Once again, I am amazed at all the surprising twists and turns that people came up with. I'm beginning to really like reading the entries, there's so much diversity, a multitude of ideas, which is a wonderful thing to behold.
Now, I enjoyed reading all the entries, and I wish I had enough to give everyone something, but I do hope that you had fun writing these stories (which is, after all, the main idea) and that you will consider entering again. @iamthegray
You are all very talented writers, with completely unique ideas, and I congratulate you for that. And thank you so much for sharing your stories with me. I'm grateful.
So, it was a hard choice, one that took quite a long time to make. I kept going back and forth between the entries, as I liked them all so much. But a choice had to be made.
The SBD payout for the contest was 0.741 SBD, according to SteemNow, which I have decided to round up to 1 SBD.
Congratulations, and thanks again to everyone for writing! I hope to see you on my next contest!
RANDOM FICTION CONTEST #3
So, in case you don't know how this works, I have an app, called Improv Toolbox, on my phone that just gives random suggestions of words, names, occupations etc.
Each week, I shall select two suggestions (completely random) for you to use as prompts for a story.
First, let's choose our categories for the week.
Hmm, Oddball and Genre...this should be interesting. Okay, so let's see what we're dealing with.
Our oddball of the week is...
Nicolas Cage delivering a baby
Okay, I did not expect that. I really did not expect it. And our genre?
Seinfeld
Yeaah, I have a feeling this will be the weirdest random contest yet.
RANDOM THEMES: Nicolas Cage delivering a baby & Seinfeld
The RULES:
Write a story. Just let your mind roam free, don't think too much about it. Just keep the random prompts in mind and GO!
Second rule is I want to see FICTION. I'm not looking for facts or real life stories, you can draw on them, but I want you to use your imagination for this one, alright?
Word limit: max. 1000 words (I can make exceptions for up to 100 words, so if you're a bit over, don't worry, it's ok)
PRIZE:
-There will only be ONE WINNER, who will get all the liquid SBD this post raises. I wish I could offer more, but I'm not a whale, so sadly I cannot.
DEADLINE:
I want to keep a fixed date, as I plan on running this contest on a weekly basis. So, Fridays shall now be the day the contests begin and end. Therefore, deadline will be next FRIDAY, 18th MAY, about midnight.
HOW TO ENTER
Step one: write that story! :D
Step two: LINK this post in your submission!
Step three: Upvote and RESTEEM this post – the more people see and vote this, the greater the prize!
Step four: Leave a link to your story in the comments!
Good luck to you all!
