The Writers' Study Newsletter – 23rd July What's happened, what is happening, and what is going to happen... The Intro This week we welcome back an old institution in the Writers’ Study – the duels and challenges. As we speak two eager contestants are gearing up to dazzle you – and each other with their literary prowess. No stone will be left unturned and no insult left unsaid as they do everything in their power to gain victory over the other. We look forward to seeing their creations and hope you enjoy them too. As ever we want to hear your thoughts in the Chat Thread. Adverts by our Writers Originally Posted by Paragon ONE SINGLE MAN Stainless Steel – Crown of Aragon Between chaos an order, the eternal glory of victory and sinking in the obscuerness of defeat, sorrounded by falling allies, the forging of a legend commences!

Or will he be ratted out as a traitor? Find out in chapter 3 of: The Last Great Acamar War!!! Tale of the Week We are still waiting for the TotW 148 poll to end, so hurry up and cast your vote here! TotW 149 has gone to the vote, and with some excellent submissions you'll be wishing for more than three votes. Read, decide and vote all on this thread. This week's TotW has been inspired by a personal favourite of mine... the annual encierro at Pamplona. Submit your stories here *Important News* Introduction Over the past couple of months there has been a whirlwind of activity behind the scenes in the Writers Study, and whilst some of you may have heard rumours (sorry) nothing definite has been confirmed. This is the aim of this little article, so to speak, to bring you up to speed with what we've got planned. A lot of the stuff is just minor things that won't affect your day-to-day visit, however for those of you who amongst the regulars of the Study you may catch up on some noticeable changes. Below we'll list most of the changes, and explain why they're happening, at the end we'd love to hear your thoughts. Forum Changes First off many of you may have noticed the 'Grand Archive' in the CW section, it is still a wonder to me why it is there in the first place - but we've decided to move it into the Lounge as a place for old threads to be archived. Also the Duels and Challenges forum will be moved into the CW section from the TotW forum, but what for... Speaking of the CW section we'll be bringing back out the 'Gilded Hall', which will be a place to store finished CW piece, some of you older members may remember it from ages gone by. We want the CW forum to be on par with its AAR counterpart, and we feel it is only fair that they are treated the same. The Narthex, which was a place for new writers to introduce themselves, will be merged with the WS Chat thread and will stay in the Lounge. We feel the chat thread should also be a place for new writers as well as a place to... well chat. Bearing the Lounge in mind the MAARC HoF will be merged with the WS Scoreboard and Hall of Fame, keeping the name of the latter. We felt the MAARC there is no need for both, and the MAARC is such a key part of the Study that the past winners can be immortalised in the Lounge. Flying to the AAR forums one will notice some changes as well. The actual AAR forum will play host to the Finished AAR Index, so be sure to check it out before going to read your favourite genre - there is some great stuff. The individual ones will remain where they are, but for a general browse we suggest you check this out. Also the Advertising board will be moved from the MAARC forum into the Lounge because we want both works of fiction and AARs to be advertised. Finally in the vain hope that more people will submit their adverts we are moving the News Thread advertisement into the Lounge as well, so more of you will see it! New Competition The biggest thing most of you'll notice is the new competition we are planning on introducing in September. This competition will be called The AAR of the Year (AAROTY) and has evolved from a thread posted by ybbon in the Lounge. It will be based in the MAARC forum (more on that later) and as September draws nearer we'll release more information as we finalize the details. It will be starting on the 1st September, so keep your eyes peeled. Other Stuff Due to us realising that the MAARC medal is used for pretty much all our competitions we've decided to name it more aptly - The Writers' Study Competition Medal. Nothing besides the name will change, but we felt it needed to be done. If you have any more thoughts for a new name please let us know. You have waited, we have waited, and you have waited some more... but finally we are making progress on the planning of the Writers' Study new publication - Writers' Block! This new publication should be popping up around September also. Feel free to speculate, but we ain't saying nothing... yet. It is coming back... with a vengeance! In the not-so-distant future we will be bringing back the Duels and Challenges. An event where the underbelly of the Study will sharpen their quills and poison each other's mind in a battle of acumen, wit, and trash talking. We are finishing up on the details, and a FAQ thread will be posted in the Lounge. Closing Remarks There we go, us at the Study hope you are looking forward to these changes as much as we are, they have been a long time coming and we can't wait to see the final product and share it with you. These changes will be implemented as and when, so keep your eyes open. Of course that's not all, we have heard some mysterious rumours about a new Creative Writing competition about to appear on the horizon. Some are saying it will be one of the greatest TWC competitions ever, others say the greatest - all we know is it is coming, and we all better be ready... - If you have questions or feedback, please use this thread: Writers' Study Chat and Feedback To round us off I want to say something you, the guest who is reading this. If you like what you've seen, and even if you haven't, please, please sign up and say hello, offer your thoughts etc. We are quite a friendly bunch, if you do happen to sign up drop me a Visitor or Private message and I'd be honoured to help you out.

Adverts by our Writers Originally Posted by HeirofAlexander The Tale of Nobutada 2.0 From the Tale of Nobutada rises The Tale of Nobutada 2.0.

Please now refer to them as the Writers' Study Competition Medal, and Writers' Study Competition Medal points (or WSCM points for short), the Narthex has also been merged with the chat thread to have space dedicated to WS chatting. Another thing is that the Tale Project thread has been updated, as a few more collections have popped up, which is great to see. We are in the process of updating the 'Official' sticky threads we have here in the Study, mainly by doing a bit of refurbishment and adding some exciting new graphics. We'd love to have your feedback and suggestions about these, and if you have any questions you'd like to see in the FAQ to help out someone who is new to the Study and what we do - then please post them in the Chat thread. Finally, the MAARC Hall of Fame Index and the Writers' Study Hall of Fame Scoreboard threads have been merged to provide you with all the information you need for past winners, and too see how close you are to that next medal!
