The Ultimate Zelda Challenge: Celebrating 25 Years of Awesome.
In case you can't tell, I freaking LOVE the Zelda series; I even one day hope to work on the Zelda team if I play my cards right. Now this entire year has been one long celebration of Zelda awesomeness after 25 years of making games of epic proportions. I did my part by making the theme of my Creative Writing Final the series as a whole, gathering enough inspiration to write four poems and a short story based on the series and individual games and to get a well-deserved A on my assignment. But I've decided to go one step further than that: I've decided to write twenty more poems and/or short stories and include them with my original five, thus bringing the count to Twenty-five chapters, plus this one. I've got a few ideas, but certainly not enough for all twenty entries. And that's where you come in.
Anyone reading this is invited to send in an idea for a story or a poem in the reply section. Ideally, these ideas would be single sentinces, describing the following
If it's a poem or a short story.
What type of poem it is/ what perspective the story is told in.
When/where the story or poem is set.
The theme/tone/focus of the story or poem.
Any other details you feel the need to include.
As a principle, these requests will come in fast, so formulate your idea well before sending it in. I will pick requests based on how compelling the idea is, not how early the request is sent. However, I plan on finishing this series before The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is released in the United States; that is, before November 20. So while it is important to bring forth clever ideas, submit them preferably before Halloween Night 2011. I look forward to seeing your submissions, fellow fans.
