What is the Rhapsodist Writing Contest?
After judging two Artquest challenges, I found myself actively looking to bring a challenge of my own to the Steemit community. During my most recent interview with @kennyskitchen, we were discussing how we both missed the fiction and chapter books which used to be very actively published here on Steemit. Unfortunately, as Steemit grew, long form chapter books generally did not do well.
It led me to look towards developing a writing challenge which would focus on flash fiction instead of long form fiction and non-fiction. But I wanted the emphasis to be on stretching the creativity of the participating authors and challenging them to develop some incredible, unique content which will diversify the content pool on Steemit.
Rhapsodist Writing Challenge #1 – Your Day Narrated by a Psychopath
The initial challenge of the Rhapsodist Writing Contest is to write a piece narrating your day today from the viewpoint of a psychopath. For some inspiration, please check out the clip below from American Psycho.
The contest will run through Sunday, August 20, 2017, with a prize of 10 SBDs up for grabs to the winner. I will be the judging this first contest and the rules of the contest are:
- All entries must be 500 words or less.
- Limit one entry.
- Vote and Resteem this post.
- The contest will end Sunday, August 20, 2017, at 11:59:00 UTC.
Good luck to all the participating authors. I look forward to reading some incredible flash fiction.
