NOTE: We don't have enough submissions yet for a competition, so if you're still on the fence, please sign up!

Challenge: Spirits of the Empire Fanart and Fanfiction Competition

Draw or write a story set in the Jade Empire relating to the spirits featured in the Empire. Broad interpretations of spirits can include anything from demons to lingering ghosts or even "haunted" memories. Setting *must* be in the Jade Empire and crossovers or alternative universes (unless relating to an alternate ending/universe established within the Jade Empire setting itself) will most likely be ruled out of theme.

For example: an Avatar the Last Airbender/Jade Empire crossover would disqualify you, but choosing to explore the implications of the PC's actions via the PC's ghost in the "neutral" ending of the game (where the PC submits to Sun Li and he becomes ruler of the Jade Empire) is acceptable.

All work must be your own work to qualify. You may only submit 1 piece per category (art or fiction). Collaborations are acceptable provided all collaborators are named, but only 1 reward will be given out. Collages of existing work will not count unless the piece is significantly different. Feel free to e-mail the moderators for a ruling.

Competition duration will run until midnight, October 31st, 2009. This also means that the artwork or fic CANNOT be posted elsewhere before 9/23/09.

Am I Eligible?
