So, you submit your story and somehow it makes it onto the site. You might wonder how this magical thing happens, and in the back of your mind you know it is someone called a moderator who is making all this magic happen. Sometimes, you wonder who they are. Well, now you can find out on our Staff Page.
The link can also be found under the help section of the forum.
The sounds of drums begin to beat from afar. As they draw closer, so too does the rhythmic reverberation. Louder and louder the drums become until you suddenly realise: it is not the sound of drums you can hear, but rather, the monotone chant of a thousand voices.

Brisingr… Brisingr… BRISINGR!
It is time to celebrate the upcoming release of the third inheritance title, Brisingr. This contest will test you in your creative and logical skills as well as push your prediction boundaries.
Christopher Paolini stated that a new villain would appear in book three – one that loves to laugh, but not in a good way! It is your job to create this villain in an opening chapter to Brisingr. It can be either the prologue (think of the Shade in Eragon) or the first chapter to Brisingr.
Be original. Take yourself away from your comfort zone that is the typical Eragon fan fiction. Here is a chance for you to spread your creative wings and prove yourself as an adaptive author.
This contest will run until August 31st EDT (USA) (three weeks away).
Rules:
Prologue/Chapter should be no shorter than 600 words and should not exceed 3000 words.
Keep it clean. Sexual content, excessive violence and/or language are strictly prohibited and may result in immediate disqualification.
Only two entries per user, please. And it will be the first two entries only! So choose carefully when you submit your story.
Stories should not be submitted any later than August 29th. If this is unavoidable, please contact a moderator to discuss late entries.
Good luck and have fun!
NOTE:
Please submit under the 'Laughing Villain Challenge', in 'challenges'.

Well done to everyone who participated! Again, I apologise for the time-zone mix-up. However, it is your responsibility to have your story completed prior to the closing date. This does not mean submitting hours before the contest ends.
Good luck to everyone with future contests! Keep an eye out for the next challenge.
