the Challenge (including new SL's or old retired vets) will win an
IS-SR; IS-BR to the runner-up.
4. Fiction
Comp: It will last all month, until February 28th. To celebrate
the 10th anniversary of the ISD Challenge, a fiction competition.
A topic will be announced by the WC on February 1st; best fiction
will win an IS-SR, and an IS-BR to the runner-up. Will be judged by
Master and myself. The topic is as follows: "This month is AD
Master's fifth anniversary in the TIE Corps. His anniversary falls
on February 14th. Since he is a Challenge boy, and therefore quite
deranged, he is throwing a huge party on the Challenge (cause he certainly
couldn't throw it on the Sovereign. You know how those Sov types get)."
5. Graphics
Comp: It will last all month, until February 28th. To celebrate
the 10th anniversary of the ISD Challenge, a graphics competition.
A topic will be announced by the WC on February 1st; best graphic
will win an IS-SR, and an IS-BR to the runner-up. Will be judged by
me. The topic is as follows: I'm thinking about putting a new banner
up for the Wing X banner. I like the old one, but I'd be interested
to see what else can be put there instead. So make a replacement banner
for me, if I like it more than the old one, it'll go up.
