Write Like a Ninja Contest: How to enter your story
Go to the ”Write Like a Ninja Contest” forum on the LEGO message boards:
https://community.lego.com/t5/WRITE-LIKE-A-NINJA-CONTEST/bd-p/Write_Like_A_Ninja_Contest
We have one extra tip for
you:
• When you copy and paste
from a document (because
that is where you prepared
for the contest for
example), the message
boards will add additional
characters for the copy
and paste command.
• It is therefore best to
type your story directly
into the BODY field
(1)and not use copy and
paste to add text.
