New Contest: Doctor Frank

We're pleased to announce the launch of the first in the Doctor Frank Rootclip.com contest series. The new storyline revolves around an experiment and an awe-inspiring switch (or not). We think this story has the most creativity potential so far, and are super stoked to see what all you creative Rootclip submitters can come up with to finish the story.

A new story, and new prizes too:

Grand Prize is a $2,000.00 VISA Gift Card and a Porta-Brace SS-2 Side Sling Pack, Retail Value $199.

Chapter winners 2-5 will recieve a $250 VISA Gift Card, a RichardSolo.com Backup Battery for iPhone / iPod, Retail Value $49.95, Boston Bill Sunglasses, Retail Value $30, and The DV Rebel's Guide: An All-Digital Approach to Making Killer Action Movies on the Cheap by Stu Maschwitz, Retail Value of $44.99. (ARV: $374.94).

To help with story flow this round, we sugest breaking up the chapters with this general outline:
Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 2: Conflict
Chapters 3 & 4: Rising Tension
Chapter 5: Climax
Chapter 6: Resolution

Also people, take it in any direction you want, but try not to mortally wound the good Doctor Frank if possible. We're thinking about having his experiments become a more regular feature on the site.

Many thanks to Les Lanphere, better known as killerrobotninja, and his team for putting this together for us. We hope you like it as much as we do!

Good luck everybody, and we can't wait to see all the crazy directions that you can take this story!

Dangit - we had an electrocution already planned out.

@joshutk - I said not to "MORTALLY" wound him. You can electrocute him all day long! :-)
