Haiku for Incense

Haiku for Incense

Hey there, MegaTeners!

This contest has now ended. We will make another blog post later today, once we’ve redeemed the prizes for the winners of the event. We appreciate your overwhelming interest!

You rocked our baboon butts with the You Tell Us! questionnaire. We got five times as many participants as we expected. This flailing monkey really loves you! We’ll send out the rewards to the winners during today’s maintenance, then wrap everyone’s feedback in pink tissue paper and glittery ribbons for our management team.

Now it’s time to celebrate this overwhelming success with a bigger and better event!

Mega Haiku

We’ve gotten bunches of short story entries from the MegaTen community, despite our lackluster choices for rewards. For those of you who didn’t want to enter because, “Eww, cameo,” here’s another opportunity to bust out your writing skills!

The Rules
Reply to this thread with a haiku that incorporates one or more of the following words:

  • Mega
  • Demon
  • Imagine

Taken from dictionary.com: hai·ku, non, a major form of Japanese verse, written in 17 syllables divided into 3 lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables, and employing highly evocative allusions and comparisons, often on the subject of nature or one of the seasons.

Only one entry per player, please! Make sure to include your e-mail in your comment. Feel free to deviate from themes of nature, even if it’s non-traditional. Contest ends next Demon Diary, 5/30, at 11:00 A.M., PDT.

The Reward
Thanks to all the feedback we received, we’ve rewarding the winners with…

Incense of Mastery!

Prize amounts are determined by how many entries we receive. It’s tiered in two ways:

- 1 prize for every 10 entries (ex., 1-10, 1 prize; 11-20, 2 prizes; etc.), max 15 prizes
- 1 incense for every 30 entries (ex., 1-30, 1 incense per winner; 31-60, 2 incense per winner; etc.), max 5 incense per winner

So the more the community participates, the bigger the reward! Spread the word. We could end up giving away 75 incenses if we get 150 entries! Also, we totally heard your call for Ariadne Thread, but that starred in What’s Your Codename. Alas!

We look forward to your submissions. :D

  • Pandora Saga
  • Shin Megami Tensei Imagine
  • Knights of the Sky
  • BattleSpace

Contest Rules

  • Short stories must be between 500 to 5,000 words in length
  • All entries must be in .doc or .docx format, double-spaced, in a readable font
  • Stories must be based within the game world—no memoirs about playing, please!
  • Entries must be prose (no poetry)
  • Only one entry per player
  • Include your forum username and in-game character name in the document header

Prize

One winner will receive ALL of the following in-game prizes:

This means the winner will get something for every ATLUS ONLINE game! In addition, we will feature the winner (and honorable mentions) on the blog for fans to enjoy.

We will be judging entries based on creativity—grammatical and spelling mistakes are okay! That said, if the judge can’t figure out what the story is about, it will make it harder to win. :) Have a friend proofread your entry before submission!

Please send all entries to customersupport@atlusonline.com with the title SHORT STORY CONTEST. This is part of our first wave of contests for the ATLUS ONLINE blog. We look forward to your submissions!

You tell us! We’d love to hear your thoughts.

  • What other contests would you like to see from ATLUS ONLINE?
  • What other prizes would you like to see?
  • What kind of short story do you think our Game Masters would write?
