Ferrus Manus Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Basically I've had an idea for an informal contest of sorts. Where an entrant has 15 days to write a fully fledged IA article. But before I sort it out, I just want to know who would be intrested in doing it. There would be no prize or anything, it would just be enjoyable and the winner would have a damn good article.

Tyrannicide Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I'd be interested in doing this, it would push my arse along to actually finish one. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138725-ia-in-15-days/#findComment-1601282 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 This might be a good time to expand one of my Chapter schemes I've got :D I'll think about it because I'm kinda busy this week and next week.

flintlocklaser Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I'd enter as well. Sounds like a fun little deal! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138725-ia-in-15-days/#findComment-1601330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrata Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Funny, the Moderatoring team were just discussing what the next competition was going to be, we had something a little harder planned :rolleyes: Fifteen Days isn't a horribly short time to write an IA, especially if you have the time to dedicate to it. Darrel and Molotov attempted (I can't remember if they succeeded but I presume they did) to do 10 articles in 10 days, but that might not be to everyone tastes.

Ferrus Manus Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 Well, I discussed it with Darth Potato and I originally suggested 10 days, but he said 15 because it would be more managable. But hey, if guys want 10 days it can be 10 days. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138725-ia-in-15-days/#findComment-1601351 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasoroth Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I'm for either. Definitely be interested in doing this, either writing up an alternative IA for my Subjugators, or one for my fledgling Chaos warband.

jlmb_123 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 It would be a good way to get people to dip into IA's too. People like ME! I think I'd give it a bash.

Ein Windir Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I'm new to the whole DIY thing. So what must be done by the 10 day? Thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138725-ia-in-15-days/#findComment-1601460 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrus Manus Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 I'm new to the whole DIY thing. So what must be done by the 10 day? A complete Index Astartes Article, so it must include an Origins, Homeworld, Organisation, Combat Doctrine, Beliefs and Geneseed sections. If you want an example, theres a link in my sig and theres plenty of IAs in the Librarium.

Brother Cambrius Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Unsuprisingly I'm ready to go on this one. The only problem is that I'm not going to be here for 4 day periods over the next month.

Ferrata Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 *looks at date* Why isn't there a light bulb smiley? Anyway, I propose this. It is now the 16th June, which works quite nicely for the time frame. I will start a thread (which will be stickied) that runs along the lines of this: "I, [name], pledge to [insert task] by the end of June." Well, we might make it look nicer, but you get the idea. This way you can do anything, start and finish a chapter or finish one you are doing at the moment. Everyone posts a link to their thread and we will help each other as much as possible. How does that sound FM? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138725-ia-in-15-days/#findComment-1601563 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrus Manus Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 Thats fine, same purpose as the contest but easier for people. So I guess I'll start: I, Ferrus Manus, pledge to complete IA:Knights of Helion by the end of June. However, I said to Cambrius he could join and he's away alot for the next month so instead I said he could spend the same time on it as us, so 14 days but in his own time.
