If your in the Artwork and Fanfiction side of the forums your most likely here to write, the occasional art here and there besides. Recently the forums have been rather slow and though that is just the natural cycle of things, I want to try and speed it up. Which is why Undead and I present this topic to you writers.
While this idea may not be original, the fact remains that a healthy competition is good for moral and can be quite fun, and encourage people to write more.
How It Works:
At the beginning of each month a theme will be given, the writer is expected to write a short piece of prose that fits said theme. All stories will be submitted on the thread and may be commented or critiqued by other writers. But Undead and I are currently the only judges as of now and we remain the ultimate factor on who wins the contest.
What do you get for winning? The chance to show off your awesomeness and gives your bragging rights. You could display it colorful in your sig. The winner also chooses next month theme.
Rules:
-It must be prose (poetry is more abstract, and thus harder to judge)
-Though there are no length requirements, remember that a short, short story may not get everything that needs to be said, said, while a long story may say too much.
-It must incorporate the theme.
-Must meet the end of the month deadline (October 31st 11:59:59 PST).
Anyone can submit an entry and you may submit as many as you like, or revise an old one as many times as you like up until the deadline.
This Month's Theme:
Life After Loss
Good luck fellow writers
