Challenge Fanfiction Summer Olympics

Wonderful to see everyone continuing to chip away at their events!

A friendly reminder to everybody that as of tomorrow, there will be half a month left in the Olympics!

Time to muster the energy for that final push!

 

Congratulations on finishing your Pentathlon, @Seldes_Katne!

I'm happy to announce that I've finished my Padme Decathlon.

On a housekeeping note, I'd ask all competitors to review the index post (post #2 in the thread) sometime before the competition ends to ensure that their story if started is linked to, because those are the links I will be following after the competition closes to award gold, silver, and bronze medals. I would hate to not give someone credit because their story wasn't linked in the index. If your stories are all listed correctly, you don't have to do anything (yay) but if you notice that I'm missing a link to your story, please tag me in this thread and let me know or send me a PM. Then I can fix the problem as soon as possible. Thank you

 

Wonderful to see you started another Pentathlon, @brodiew!

I've added it to the index

 

@amidalachick Yes, it's definitely okay to keep writing for events after the deadline. I'd love it if this challenge inspired more stories even after the event was officially over, and I know that feeling of time flying by when you finally do get ideas from your muse.

Congrats on getting some things written and posted today as well!

 

@TheRynJedi I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties. I totally understand how your muse could have run away from you this summer. My muse has often fled on me and I don't even have children to look after. Best wishes to you and your family during this time of craziness!Also, if it makes you feel any better, you can definitely keep updating your Decathlon after the event if your muse does return.

 

@Raissa Baiard Congrats on completing your Decathlon

 

Hosting this event has been a pleasure. I'm so glad that you enjoyed this event, @Jâd Sphera.

It has been wonderful to see all the stories and creativity inspired by this event, and to have my own creativity sparked. Can't believe there are only a few days left until the Closing Ceremony!

 

Lovely to see everyone continuing to chip away at their their projects as September 1st approaches!

I was able to finish my Obi-Wan Kenobi Pentathlon: The Negotiator.

As a general reminder to everyone, the competition closes on September 1st. I will probably make the official closing post as close to midnight EST as I can on September 1st to give everybody as much time to finish before the deadline as I can.

Then I will look at everybody's story threads to see what awards they have earned and post those awards in this thread for our award ceremony as soon as possible. Hopefully I can have that award ceremony post up sometime on September 2nd. That will mark the conclusion of our Fanfiction Summer Olympics.

Good luck in the home stretch of this event as you make your final pushes, everyone!

 

@JediMaster_Jen Congratulations on completing your Temiri Blagg Pentathlon

@mavjade Sorry to hear that your writing class killed your muse. I know that feeling. Some of the creative writing classes I took in college were great for killing my creativity.

I'm glad that you posted what you got done, and you can definitely finish once the challenge is over if you'd like. I think a few other people want to do the same thing so you won't be alone if you decide to do that.

I've updated the index with a link to your story so everyone can find it

 

@JediMaster_Jen Great effort to get your Rey/Poe triathlon completed before the end of the competition!

On that note, it's time for our Fanfiction Summer Olympics Closing Ceremony



This post marks the official closing of the Fanfiction Summer Olympics. In the course of this Olympics, we saw much creativity and diligent writing from our many contestants, who produced marvelous stories for everyone to admire. At this time, I would like to thank all the competitors across all the different events as well as the spectators who read and reviewed, who all displayed the finest Olympic values and brought us closer together in this era of social distancing.



I hope that all the authors, readers, and reviewers who participated in this event and helped make it such a dazzling success have enjoyed the Summer Olympics as much as I have. It has been my pleasure and honor to host this Fanfiction Summer Olympics.

Please stay tuned for tomorrow's award ceremonies, where gold, silver, and bronze medals will be awarded to our competitors in recognition of their hard work and dedication to writing.
