I do these pretty often, and I know Mandaar and a few others have participated.
On the "Just for fun" section of the EQLive forums, Zatozia (the Community Relations manager for EQ) will have different themed contests that can win you little toys for in game. Recently she's started handing out free AA points as well for winners, and you can create a new title for your toon.
Here's a link to the Just for Fun section:

The Norrathian Love Story 2009
Challenge: In honor of Valentine's Day next week, write a love story surrounding your EverQuest character or you can write one about a fictitious character. Please consider the following when writing your story:
***Be sure to give your story a Title*** (Why does everyone always forget that?)
You must include at least 1 screenshot image. Multiple screenshots are welcome.
Please do not use special formatting in your story. (Example: No red text, no strange font sizes.)
This story can be serious or comical it's up to you. Just remember to keep the story appropriate for the forums.
The story should not be about historical EQ figures. (However, if you wish to have the story surrounding a character trying to get the attention of a known NPC, that would be fine, just do not include any dialogue or fictional information about the NPC in return. Example: A halfling female who is trying to win the heart of Fippy Darkpaw. Oh no did I just say that was okay?)
Do not used stories submitted for previous contests or challenges.
Submit your story by responding to this thread.
Duration: On Wednesday, February 11, 2009 at 8:00 am Pacific Time (PST is -8 hours GMT: 9:00 am MST, 10:00 am CST, 11:00 am EST, 4:00pm GMT) this challenge will end. The winners will be announced on Thursday, February 13, 2009 and featured on the EQPlayers website.
Reward: Based on the number of submissions received, we will determine winners and put them into placement.
First Place winners will receive an in-game title (last name title), 3 AA points, and a choice between Zatozia's Pail of Chocolate Ice Cream or Zatozia's Pail of Rainbow Sherbet
Second Place winners will receive 2 AA points.
Honorable Mentions may be chosen to receive recognition only.
Feedback: Feel free to offer your feedback on the submissions of others. We enjoy reading the comments on entries for these challenges just as much as the entries! Just remember to be constructive.
