Hey all!
Well, I reckon it's time for the "Unofficial Writing Competition - Part 4"!
Okay, I think this time we pump the word limit up a bit, and start giving ourselves some breathing room to develop the story/characters/w.h.y. a little bit more. Or, this could just be me acknowledging that I really have issues sticking to 750 words. Ahem. Anyway, 3 weeks for the deadline, and then we'll maybe try to squeeze in one more before Xmas.
I've just picked up the Reconquest: Phase 2 book and read through some of the fluff, and I'm pretty keen on exploring what has happened in Atlantia. So for the prompt this time, how about we try to add a little to the canon? (For those who don't know, basically Salakahn - Feral Resistance Warlord - was in cahoots with the PHR for a while to fight the UCM in Atlantia. A large UCM force entered the city to fight off the Scourge, and the PHR were keen to recover something (we don't know what) before the city was lost. Salakahn broke his alliance with the PHR, and set off some nukes, slaughtering the UCM, Scourge and PHR in the process - it's not even known whether he escaped himself...)
Prompt: "The Last Days of Atlantia"
Length: 1000 words
Final Submission Date: 21st October WHOOPS! Forgot to change the date, obviously. Sry - let's make that 2nd December. Thanks all!
Have a play with the above events. Obviously four of the factions are represented in there, but there's no reason a Shaltari force couldn't be knocking about the city for some reason (and actually, there may be mention of them being there in the book - I just don't have it with me right now). Also, Karl Foley - of the Allied Resistance - has been hunting Salakahn for a while, so you've even got grounds for using the "good"
Resistance if you wish.
No prize supported expected for this one, so let's just get some words down.
Cheers!
