Fund Raiser for Writing Contest Prizes

Fiction Portal Intergalactic Summit

For those who remember, I organize a writing contest every year, the
“New Eden Capsuleer’s Writing Contest.” This year’s contest will be announced in March
with a May Deadline for Submissions.

Historically, we’ve tried to offer generous prizes to encourage capsuleers to share
their creativity and their stories! While I’ve received generous donations from Franco
Phonaga (15 billion isk), ARC (2 billion isk), a former winner of the contest Tanagura Amoii (1 billion isk), and Gosakumori Noh (1 billion isk), Dr. Valerie Valate has also sponsored 1 billion isk for the best article in the academic category featuring archaeology or cheese. However, I am far short of our usual prize pool for various reasons.

So! I am holding a Fundraiser Auction and Dinner at “The Golden Masque”, a neutral venue in the Concord Bureau Station in Yulai.

The concept is certain generous souls have donated vacations, trips, ships and even skins
for bid and people can secretly bid by mail in advance of the auction with live bids the day
of the auction. Winners can then schedule (in the case of an ‘event’) or contract for their prizes
after the close of the Auction with the Donors directly. I am sure most of the Donors would allow a plus one with respect to any ‘events’ but confirm with the Donor.

If people are interested in donating, contact me, and I will add you to the list below.

If people are interested in pre-bidding, please mail me your bid. All items start at 25 million isk.

Where: “The Golden Masque”

Oh how dreadful.

If this year’s thing is going to be the same kind of format as previously, I would be willing to sponsor a prize of up to 1 billion ISK, in the acadenic category, for the best article featuring archaeology or cheese.

Naturally I’d be ineligible to win my own prize, should I enter anything relevant this time around.

Sure. I’ll accept that donation. Thank you.

I mentioned the contest and my donation in the Summit yesterday, and well, I suspect that a couple people might be considering writing something along the lines of the archaeology of cheese in the Gallente Federation.

How did the saying go? “Up with this sort of thing?”

So you did not tell them your prize was for the best article featuring archeology or cheese?

Those who were there may remember that I bid 100 million ISKs on a Kikimora with the stated purpose to reprocess it. I intend to make good on that claim so without further ado, please accept the attached evidence as proof that this was indeed carried out and remember All Kikis must Die.
