Fiction Contest: Out on Patrol (FREE MP PRIZES)


 It has been a tumultuous year in Heroes Rising. A giant robot attacked Vegas, a winter village and Easter village appeared out of nowhere. League Wars. Tug-of-Wars. A Hollywood celebrity caused havoc twice. Morphon Avatars appeared and then got kidnapped by a secret organization...and more. 

The most recent event came as Arx led a team of those strange mercs who went around kidnapping the avatars and causing general mayhem in their wake. Poseidon Island was leveled and Hollywood may take a long time to recover. 

The question on my mind: what were you doing during this? Using one of these three prompts, write a fan-fiction to tell what you were doing during these events. 

Prompt 1: Poseidon Island was leveled by a childish tantrum from Arx after finding out his part was recast. What did you do about that? Help clean up? Fight looters? Stave off another, unrelated, villain trying to take advantage of the chaos? Or something else?

Prompt 2: Hollywood is under siege. Arx has challenged the worlds heroes to try and stop him. He feel superior to God himself. What did you do during that fight? Save citizens? Protect property? Go one-on-one with Arx? Or something else?

Prompt3: (for new players) If you are new to the Heroes Rising world, tell me your origin story? Bonus points for incorporating it in the current events. 


 Rules:

• Fiction must be between 500-5000 words, don’t worry if you are slightly over the word count, just don’t go too far.

• Content must be PG13. No Erotica and nothing that is explicitly derogatory or inflammatory. Keep it fun for everyone.

- Judges have final authority over content, at their sole discretion.

Entering your story:

• All submissions should be posted as a top level post to the fan fiction forum. Include in the title of your post, “Contest Entry: (title of work)” Only posts with this as the title will be considered for the contest.

  • Don't forget to put your player id number somewhere in the post so we know who to give the rewards to. 

-- Fiction forum for posting is HERE

• The first line of the post should include “Contest Entry” and your in game player id (from your profile page)

• Post your story any time before the morning of August 15th.

Prizes

All reasonably good stories will get copies of the power card “Good Job”. (Worth 10mp each when sold)

The best stories will also get 3, 4 or 5 copies of “Stop the Presses” featured cards. (Worth 30mp each when sold)

Your stories will be featured on the front page of this site, and linked to from the homepage of Heroes Rising.

As always, all reasonable effort fiction posted in the forum is eligible for one “Reality Writer” card per week. So, just turning in something will earn you a 10mp card.

Special note: Plagiarism is not acceptable. Be original, do not use another story as your own. I know how hard it is to come up with original ideas, but do your best. I know Marvel and DC have come up with some cool stuff over the years, but don't borrow from them. Tell me your story, not theirs. I don't expect you to write professionally, just put effort in.
