it was a dark and stormy night... when someone asked for a writing contest! due date... end of may chapter one: introduction to our contest this is an anything-themed writing contest. you could make a self-roleplay for a roleplay character you have, share with me a short story, or even do some poetry! chapter two: categories of our art i'll be making three categories, short pieces, long pieces, and prompted ones! you can enter for all of them, but there might be some fierce competition out there! - short pieces requirements: have an ending, beginning, and be under 400 words - long pieces requirements: have an ending, beginning, and be over 400 words -prompted requirements: make a story with an ending and beginning that follow one of the given prompts chapter three: prompting the audience - prompt one: start or end your story with the loss of memories - prompt two: somewhere in your story, include the phrase "I never thought this would happen" - prompt three: start or end your story with someone reading from a book chapter four: clearing things up So, this is all pretty confusing, am I right? That's why I'm going to explain some of the things I said (and didn't say!) - does it have to be in prose? nope! it can be in verse, if you want it to - will the categories be judged separately? yes! i want to give more people prizes if I'm being completely honest - is this generations only? nope! but i encourage rpers from there to join :D - i can't count the words :( i can do that for you! just ask me chapter five: let them have prizes -first places from each category will win: a fullbody of a character of their choice from me or a short piece of writing from me about the topic of your choice - second places from each category will win: a headshot of a character of their choice or a short piece of writing (under 700 words) from me about the topic of your choice chapter six: the rules i set hi guys! i trust you're all little angles but rules are mandatory sometimes :( [pov: you said angles instead of angels] -no AI -no bigotry, nor promoting it -include the necessary trigger warnings for your piece -don't copy an existing piece -it must be new. for this. not premade. thanks besties - please please please tell me what category it's in! -have fun! chapter seven: it takes a village looking for something fun to do, but you don't have the time to enter? join me as a judge! there are three judges, me and two other people! judges - (marshy) - (rat and theo) - (elm) if you're interested, just tell me in the comments!
