Want to have your own article featured in Pokéjungle Magazine and win a printed copy? Now’s your chance! We’re doing a contest a few months in advance so everyone has the time to write their articles and we have time to rate them all. How does this work? Well…
General Info
The contest consists of two rounds. Everyone can enter in the first round. We’ll then evaluate everyone and will send back mails to those who passed into the second round. After the second round one winner will be chosen and announced in advance of the magazine’s publication. His/her article will remain a ‘secret’ to the rest however. He’ll then have to manually mail (the paper kind) a letter we’ll send him/her granting us permission to publish the article. Stamps will be reimbursed from the ‘PJM Fund’. The winner will receive a printed copy of the magazine mailed to him by normal postage as a compensation!
Requirements
There are no hard requirements except for having a knack at good and creative writing. Your English doesn’t need to be perfect, as we’ll edit out the kinks together if you happen to win. A sense for punctuation and logically sounding sentences are a plus though. There are no age requirements, you can live anywhere you want and you don’t even need to own XY!
Round One
In round one you will have to write a short bio introducing yourself and a not-too-long article (more than five sentences but less than a full page) about anything you want as long as it is Pokémon related. Be sure to provide us with your Disqus name and an email which we can use to get back to you. Your real name and other personal details are not necessary (although keep in mind that when you win we need your home address to send the magazine to).
Round Two
Round Two details will be sent to you once you pass round one, but it’ll mainly consist of writing a two-page article you want to see featured in the magazine. I’ll have more to share once we near December.
I’m in! What do I have to do?
Just email your bio and article to [email protected] with the subject “PJM February 2014 Submission #Nickname”. You have until November 24th to submit articles, which is quite enough time so take your time in writing! Expect a post on the contest the 25th and I’ll regularly remind everyone of the contest in my new posts.
As a bonus, check out the new logo!We also decided to just stick with PJM instead of PJNM, dropping the ‘Network’ from both logo and name. If you’ve got any questions you can always shoot them in the comments or use my new fancy email I put up above! See you 🙂
Let’s do this!! Challenge accepted!
Wait so for round one, we need a bio and a short article? If so, how long should the short article be?
Not putting a real length on it but more than five sentences but less than a full page.
Ok, I just wanted a general idea. Thanks! 🙂
Can there be plagiarism?
Of course not 🙂
Oh, that’s sad.
I’m entering for sure!

Thank you so much sorry for replying late my code is 5386-8409-0466
Alright! This is really cool! I’ll be entering. SO PUMPED!
This me just asking but is there anyone else who is kind enough to add me? My FC is 4725 9328 5479
Ironically, I’m in Creative Writing class but I have no idea what to write ._. I’ll try to come up with something before the deadline.
P.S. Love that Chespin is the mascot!
Going to miss Sewaddle a little bit, but I love the Chespin icon.
I am terrible at writing…. 🙁
Are we sending it through the contact part?
No, my email
I wish i could participate, but i don’t have creativity =(
huh… id love to participate but… I don’t know….
Dang it… I want to enter but I have no idea what to write about… Dae, what kind of article are we talking about here? Scientific, fun, a short story?I know it has to be pokemon related, but in what context?
I could write about joining the Pokejungle community, I would LOVE to write about that. Even though I’ve only been here for only six days, I feel that it would be good for me to write about my experiences. It might get more people to join the site too!
MY IDEA MINE!
A good writer chooses a good topic 🙂
What about my proposed topic?
Just do whatever you want. It isn’t that important seeing as your round two article will be the one published.
You could create a short story then release it out in parts in each issue. If you do that, then you’ll have to leave the story on a cliff hanger
O_O I can’t do fiction… My fiction sucks. I would prefer to do an opinion piece or something like that. Not so much fun, but actually to be read.
OK, here’s the base then. You live in Lumiose City and you’ve just turned 10 and you’re about to go to Professor Sycamore”s.(Let’s just base this in the Kalos region) Before you go catch up with your friends (just pick 2 names) who have already turned 10 but have waited for you so you can all pick your Pokemon at the same time. You and your friends walk up to Professor Sycamore’s Laboratory’s door. You and your friends gather up all their courage. They then ring the doorbell…
I still suck with fiction… Thanks for the start though, someone else can use it if they want. THEY NEED TO HAVE TIERNO BE RELATED TO MIRROR B.
I’m Belmad.
I’m a skin that cyber world has put me on perforce. I’m flesh and bones of a
clockworking machine. I’m the slave of enigma thoughts. I’m a person who is
destined to hide under a cover. I can tell that I’m not what I’m supposed to
be. I’m exactly who I am though, when it comes to restraining. I’m hard as steel
when it comes to crying, I’m broken as strain, when it comes to fighting. I’m
shallow as marsh when it comes to crossing, but deepness buries me when I stop.
Above all, life is easier when I put on my skin. Would it be easier if I can crush
my bones and eat my flesh? The answer remains hidden itself. When it is easy
not to try, you never know what the reality is. What is sad is Belmad has never
learnt to live. It never loved, it didn’t even feel anything. Excitement is
just a state for it, sadness is just a malfunction. Words are combinations and
punctuation is an operator. What am I asking for though? Living this lie is the
best thing that would happen to me. However, when you wait too long under the
rain, you forget that you are getting wet. I’m Belmad and I’ve just convinced
myself again that I’m Belmad. Namaste.
Failed attempt at writing a bio, I will never make it through the first step…Or Belmad is preventing me doing so…
It’s okay. Are the bios supposed to be fictional or about us personally?
>mail it
If you dare 😛
Monologues are not for this community.
I think you mean *Daere
Can I write an article of the best predictions for future pokemon games?
I would like to read that.
People could send in ideas or plots in furture pokemon games they would like to see, and I could judge them and post the best along with an article about it
Nice!
Seriously I really want to do that short little piece on joining Pokejungle… I need opinions though. Would anyone actually read it?
I would!
YAY! I really would like to share my experiences on here and this would be my perfect outlet
I’m always interested in hearing about other people’s opinion because it makes me look at things in a different way
Exactly!
Im writing about the possibility of hoenn remakes!
HURREN CUNFURMED.
But seriously, that would be awesome.
My body is ready!
All aboard the hype train!
Only if you have your eos ticket
(Careful people, there’s a rogue downvoter…)
What is this persons name so I could feed them to Yveltal
I don’t know… Start the hunt.
I got this if he’s a shiny. I’m a shiny hunter.
I just liked all of your comments!
Careful, darkrai is on the lose again.
And I’m a rouge up voter muhahaha!
Yay!
Dae, can there be a place where the losers can put their articles?
I’m gonna wrote about my expierences with shinies and tell about me sa a shiny hunter. I’m also gonna tell about my Xtreme training and strategy making for gen 6 tournaments with my friend. Would that be good to write about?
Sure, I would like to read it. Easily relatable for many people. The extreme training/strategy would be great to read BTW.
I’m still learning myself but one day, my name will be known in every region, including the unreachable ones, like hoenn.
I’m also gonna tell about why I’m where I am in the pokemon world.
Ok.
Alright, then.
I’m going to use here for my sample bio…
Based in reality or not people? (If reality I will mix all my pokemon experience into it.)
God damnit was writing my bio and the Pokemon theme song slipped in.
Well, I know what I will worry about non stop until the 24th. *gulp(in)*
This will be my bio:
better than u
It took me a while to come up with that, is it any good?
Short, sweet, to the point. I LIKE IT!
Do you think people will get the message?
Not sure. (What is it?)
better than u
