    Small Writing Competition



    Welcome everyone to the Small Writing Competition! The gist is simple - write a story based on the prompt, and submit it to the judges before the deadline.



    Rules

    1.) Follow PC's rules and Fanfiction and Writing's rules.

    2.) Stories written for this competition must be completely new. In other words, they must not have been written before. You also are not allowed to post it anywhere else until judging is over. Having someone beta read your entry prior to submission in private is allowed.

    3.) You must PM your entries to all of the judges. (This is so if someone loses their PMs the others still have them and so forth). The judges in question are Bay, bobandbill, CoolKid575 and gimmepie. You also must post in this thread when you send your PMs so we can confirm you did send us an entry.

    4.) One entry per member only, sorry.

    5.) You have until 11:59pm EST, July 24 to get your entry in.

    6.) The story can be based on Pokemon, another fandom, or be original fiction. Note the judges may not all be familiar with any other fandoms.

    7.) The entry can only be a completed one-shot as this is a small writing competition - no chaptered entries, please! There is no word limit.



    Once the scores are posted and the competition is over, you may post your story in Fanfiction and Writing so that others may see it. Make sure to add [SWC] to your title if you do!



    If you have any other questions, ask away!



    Rules and Prompt

    As with previous SWCs, each entry can have a maximum score of 30, with the points broken down into three categories equalling 10 points. The categories are:



    Spelling and Grammar

    Characterization, Plot, and Description

    Relevance to Prompt



    Each participant will receive 10 points when their entry is sent in. Furthermore, the top three places will earn additional points as detailed below.



    Gold: 150pts

    Silver: 100pts

    Bronze: 50pts



    Additionally, we have Achievements available! Firstly, the team with the most submissions at the end will earn a bonus 50 points! On top of that though, the person who uses the longest stream of alliteration in their story will earn an extra 10 points for their team.



    The prompt is competition.

    Anyone feels like SWCing? I feel like SWCing.

    That means I must sleep for the time being to gather energy.
     
    I will also try my hands.


    But how much short are we supposed to write ✍️ ?

    There's no minimum limit, and it can be as long as it needs to be if it isn't chaptered/etc... although note us judges need time to actually read and score everything. :v

    I intention to ask this was to know whether the points are depended upon length of story or not. Because I had never wrote anything long, with exception of 20 marks question in English Exam during 1st year.

    Hence also wanted to know whether there is some minimum word limit or not!

    Nah, the points won't be dependent upon length of story and instead the execution of it related to the prompt!
     
    I haven't written anything in close to 10 years, but what the heck, I'll enter. I will warn you that (a) my skills might still be rusty and (b) my idea for the prompt is a bit unorthodox, lol

    Hi, can I just ask which team you are in for the Get-Together? This is an event for that and from what I can see there is no badge to say which team you are on (which as a result means you shouldn't be able to see this oopsies)

    Supposedly it's Aqua but I literally took the quiz 5 minutes before posting so I'm not sure how long it takes to update (also unsure if my post flair's CSS may be conflicting with it.)
