Come one come all to the Battlestar Galactica Club. Why? Glad you asked. We are proud to announce a Fan Fiction writing contest.
With the possibility of a new Classic Battlestar Galactica movie coming out, we here at the BSGC, thought it appropriate to let YOU, the Classic BSG fan, write the opening scene for the new movie as you would imagine it. This is to be based on canon TOS BSG, as either a continuation or prequel effort, and is not to be a re-imagining of Saga of a Star World.
Here are the rules:
1. It must be in the Classic (TOS) BSG format. NO TNS (The Ron D. Moore/Sci-Fi Channel series) IS ALLOWED.
2. The submitter must be familiar with the Classic BSG universe (The 1978-79 series)
3. The submission must be 2000ish words.
4. All submissions must be made by board members. This means you need to join the BSGC to enter the contest. No outside submissions will be accepted. To join simply head to bsgc.proboards.com and sign up. Account validation will usually be within 8-24 hours.
5. With the exception of Hawke (who’s putting on the contest), everyone in the BSGC membership (including staff members) is eligible.
6. It must be an UNPUBLISHED work. This means that it cannot exist anywhere else.
7. Submissions must be made in the Contest Fan Fiction Submissions sub-board off of the Fan fiction & crossovers board.
That’s it. We will accept submissions for 2 months, and the entire board membership will vote by a poll on which submission is best. At the end of the 2 months the winner will be announced.
Now, it wouldn’t be much of a contest without prizes, would it? Here they are:
1st Prize: An autographed picture of Richard "Captain Apollo" Hatch. This prize is being provided by Richard himself. Whoever wins this prize will need to provide Hawke with their name,and address, and Hawke will relay it to Richard, so HE can mail it personally.
2nd Prize: A brand new, never been opened ,Classic Battlestar Galactica “The Complete Epic Series” DVD set along with a complete set of David Kiern’s Classic BSG fan edits on burned DVDs. These edits can be watched/previewed in the theater at the BSGC. The edits consist of the Classic BSG episodes Saga Of A Star World, The Tombs Of Kobol (Episode - Lost Planet Of The Gods), Gun On Ice Planet Zero, Living Legend, War Of The Gods, and Judgement Day (Episode – The Return Of Starbuck). This prize is being provided by Hawke.
3rd Prize: A brand new never opened, still in the box 12 inch Gold Cylon Commander figure. This prize is being provided by Hawke.
*DISCLAIMER* Prizes are subject to change/be added to.
Well, that’s it. The deadline for the contest Is Midnight Central Standard time on January 6, 2010
Good luck everybody.
