Welcome!

 Salaam Aleikum! This is the community for writers who write stories based on Sir Ridley Scott's epic, Kingdom of Heaven. It's for readers as well. I hope you enjoy your sojourns here, and hopefully, the stories/story links will start coming in!

Okay, I'm now suggesting award categories. Right now, I have:

Best canon character portrayal.

Best

Will be good to see some more KOH stories Telcontar. I look forward to reading.

Looks great in here. Am looking forward to reading more KOH based work.

how do you plan to do this Telcontar? Do you want people to just post stories or links to them, or are you planning on setting up categories?

[telcontar_rulz]

Hi, nuit.

I was thinking of asking people to post links and the category which they think their nomination belongs to.

[nuit2005]

Hi there- ok, well will do that then. Do you just want links to LJ ?

[telcontar_rulz]

Any link to any site is good :) Thanks for the support.

[nuit2005]

Just a suggestion but what about a Best Short Story?

[telcontar_rulz]

I was thinking of having the short stories compete with the longer ones. What do you think?

[nuit2005]

Well, is of course up to you, I think that there are different styles and techniques and qualities needed for them. The reader is looking for different things perhaps. The skill in a short story being to say a huge amount in a small amount of words, to have an immediate impact.
The alternative might be to perhaps say that people can nominate their stories for more than one category? Some of those large stories might kind of overwhelm a short drabble, but if it was also perhaps up for another category it would work out? Not that the point is really to 'win' but to have more fic out there. but was just a thought...
just suggestions X

[telcontar_rulz]

Yes, stories can definitely be nominated for more than one category. A good story is made out of many aspects after all.
