Contest Finished
The Rapture Character Cameo Contest
This is the first contest we'll be holding here, mainly because it is the most basic concept and we've had a great deal of submissions like it in the past.
Prompt
Write an Audio Diary from the perspective of a cameo character in Rapture, be it from another work of fiction or from nonfiction.
Guidelines
1. Character may not have been featured in the BioShock canon in any way.
2. While we've all been subject to the profane and obscene, let's know ours and others' limits. Please.
3. Your submission must abide by all forum rules.
4. Try to be relevant. We might not all know the character from that one book that you read in Fourth grade.
5. I hold the overruling ability to not accept a submission I feel is destructive or critical to others, myself, and the 2K community in general. I don't need to give a reason. I'm a fair guy, so this will be a fair contest.
Judges
1. Beaten with a Rock

Existing submissions can be used, of course.
EDIT: Apologies to those of you who wanted a contest where you could use your own characters. One will be coming up soon, I promise, after this one has run it's course. I chose this one first because it was very general, and even people who'd never been on the thread before could easily conjure a submission.

Bump! Make sure to read about our new contest!
how many am i allowed to submit for the contest?
contest The Rapture Character Cameo Contest
character Anna Culpeper
title "Ryan's Songbird
*click* This is absolutely ridiculas. Apparentely that basta*d Cohen went crying to Ryan, telling him i'm "Insulting his artistic talents". All because of my "Ryan's Songbird" play. The worst part is Ryan believes him. Well excuse me if i thought that in Rapture the artist wouldn't be censored. *click*
you did say i could use old ones right
Now the question is which Audio Diary I should use; I got good reception on all of 'em
Contest: The Rapure Cameo Contest
Speaker: J.S Steinman
Title: Unstoppable Forces
"I know what I can and cannot do; they are inverse to one another. So much so that my tolerance and ability for error is practically nil. Yet, I am human, I am flawed. ADAM has yet to completly perfect me yet. So, yes, despite me doing plastic surgery and not saving lives, I sometimes have the potential for...taken them, albeit accidental. However, not anymore. Sinclair of Sinclair Solutions has a product in the works that means my error can be corrected again and again! Soon I will be unstoppable! Thank you Mr. Sinclair"

These are examples of what would be valid submissions. The point of this contest is to introduce a character from another work of fiction, or a real-life character (nonfiction) into Rapture. That is the focus of this contest.

Contest: Best Rapture Cameo
Character: Master Chief
Title: Finish the fight
Diary:
"Here I am... I've finally reached the bathysphere and now I can get the hell out of here... What was that sound? *2 Big Sisters screeching in the background* I wasted all my ammo on those last few Big Daddies. Damn... I need a weapon. I guess this pistol here will have to do.
*Screeching gets louder, then battle sounds*
Loudspeaker : Double Kill!"
I remember you saying you didn't like the Halo series, Beaten with a Rock, but I couldn't resist.![]()

contest Rapture Camoe Contest
character May Abbate
title Helloooo
*click* Huh. Mr Bubbles, whats this?*big daddy moan* No its not. Its a dairy Mr. Bubbles. Hello, helloooooo. There's no one in it Mr. B. *big daddy moan* I wonder if little diary wants to go see an angle. Lets show him one.*click*
I'm sorry if I didn't make the prompt clear enough Grievous. The goal of the Cameo Character Contest is to take an existing character from another work of fiction, or a person from the real world, and write a diary with them in Rapture. That means characters from BioShock or characters inspired by BioShock don't apply to this contest.
contest Rapture Cameo Contest
character General Grievous
title Pitiful Place
*click* ahhghhh!! To escape the damn Repbulic we made a blind jump and look where we are! *caugh caugh* Crash landed on this pitiful blue planet in an unknown system. Our ship crashed in the ocean and hit this city. These humans have strange powers that rivel that of the acursed Jedi.*cugh caugh weeze* I have to find a way out of this disgusting hole.*click*
Contest: Rapture Cameo Contest (No longer An Entry Due to being a Judge)
Character: Daemin Miller
Title: A New View
*Click* Been playing Jazz musician most of my life and now that Rapture is in ruins...there's no need for musicians like me in Rapture's Civil War. So I quit. I don't regret quiting. I quit so i can spend my days looking into the vast ocean that hides Rapture. Looking back at it all it was smart in quitting. I know on the surface many wonder if im MIA or KIA. It doesn't matter. If im right it's now 1955 and most of Rapture is destroyed but... even so, in my eyes Rapture is the same as the day i vanished from the world. Ha. I guess what keeps me alive is how beautiful the view is through the window....Maybe because it gives one a chance to view world differently from the other side. *click
Daemin Miller is based off a real life person by the name of Glenn Miller who's plane dissappeared near the England Channel. His personnality really fits the character i made for him.

Yes I did![]()
Really powerful diary AK. I feel like that diary click should have ended with the camera zooming out from looking at Damien from the outside of the window. Zooming out to show the rest of the city in destructive ruin, with his small area being the only pristine corner of the whole place. Really nice![]()
Another fictional Grace Holloway audio dairy,
title:What makes me happy
What makes me Happy?With baby Eleanor gone,Sophia and her Rapture Family still like me.It wasn't my fault,turned my head and she was gone!Well singing Rise Rapture Rise in the Limbo Lounge,well with the Limbo Lounge shut down and my husband gone.Im all alone in this dump on the wrong side of the tracks known as Paupers Drop.Suppose I could go out to the diner for awhile...
Another nice contribution ^_^ Grace, you should definitely consider writing a submission for the current "Cameo" contest. The info's just a few pages back.
EDIT: It's entirely off-topic, but I'm really happy. I was given a Frank Sinatra record today, but when I pulled it out of the sleeve, I found that there was also a Columbia vinyl inside. A twofer!
Consequently, the Columbia vinyl (one with a couple of Foxtrots on it) was a 78 rpm size, which my record player doesn't run atIt struck me as very weird, so I've got to ask- is this a much older size? Doesn't anyone know if that's even still produced???

Rapture Cameo Contest
Character The Joker
Title Screw Gotham
*click* "What's This?...HAHAHAHA...A Tape Recorder...Wait What the Hell is This? No Gotham, No Batman, No Female Sidekick No Wait Look Who i Found..."
Ls: "No No, Mr. Bubbles!!!!"
"Mr Bubbles!!! Ha I See No Bubbles HAHAHAHAHA" (Sounds of a Drill Revving) "NO WAIT, OH GAWD!!!!" ....
(Does This Work?)
Thought I'd give you all a heads up ahead of time, the next two contests are going to be Character Revival Diaries and Andrew Ryan Diaries.
Name: Vincent Truman
Diary: Empty Practise
I wasn't invited to Rapture per say, I was brought down by someone who was. "Oh, what difference will one person make?" he said. I worked in the Medical Pavilion; my trade as a dentist. I worked and I was happy. Then ADAM came along and ruined everything, no need for my line of work now; your teeth fall out? They will come back the next day! No need to brush! Now, my niche is empty...Can one person make a difference? Only one way to find out.
Found on a corpse on Ryan's trophy wall
