And so begins the first stage of the "Mr. HeroesWorld 2008" Contest

What is it?

It's a story told using emoticons.

Participants must come up with a story and tell it using emoticons, while also commenting on them. There is complete freedom of expression here; there is no specific theme, the main thing is that it should be coherent and interesting!

You can send your stories to me by e-mail at Lu41k@yandex.ru

All of them will be posted in a separate thread, without the author's signature, i.e., anonymously! This is done so that forum members can vote for the stories themselves, and not for your nickname! Any disclosure of authorship and discussion of the stories by participants will lead to disqualification from the contest!

You will have approximately a week to prepare! On March 16th, I will post all the stories that I receive by e-mail, so hurry up! Then, an open vote will be held! Remember, dear participants: you cannot vote!

And remember the most important rule: flooding and flaming in the thread are prohibited!

- an archive of emoticons, from which you must choose the ones that will tell your story!

Full catalog of emoticons

I wish you a pleasant time at the contest and success in overcoming the stages :) Prove that you are the one who deserves to become "Mr. HeroesWorld 2008"!And may honor and dignity always be with you!

stories related to Heroes? or any fantasy? or anything at all?
emoticons only from the archive) without the forum...

P.S. it's a pity that stories aren't given out))) on the one hand, it's difficult because you have to choose from your own ideas, and on the other hand, it's freedom... =) although it's right... give each person a fairy tale... there are so many of us)

P.P.S. and should the stories be funny or any kind? =)

P.P.P.S. can questions be asked in this thread?

You can and should ask questions here :) That's what this topic is for :)

Any stories are welcome, but it shouldn't just be a random collection of emoticons, but an interesting story :) Use your imagination :) Giving a specific theme would be too easy... and everyone would have a similar set of emoticons... No way)) Struggle a bit ;)

There is no question more stupid than this: where and how do you create these stories?

So, here's the plan: First, you come up with a story. Then, you open the archive with emoticons in a folder, and open a Word document. You choose the emoticon you need, copy it into Word... and then you know what to do. After that, you send your story to me by email, and I'll post your stories without names.

Luchik, please remove me from the list of participants. I'll give others a chance to win :) and, to be serious, I won't have enough time for the contest. Arandor, number 7 is yours, take it:))

Participants must come up with a story and tell it using emojis.

The stories can be about anything, the main thing is that it shouldn't just be a random collection of emojis, but an interesting story.

I have a question...
Is it allowed to use someone else's story? If not, can I use parts of it? If not, can I use characters from someone else's story?
I'm facing a dilemma: either an interesting story, but not my own (I'm just filling it with emojis), or my own story, but uninteresting and incoherent:D

General ZeT, why are you upsetting me so much :smile05: Oh well... I guess I'll have to remove you from the list.

ewgeniy, hehe, what about copyright law :rolleyes:?

I can't allow you to completely copy someone else's story, but you can use individual moments or characters! Zhenechka, I don't believe you don't have enough imagination to come up with an interesting story ;)

I have a question...
Is it permissible to take someone else's story? If not, is it permissible to use its individual parts? If not, is it permissible to use characters from someone else's story?

Something like this?

Once, in the cold winter season,
I sat behind bars in a damp dungeon.
I watched as, slowly, it rose into the mountains,
A young eagle, raised in captivity.
And, walking with dignity, in calm composure,
My sad companion, flapping its wings,
In large boots, in a sheepskin half-coat,
Pecks at bloody food outside the window.

:D :D

The provided set of emoticons is not enough to convey even half of what I intended:smile39:. I have to refrain from embellishing the story with emoticons and instead adapt it to the available emoticons.
Please expand the set of emoticons!

You have quite a few requests! Okay, I'll find a larger archive. What won't I do for our lovely guys? ;)
Be patient – it will all be ready soon!

Here's a complete catalog of Kolobok emoticons; choose whichever you like.

Dear organizer, why don't you arrange your own photoshoot? Here's an archive of emoticons :)

I'm afraid that what I can offer as a photoshoot might not be interesting to you at all. :)

So, an archive from you would be more than enough.

I'm afraid that what I can offer as a photoshoot won't be interesting to you at all.

You'll get in trouble now, we'll all start asking together :smile41: :D
and with requests... who wants what...

I would like to clarify. How should the sentence be structured in the text? For example: Option 1: We danced :smile23: or Option 2: We :smile23: Or is it not important? Sincerely, Gur.
