I think we should be able to. If we have a fanfiction contest, we should have different categories, like multi-chapter, oneshot, peotry, songfic, ect.

Actually, here's an idea....

Have a fanfiction contest, but the judge picks the plot or something like that. Whoever writes it the best wins.

That's a good idea Riya, maybe that'll be the next contest.

I've decided to leave the FMA forums permanently.I just don't have the time nor the interested to be here. Thanks for understanding, I know it will be fine without me.

I'm on MSN Messenger often, so if you want to say hi or just chat, you can find me at katana_aya [AT] hotmail [DOT] com

I suggest a quiz here would make some good rules:

1:The answear must be submitted withen a 5 minute time period (that's pretty good because even on google you have to know the right site to go to and what episode number and name.)

2:Certain questions for different group catergories.A mod or admin can over see the individual groups.
group for people who only seen eps 1-25,
group for 1-51 with no one haven't seen the movie,
group of people who have seen the movie and the entire anime,
and last Manga group. I tried to keep it minimal as possible.

3:make a poll for the active time users are on the site (ie:afternoon,8,9,10 and so on.)

4:Cens for each correct answaer (something around 2 to 5 cens a correct answear should be enough)


5:If a answaer is duplicated (like 1 min after each other) give the cens to the first correct answear.


6:The person who answeared the last question asks the next question (to keep a balance instead of just one user getting all the answears).

Those should be some good guide lines for FMA trivia.

That's why i would ome up with a poll first to see what time the average user is usually on.You can kind of bass it off that info,but it still would have small kinks.

Well, first of all, not all people get on at the same time everyday.

Second of all, all the different time zones would get confusing.

Third of all, a lot of people won't get a chance to enter.

I think a quiz wouldn't be fair to everyone. It would be better if it were just a fun things to do, not an actual competition.

I still think someone should make a fanfiction contest.

1. A video clip for best Armtrong impersonation. THAT WOULD ROCK!!!

2. A video clip of a large fan following at your school or other place for fma, with cosplayers, T-Shirts, banners promoting the forum, and other various things!

3. best new alchemist / homunculi with a drawing, an explanation of skills (within reason),

4. best philosopher's stone

best fanart of a coupling from the show. with a rule against Roy x Ed or Armstrong x Ed, but Lust x Riza would be fine!

An RP contest would be interesting, testing problem-solving and writing abilities...

About the trivia, I could write a script that would automatically submit after a certain amount of time :o

I definitely agree with the fanfic/artwork idea, but to narrow it down a bit more, how about we have like themed fanfic/artwork? That way, for example if it were a fanfic, we could make them only one-shots, to prevent like unfinished fanfics, and they would be easier to judge. Sort of like errrr, LJ?

And as for artworks, maybe have a certain theme to it, or they have to have a certain object in the artwork?

Also, maybe a contest on who can come up with the best FMA quotes? And then like you can put a poll of the most popular, and that might help narrow down the winner?

Nyah. Not that great at making suggestions, am I @_@;;

Oneshots, definitely. They'd have to be...

Another option is to go for 50-word stories. I saw a collection of them once; they greatly impressed me. And they're really hard to write... To wrap an idea up, a concept, in fifty words is difficult. One person did it all in alliteration, a story about a widower coming home to find his wife gone...

Anyways, that's an extention to the one suggestion.
