The Invitational is our bi-weekly, super-duper, writing contest. It is where we match quills and draw blood all for the sake of the craft. We all know a 'friendly' competition never hurts anyone, much, especially when it can be used as a platform to improve your writing. ๐
The winners will be announced in two weeks. Winners of what? An astute question. The prizes are as follows:
๐ฅ Gold: 2 HSBI, 300 Ecency points, 50 SCHOLAR, 3 SCRIBE
๐ฅ Silver: 1 HSBI, 200 Ecency points4, 40 SCHOLAR, 2 SCRIBE
๐ฅ Bronze: 100 Ecency points, 30 SCHOLAR, 1 SCRIBE
๐๏ธ Runner(s) Up: Valuable goodies!
IN ADDITION- Each participant will get a modest review of their work from the modding team. With the additional opportunity of getting an in-depth critical review if they so choose. ๐
THE PROMPT IS JUST A GUIDELINE. A DIRECTION. DON'T FEEL INTIMIDATED BY IT! YOU GOT THIS!
๐ฅ Genre: Sci/Fi
๐จ Theme: Winter
โ WHAT THIS PROMPT IS: Robots, cyborgs, Spaceships, Snowmen, and Santa. Not in that order, or at all. Just rambling off winter and sci-fi themes. ๐
โ WHAT THIS PROMPT ISN'T: Swords and sorcery on a hot summer's day.
We are starting this season off with an interesting combo. Unique but vast. There are several directions you can take this prompt. As always, there are no hard rules, make sure you tangentially follow the theme/genre. For instance, a story about dwarves finding a treasure map on the beach would not do. But a time travel story centered around saving Christmas? Well, now you're speaking our language. ๐
May the odds - and your creative energy - be ever in your favor!
We'd like to give out a big shout-out and thank you to Ecency for sponsoring this contest! ๐ค
