Calling All Authors III: A Story Contest - Vesuveus - 05-01-2010

Details here

Since there is no "home" for the Matrix community like when DN1 was around, I'm posting the link to my faction forums which will base this contest.

who was the "blind man "? Did you mean the bum that was the last guy in the first movie that turned into Smith ?

Good question. He's a pretty obscure character which is why I threw him in; I want to see if anyone is willing to come up with anything for him. He is not the homeless guy who Smith possessed. In case someone wants to try and figure it out for themselves, I'll hide the text so you have to highlight the spoiler:

I think he was just in the hallway when Morpheus and Neo were in the Oracle's building on the way to her door. He didn't have any lines, at least not in any version of the movie I've ever seen, so I am not really even sure why he is on the cast list. I'd have to check the cast list in the movie credits to see if he is on there or if IMDB just added him.

I have made a slight adjustment to description of the writing contest. Your story submission can be an adventure of point of influence in the past of a character.

I made this change because I don't expect a full backstory of a character in a story I am limiting to 1000 words. I am sure a novel can be written about some of these characters. As long as the story focuses on the character's past from the point of the 1st movie.

I am narrowing down the prizes for this contest. I am thinking action figures, books, memorabilia or pictures/ posters. I don't want to give away too many details, but how does that sound so far?
