User blog:AverageHero/Fall Schedule Idea

Ello, Hola, & Bonjour! It's Avi, reviving Webly's Summer Schedule as the new & improved Fall Schedule!

12 stories. ? weeks. 3 critics. 1 schedule. 1 game. As most of you know, Webly attempted to start the Summer Schedule, a summer writing competition that I absolutely loved! And I know for a fact that some of you guys did too... Which is why I have revived it into the Fall Schedule!

Most of the same rules still apply, as stories will be eliminated one by one (or two by two if I wish), until only one is left standing! The one that will be rewarded as The Best Fall Story of 2012!

So, let's get started!

Contestants' Rules: Judges' Rules: Stories Competing:
 * 12 stories will still be competing. Users can submit one of their own stories along with a collab that they're writing with another user if they wish.
 * You are allowed to quit, but I do hope you wouldn't since you signed up to compete.
 * You must read the latest chapter of one story from each of the other two teams.
 * You must also give atleast a comment consisting of two complete sentences.
 * Reading & commenting stops when Friday ends.
 * Users will have 2 weeks to post a new chapter for each round, unlike the former 1 week in Summer Schedule.
 * You must premiere chapters in order.
 * If any contestant says a user read their story, and I find out that they didn't, you will be automatically removed from the competition.
 * If any users lie, claiming that a contestant forced them to read their story, you will be punished.
 * You must post your chapter within the hour of your chosen timeslot. Every hour late that you post it will be a one point deduction. However, the highest amount of points that can be deducted is five.
 * If you know that you aren't going to be able to make your deadline and have a reasonable excuse, you must message me so I know. Lazyness isn't an excuse.
 * Every contestant is given one excused week due to vacation or severe illness.
 * Judges' do not count as "readers" in the case of reading stories on their own team.
 * However, if they read a story on another team as well, it counts as a "reader".
 * Judges must post a blog critiquing the remaining stories on their team before the end of Saturday.
 * If the Judge is going be gone, they need to contact me so that a substitute can take their place.
 * If a Judge does not post a critique blog for one week without noticing me that they would be gone, they will be replaced... permanently.
 * Every 3 weeks, Judges will rotate teams.

Contestants are allowed to choose their own time slot and specified time zone, as long as chapters are posted between Sunday @ Midnight - Friday @ Midnight... Confirmed Critics:
 * Avi's Total Drama Honolulu ~ Mondays @ 8:00 Central

Users can apply, but I won't guarentee you'll be accepted right away. It all depends on your affiliation with reading and writing...
