I just started writing my story. It will probably be done by tommorow evening
Better keep on writing, because tomorrow evening is to far away.  Well that implies your opinion of evening...
The contest ends in the afternoon in my opinion.

And my essay wasn't long enough. DX

I've always had trouble sticking to an outline and therefore making my stories way too long.  I knew where I was beginning, and I knew where I wanted it to end.  It was the middle that was fuzzy until I got something on paper that I could look at and be surprised at how good the ramblings in my head sounded.

I know how you feel.  I knew where I was beginning, and end.  Middle could have been better though.  But I liked how it led up nonetheless. 

How'd you feel about the deck itself?

Birdbrain

I personaly think my story could have been better. Though I wanted to see if restrictions (in this case time) realy did breed creativity

Ok guys, the writing part of the contest is over. I will ask some of the mods if they could help me with the voting part. I received 3 stories in total that met requirements of the contest. I got few more that did not and in few cases it was really pity because the stories itself were interesting. 

Thanks to all of you who participated.

The deck built itself for me.  The creatures just ended up being my troops minus of course Myc, who doesn't have a card, and the Elves of Deep Shadow who aren't standard legal.  The lands I picked out before writing; so I just threaded them in there.  For the spells, I had a list of all standard legal cards in my colors, and I used the ones that fit the story.

I'm curious about the stories that didn't meet requirement - what was missing that disqualified them, if I may ask?

I look forward to reading what everyone came up with, good luck to you who entered! I wish I'd had the time lately to have written one myself. Been reading too much Game of Thrones lately :P

@Gorzo there were two more stories one did not meet length ( it was only about 300 words ) and second did not contain card names at all... Even though it was quite nice story I could not accept it... I can post that one after the contest is over...;)

Honestly I hoped for more stories...:( Obviously there are not enough creative people with enough of free time or the prizes are not that atractive...:)

Birdbrain

You can post it after the contest is over. Id like you to

I started a story, but I only got about a paragraph into it before I stopped, and went camping with the fam, now I've forgotten all about it. sorry 😓

Agarrita80

I'll do a story the next time you have a contest... Time willing.

whitedrake

If there will be more people interested in then I will throw more contests of similiar kind... I have few more nice alter cards...:)

@Birdbrain I will...;)
