Write about a mythological creature, win a $25 ENWorld gift certificate

[Jürgen Hubert]

A few weeks ago, I started the Arcana Wiki to provide a system-less source of inspiration for role-playing games. And to stir up some interest, I initiated a contest for those willing to write entries for the Mythological Creatures section of the wiki. The best entry - as judged by me - will get a $25 gift certificate at the ENWorld online store.

But the August 1st deadline is coming up soon, and so far only a single person has submitted anything. Which surprises me - after all, participating isn't all that much work, and I would have thought that more people would have been interested in this gift certificate. But maybe it's just that not enough people have heard of it.


So, is anyone else interested in participating?

Anyone?

No one?

I feel sorry that I haven't done anything, but on the other hand, I haven't looked much into your Wiki either. :/

Well, there's still time until Friday is over...

Hmmm. This is the first I've seen of your wiki, but I like what I see. I'm having hellish problems with ENWorld, so I'll use that as an excuse for missing this. I think I might try my hand at this.

Glad to hear it!

Oh, and I've started working on some significant expansions on the wiki since I started the contest - a historical timeline and a Tropes section among them. And I'm glad to report that I'm not the only one working on new pages...

One day left...

Working on an entry, hope to have it done before midnight Central time, U.S. (so it'll still technically be in by August 1st).

Well, as long as you submit it on Augst 1st, it will still be fine. Basically, it will be over when I wake up on Saturday morning (Central European Time).

By the way, one of the people reading this has done the Black Shuck entry: You need to use the template I provided for posting your entry to your ENWorld blog (as I described in the contest call. The wiki uses a different formatting (although ultimately, it's the blog entry that counts for the purposes of the contest, since the wiki entry may be altered by others).
