MAARC LXIX Submission/Nomination Thread

[Alwyn]

This is the submission/nomination thread for MAARC LXIX!
Please read the rules carefully - we changed them for MAARC LXV onwards.

Changes to competition rules

• Previously, 5 entries were needed to run a normal competition. Now, 6 entries are needed. If you see an AAR or story which deserves recognition, please encourage the writer to enter the MAARC (for AARs) or MCWC (for creative writing).
• We have brought the entry requirements of the MCWC in-line with the MAARC, so now to enter the MCWC you need to have two updates within the submission period instead of having two updates as well as a word count requirement.
• Previously, our rules on advertising were a bit complicated and they imposed a blanket penalty of a 3-month disqualification. Now, our rules are simpler and the disqualification is at the discretion of Content Staff, which allows for fairer, more proportionate responses to any breach of the rules.·
• Under the previous rules, stories which were previously published offsite before being posted on TWC were not eligible for our competitions. Now, as long as they meet the eligibility requirements, they can enter.
• If you have any questions or feedback on these new rules please post in the Chat thread and let us know.

Eligibility

• You can only enter work that is posted on TWC.
• The submission must have at least two new updates within the submission period: February 1 onwards
• The first place winner of the previous competition cannot compete in the next one.
• Only one entry per person.
• Once the submission period has ended there will be a one week poll to decide the winners.
• If there are fewer than six entries in the month after the submission period begins, the submission period is extended for one week, followed by a poll with reduced rewards. If there are fewer than three entries the submission period remains open until at least three entries have been submitted.
• Authors can, and are encouraged to, submit their own work. If you would like to nominate someone else's work, please ask for the author's approval first (or encourage the author to nominate it themselves!).
• Writers' Study Staff have discretion to disqualify nominations where it would be unfair to allow them to enter, for example in cases of plagiarism.
• If you have a question or want to check whether an entry is eligible, please send a private message to a member of the Writers' Study Staff.

Advertisement Rules

• Advertising of the competitions is allowed, for example "please vote in the MAARC", however any kind of direct advertising to advocate nominees is prohibited.
  
• Breaking these rules will result in measures being taken at the discretion of the Writers' Study Staff.
  
• The competition manager will take whatever steps necessary to insure the integrity of the competition.
• Asking for votes via any method is not allowed and will result in an immediate disqualification.

Awards

• 4 points for the Winner
• 3 points for Second Place
• 2 points for Third Place

If the competition has less than six entries then first place will receive three points and second place will receive two. Points are recorded in the Hall of Fame. They are accumulated towards the awarding of the Writers' Study Competition Medals.

Historia Quod Britonum
by Rabbit55821
Even with mastery over matter and time, human nature still rules. In order to solve the problems of the future, one must look to the past. Who will reign supreme at the end of the day? And when time itself isn't safe, what dangers will men who ride horses and carry swords face?
