Friends of the community @theinkwell, thank you for giving us the opportunity to express our opinions about your activities.
I find your challenges quite appealing, both creatively and in terms of the rewards you offer. I have competed more in the poetry contests and have been satisfied with just producing a poem from a word or idea provided by you. As other users have said, I miss this contest too.
I have seen in your community publications of very high quality and that makes you very respected within the platform. I have participated in other contests where the organizers take a long time to give the results, a reason that inhibits me to follow them; you, on the contrary, satisfy our curiosity in the normal lapse of time to give the verdicts.
I suggest that you incorporate into your narrative the following challenge, which I used to do with my university students in Spanish classes: write a short story (the less length of the text, the more attractive the challenge) containing 5 words provided by you. These words should be used with the same lexical form given; for example, if you provide the word "apple", it should be placed as it is, underlined or highlighted, in the text (and the variations "manzanas", "manzano", "manzanitas", "manzanero" should not be accepted as substitutes for the original word).
Again, thank you very much for allowing us to give suggestions.
