Guys,
I don't know about this contest, but I felt that you guys have better
use for it than I do. I don't know if this is real or just a joke.
If this is a joke, I am sorry for taking your time. If it is not a
joke, I wish all participants the best of luck.
See ya'!
Greetings from the Manga & Movie Original Story Competition.
In brief, We are running a contest with over 60,000 US $ in prizes. We are
taking original manga stories - from any genre, publishing them in Japan
and then having Hollywood screenwriters make screenplays out of the
stories. These will then be made into movies in the US. I am sure that some
of you are writers. Don't you think it's time to get your work know in
Japan? The deadline for entries is September. We have an office - more
like a friend's home - in the US where you can your stories. Please check
out our URL http://www2.gol.com/users/murayama/ to learn more about the
MANGA & MOVIE ORIGINAL STORY COMPETITON.
As for etchimono, Toei Video who currently runs a V Cinema series of
excellent SM, Lez, XX Series wants the original manga stories as the
screenplays for it's videos. So what are you waiting for? Let your
hormones and second chakura run wild. Send in your tales.
The following is a previous posting telling more about our contest.
Salutations from your webmonster - that's me - at MMOSC.
The Manga & Movie Story Competition has redone it's website. Please take a
look because old Bill needs the hits. The silent partner site on the web
is always looking to exchange links so let me know if you would like to be
added. We are planning to go online with our comic stories in both
Japanese and English so bookmark us now.
AND now for an update from our sponsor:
