Hello guys,

I think that the what if... challenge number 6 offers a nice mixture of entertainment and a real value. Another great update is that suddenly a large group of sponsors has supported the challenge. More info about that in the Sponsors section.

Let's take a closer look on what's happening since last night:

New participants

We are only 3 tasks away from the end of the whole challenge and we still see new people coming to congratulate us and to submit their own entries.

Huge applause for our latest participant @mitchelljaworsk and for his first entry Believe

New sponsors

Since last night the prize pool has increased more than twice. I was staring at the display at my phone and enjoying the notifications for new transfers of SBD to sponsor the Creative Writing Challenge. Now we have more SBD to spread between the ones who has submitted entries for the entire contest.

Dear Mitchel, just remember that as per the rules of the contest, only the participants who submit posts for every task from the very beginning are eligible to share the accumulated SBD prize pool. Apart from the money award the two primary benefits of taking part in the challenge are improving your creative writing skill and acquiring healthy writing routines.

As a reminder, you have to write a 'What if...' story that escalates gradually. You still have about 24 hours to finish your story and submit it on time. The deadline is Wednesday, by Midnight.
