You don't need to write 20 pages. That is the absolute maximum - I'd much rather people write less than that!smcginnis wrote:it would probably take me two years to write 20 pages, not two months.
Just Text. But like I said above, try to avoid skirting the maximum. Remember someone has to read this.Does this mean 20 pages of raw text + pictures or 20 pages including pics?
The same reason why you aren't allowed to submit drawings of LEGO models for the Colossal Contest - this is a LEGO contest, use as much LEGO as possible.should the ilustrations be strictly pictures of actual bricks or they can be drawings?
Photoshop effects are allowed, yes.1) Is the old "photoshop creates an army" trick allowed?
Custom pieces (Lil Armory, RedBean, Decals, Anything you have made) are allowed. Clone brands and non-LEGO are generally not allowed.2) Are custom parts/flags/capes etc allowed?
3) Are clone brands elements (heresy! Twisted Evil ) allowed for story's sake?
4) Are non lego elements ( props, real life objects...) allowed?
Normally, I'd say no. But I don't want to see any sexual violence, like rape, etc. Murder, maiming, blood, guts - I'm cool with as much of that you can dish out using LEGO pieces.5) Any restrictions on the level of violence?
I didn't think two months was short notice. But extending it another month would be no problem!6) Date line is a bit tight for such short notice, any chance of further delaying a week or two?
Your method is an excellent way to do an Illustrated story. Stories only need to be Double Spaced if you're making a word document and inserting the pictures into it. If you are doing something like Athos's method, that is perfectly fine with me!Question: does it have to be double-spaced or will the spacing in my prior stories be ok?
Installments are fine. Just email me when the entire story is completed and in one final location.Question: can we post installments on the boards or in our brickshelf galleries as we go? Or do we have to hold off until it is completed?
If our pics are a bit fuzzy, but the construction set is great, will we still lose marks?
Nope, yep, and the minimum length is one word/one photo. Exactly how you convey a beginning, middle, and end with only a single word and image is up to you.Does it matter what word program we use? Can we directly e-mail the stories to you? Is there a minimum lenght?
This is, in fact, strongly encouraged. Anything that starts with "my own" relates immeadiately to creativity! Be creative! Be creative! Strong points for creativity!Sorry about so many questions, I would just like to know, and can we have our own settings, like in our own fantasy lands?
For some reason i was having the impression of having one month to work at it, my badGlencaer wrote:I didn't think two months was short notice. But extending it another month would be no problem!
I think it's ok just to have models and scenery. BTW here is a good thing on how to make backdrops: http://www.ozbricks.com/andrastavia/03o ... xtra2.htmlbrtsrlthwrld wrote:hello,
I was wondering if we need to have a backdrop, my models are sitting on a table in my garage, and i have no physical backdrop, and i have no idea how ot even start to digitaly add one, so is it important to have a backdrop, or is it ok to just have models and scenery
