Board Thread:Contests and Games/@comment-24335505-20160914022214

Hey guys,

For any of you that ever ventured onto MAA Wiki, you may have heard of the old tournaments of Bluh!. He would have users select characters from across all forms of literature, and write fanfics having them fight, tournament style. For example, if Hank Pym was fighting Metal Ridley for one round of the tournament, both users would write a realistic fanfic based on research showing how their character would triumph. The community would then vote for the winner of the two, and they would move on to the next round. These contests used to be huge on the wiki before the purge of fanfics there.

Using these challenges as inspiration, I have considered establishing a written fanfic tournament. Here at MAAFFU, we can do better than mere literary characters. We can use OCs, past contest entries, anything we want. However, for any such contest to be successful, we need at least 8 users who enjoy WRITTEN fanfics. That means writing a story others can understand (though if you need help because English is not your first language, that is different), and doing research on other's characters.

Who would have any interest in such a tournament?

Would you join a written fanfic tournament? Absolutely! Probably Maybe No Way! Undecided
