Good evening everybody! This is Aifos coming to you alive from my recording studio, with an announcement!
That’s right, I’m thinking of holding a writing contest!
But, er, there is an issue with this idea. I can’t really think of any rewards I could give to the winner. I can’t draw, so I can’t just copy Lee’s reward, and any sort of money reward is out of the question for obvious reasons. If, like, you can think of something then feel free to share, but otherwise, there probably wouldn’t be a reward!
But that’s okay—because writing contests are fun on their own! And, you’ll get some critique from yours truly! I’ve been told I’m pretty good at that!
But with that out of the way, let me go over how this would work!
I would give you a writing prompt, something like “Sally stepped outside and saw a dragon!”, and then you, lovely contest participants, would go from there! Is it an evil dragon that burns down her home? A benevolent creature who shares some grave wisdom? A kid in a costume she gets mad at for scaring her? Etc.
(it should go without saying, but the actual prompts would be more in depth than that)
Then, you would post your story here on the forum under a tag, and in a week or so’s time, I’d give them all a read, give you a short critique, and then choose a winner!
As I said before, if that winner has a reward in mind that I can provide, I can do that, but otherwise, no rewards, just for fun!
[b][u]Tl;dr? Here’s my point![/u][/b]
I’m thinking of holding a writing contest here in Offtopic! See above for details!
How many of y’all would be willing to participate? Since I still have work, I’d have to wait until next weekend to start it.
But that’s all for now, folks! Jambuhbye!

Let me put it like this: I enjoy writing. I like to think myself good at writing. Competition is scary as -blam!- and I cave under pressure until I probably end up abandoning the story as a whole.
