I think I got it all right, and I know how important this contest is, so if I did make an error please let me know in a calm polite way and I'll be happy to assist!

 

You forgot to put an extra zero at the end of my score. lol, just joking.

 

OK, are you ready for writing??? I hear some excitement and I hear some moans! But, lets have fun with this! As always keep an eye out for a secret thread provided by an alias of mine!! Bonus points and extra help will be available!!

NO LETTER "I"

OK: Creative Writing! I am reminded of an assignment back in college in Writing 101... hehehe... (insert evil laugh! ) Basically this phase is open to write about anything coin related you want! It can be about your collection, your favorite coin, anything numismatic is fair game! The story must be at least 1000 words long and try to use a spell checker as I may take that into consideration (in other words no miss-spelled words just to avoid the letter "I" or "i" !! Now the catch is, the letter "I" is not allowed to be used!!! You have to figure out a way to make a story, that is comprised of any or all words using any of the other 25 letters of the english language! Story must be written in English!


So this is going to be a challenging task and as such it is going to be highly rewarded!!! I will pick 4 finalist out of the stories posted (based on my favorite story! Sorry, can't be too scientific with it!) and award each of them 10 bonus points. I will then post a poll with those four finalist, and the members at large will choose their favorite story and crown the writing champ, and that champ will be awarded 25 bonus points!!

You have until Sunday at 11:59 PM EASTERN TIME to submit your story. So a little bit of time to think it through for this one!! In the mean time don't be too anxious to post your story, be looking tommarrow for additional alias and help!!

Get your pencil sharpened!!

 

Aye aye aye! I just got out of school and now there's more essays with 1000 words min! But I really don't thinks it is possible to avoid the "I".

Not that any of this will stop me though.

 

How can we write about coins, coin has an "i" in it!!

 

put your thinking cap on .. im not giving hints lol.. i already got 372 words

 

1000 words!? Oh boy.

 

1000 words isn't hard. 1000 words without using the letter "i" is.

 

here goes..

Hi, %$@#%$@...

Tougher than I thought!.Time to start again

 

Uhh, I'm not sure if I'm going to win this one.....lol...We've has testing for the past few weeks...I wrote 3 essays today alone!

 

Whoa, this is going to be tough, but I'll live up to the challenge. I'll need to start worknig, but I might have a chance at this one lol! This will be neat.

 

Thank you for the extra hours Dak. It's hard to think when your brain wants nothing more than to rest on a pillow..lol

 

so far, i have 628 words, and not a single I... so just to get it out of my system...
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiIiIiiiiiiiIIIIiiIIIiiIiIiIiIiIIIIIiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIiiiIIIIiiiiIIIIiIiIiiIiIiIiI ...

whew ... i had all those pent up, and they needed to get out.

 

Ok, I changed my mind... No "E" is allowed!



NO, not really!


Hahaha.. just kidding, sorry this is an evil thing to joke about!
