Small Writing Competition

[Venia Silente]

ok i did end up writing it all out properly now it just needs a day or so to incubate before an editing pass ✌️

Already? Wow. I'm still 3500 words till the end beginning lol.

Already? Wow. I'm still 3500 words till the end beginning lol.

i tend to fall in the 1k-3k range with everything i wtite, be it chapters or one-shots. thats what it takes for me to say what i need to say ig! so it doesnt take me long to smack it down and the rest is just refining word choice. i lost my wordiness a long time ago lol

 

[Hyzenthlay]

Sadly I now have too many responsibilities all at once, which is such a shame because I had it planned and was excited to try! But I haven't even written a single word yet (it's all being processed in my head) and I won't manage by the deadline, especially with an important quiz coming up. Still, I wish you guys heaps of fun!! It'll be nice seeing your completed stories! :)

 

[Venia Silente]

It's not looking like I'll be able to get proofreading *and* corrections done by tomorrow, so I'll maybe ask for a extension or die like a writer. On the good side, I have the beginning and the end done! So I only have to mostly write the middle.

You know, that part that actually connects everything...

 

[Aquacorde]

well im done looking at it bc i keep making poor choices so there u go its sent

 

[Venia Silente]

How is everyone doing with their stories anyway?

Just in case, asking about a 24 h extension. Just in case.

 

[Caite-chan]

My issue is starting and I never know how or when to start when it comes to something like this.

 

[Eleanor]

An extension would be nice, ngl. I might be able to send something in but that means writing right away and submitting a first take not like i'll win or anything :3

 

[WizardOfOdd]

Honestly, added time would be nice :)

 

[Chr. Draco]

I had to change between 2 or three stories and for the one I finally decided I don't think i'll make it in time

 

[Aquacorde]

My issue is starting and I never know how or when to start when it comes to something like this.

tbh same for me, for many things, and as hard as it is you just gotta. i usually have a decent-shaped vision before i start and then i just start writing to get it into words and see what comes out!

 

[Venia Silente]

And I thought I was the only one with issues lol...

I have severe issues to write some connecting tissue that is mostly an introspective, and can't really skip it or else the ending doesn't make sense (and "tell don't show" sucks at contests).

Wishing luck for y'all'r submissions.

 

[Tigearthzap]

We have to post the stories here too right?

 

[gimmepie]

We are extending the deadline to Aug 4th 11:59 EDT. Good luck!

 

[gimmepie]

We have to post the stories here too right?

No. Just post here to confirm you messaged it to all judges.

 

[Tigearthzap]

Umm..Ok
I have PMed all the judges

 

[Tigearthzap]

If I knew that the Deadline would be postponed then My story would have been better..still no worries
Either my story is Super cool smelling or it is Super stinky Stinky.
IDK
Up to you guys

 

[Venia Silente]

You can still resend a revised version if you have the time if this is like in previous contests. Wouldn't be fair otherwise. But I'll let the judges do the talking while I do the s u f f e r i n g

 

[gimmepie]

You can send a revised version so long as the deadline hasn't passed yet.

 

[Tigearthzap]

Can I publish this story after the deadline?
and will the revised version be taken too?
cuz the rules said 1st entries only
