    I thought it would be a cool and interesting idea if there was a writing competition here on the site. Though I would need the backing of any others not to mention the Admins here, but I think it would be fun none the less. Tell me what you all think about this, because honestly I believe that there a great number of awsome writers right here in the forums that need a little something like this to make not only their fics shine, but also to make us proud that they are here among us.

    I don't like to brag, but I believe am a talented writer.

    Just don't ask me to write a shipping fic, not into that.

    Ah in my opinion there would be only the six main categories already listed in the fanfic section, I would totally enter if it ever happened I love writing.

    Sure, I'd love to try it... if I had more free time. :p

    If I have some kind of prompt, I feel I can write really well. Something like this- as long as it has good guidelines and details- would be pretty fun for me.

    Great idea. Like a persuasive essay about which pony is best.
    That sounds like work...

    Here's a prompt: Try to write a story set in the Ponyverse in the style of Uncharted-esque adventure.

    @ParanoidPenguin- For me the writing will have to be a combo between ponyverse and either a fantasy setting or a Warhammer 40k setting which I already have in the works.

    I support this 100% It would also help get me off my lazy flank and write one of my stories.

    Issues to address would be how they are judged, what the prize/s would be and the length ( both in time and content).

    As for a theme, halloween anypony? ;P

    Writing contest?

    I like this idea, and I would gladly support it, but I need to think up how I would run it.

    I'll get back to you on that by tomorrow most likely.
