[YC 120 New Eden Capsuleer's Writing Contest] Corvus

My entry for the New Eden Capsuleer’s Writing Contest in the category of poetry. Circling wildly over the ravaged battlefield, Glistening black harbingers of death. Eviscerated corpses, Casualties of a meaningless war. Heaving for breath, Leaning on his sword, He waits. He listens. Collecting the souls of the departed, He watches their flight, Head dipped in reverence, Wondering. A weary ache besets his body, Reminding him of his dislike for conflict. Yet bound by oaths, He fight…

We have had people submit entries on a “review” but no prize basis before.

So, without having yet made up my mind on whether I would post an entry or not, but for the sake of argument lets say I did…and I still wanted to contribute as sponsor still, thus I would waive of any right to any possible reward…what would be the response to that?

If you do end up both sponsoring the contest and submitting an entry, I would like to invite you on a candlelight dinner as a little compensation for both your generosity and your effort.

[Lasairiona_Raske]

Hmmm, I’m enticed to sponsor now

[Mizhir]

You are always welcome to come over for dinner.

[Lasairiona_Raske]

I’ll take you up on that.

[Kalaratiri]

I’m submitting this entry to the prose category.

[Ioannis_Sepphiros]

Well careful, the actual winners might get jealous over devalued prize awards…I hear jealousy is a thing amongst capsuleers if one cared enough

[Mizhir]

I am sure we can find a solution.

Oh, so sorry to bump you, sir/madam. Please, if I may, I’d like to get you another of what you were drinking.

((OOC: thanks you for the contest it was fun writing it))

[YC120 Writing Contest] A study about gravitational waves, effects and applications

Author: Umbre Fallenstars. First publication date: 09/04/120 Note form the Author: This is a summary and lightened version of a thesis I published a few weeks ago. I tried to be as close as possible to the original paper, but without the mathematical formulas to keep things easy to read even without a full scientific background. Sadly I think that most of the content will still need at least basic understanding of gravitation and FTL theories. If you ever want to read the full thesis, you can…

[Lunarisse_Aspenstar]

Two weeks to deadline!

[Lunarisse_Aspenstar]

Just above me is a wire that I am sliding beneath ever so narrowly.

[Lunarisse_Aspenstar]

[Cecilie_Vale]

A belated submission…not mine, but my father’s. I hope that is acceptable.
