one was simply lying or making it up. The caption contest we already do so I find that pointless.
The graphics contest is really awesome but as the point was already made, not everyone would be able to partake which is upsetting.
New ideas I fall short on... uh.. yeah...

Hmm... Not all of us here are necessarilly drawing on the same level--I'm against artwork, seeing as some of us will like to enter, but cannot.
However, I see that the largest majority of members here a good, literate writers. I suggest a writing contest.
