New Fantasy writing/modelling comp
It was going to be a mid-October launch, but have decided to launch now as it may take some time for people to decide to join and to get judges etc sorted. https://i.imgur.com/6m0241E.png ...

Scoring and Rules
Following the brief accurately /10
*It is imperative that you read the brief as this will indicate how and where you present your class in the story, and through the picture but mainly the short story and how you will cover each stage of the quest.
Suitable background including other Sims/creatures if they are used. /5
*This is more about a relevant location, and means that if the brief is talking about a trip through a dungeon, for example, that the background, if not provided for you by me, is accurate to that location. The story-line is still the main objective.
Composition: /5 is more about the overall shot, proportion, poses, expressions, accessories and weapons if you choose some, not the actual outfit. You may even choose to use the same outfit over and over but different poses, hair and locations as it is not a fashion competition.
Storyline: /15
*The storyline will be continued through each round and so the judges and I will be seeing how well they are written, the content and how you continue the story’s relevance. Punctuation, spelling and grammar will be encouraged, but we will not be too pedantic on these unless it is too hard to understand as we don’t want to scare people off wanting to give this a go.
NB: Judges’ preference will always be a part of judging, but for this competition we will not be awarding points for this, as it is mainly about keeping the story going and how accurately you can present your character class in response to the relevant brief.
Bonus Points – up to 10 points per round can be earned. These are broken down as follows:
1. Early submission of the picture and story (submit before the due date) – up to 3 bonus points
2. Story imagination (how well you can up the imagination ante) – up to 4 bonus points
3. Extra props & people to enhance your overall shot (how these extras are portrayed in your write up and photo) – up to 3 bonus points.
Rules
*Please support each other and enjoy the competition
*No photo-skinning or face plastering
*Drawn hair is acceptable
*CC clothing or maxis-made, and google outfits are all acceptable.
*Accessories where ever you can find them.
*In-game, drawn or google backgrounds are allowed
*Each Round will last between 10 -14 days, depending on how quick the round entries are submitted.
*Please check in after judging.
* I will give you regular updates and reminders as the due dates draw closer.
* You may edit twice only in each round.*
**Since it is a fairly long time between rounds, one 24 hour extension only will be allowed as 10-14 days is quite a flexible span of time between rounds, otherwise it will drag out too long and be too much of a wait for those who have put theirs in on time or early. It will be granted however, if asked for prior to the due date.**
NB: If at any time you need the rounds earlier for one reason or another (such as going away), please let me know and I'll PM them to you so you can get your entry in and then send it to me via PM and I will put it up for you around the same time as the other contestants.
