I think I'm going to start doing these. I will show a picture that I have and the task is to write a story around it. I saw this on the side of a trail in the city while riding my bike.

​​​​​​​

The genre can be whatever you want. Mystery, thriller, horror, fantasy, supernatural, etc. based on the image. Give it back story, perhaps. Be creative and have fun!

There is no required length. Just write your story with however many words you feel comfortable.

Question: What is love to you?

In celebration of Valentine's Day, answer the question "What is Love to you" with the following criteria:

Intriguing and Interesting: 30%~Your work (poetry or prose) must be interesting to read and not boring

Content and Relevance: 30%~Your work must answer the question~Your work must have at least 200 words

Creativity and Originality: 20%~Your work must be creative and original~Your work must have a certain tone, mood, and atmosphere to it~Complex designing of the plot

Total: 100%

At the end of the contest, I will announce your scores.100% is the highest possible score (perfect)50% is the lowest possible score (hmmm...)0% is just a plain boring answer

HaVe FuN!

The goal is to write five hundred words or more about a humanoid creature you have created. They must be new and they must not be a part of another story.

The character may have any name you choose, and it may help you win if the name of the character has meaning; I will be searching up the names. You must also explain the features they have and why they have them, or what they use them for. The author must also make it clear if their character is male or female, and adding clothes helps me, the manager, get a better picture of your character's personality.

It may be in story form or informative form, depending on your preference.

The character that wins will be the main focus of the second story I write, though of course it will be a while. During the time while writing my first contest-winner's book, I will be creating the second group of books.

Good luck and may the best contestant win.

Wynter-Rose.

Edit: The characters you enter are able to walk on two legs, though they must have more than four animal characteristics, whether they are visible or not.

Each contestant is permitted to enter up to three entries and no more.

This is a simple contest. Just tell us the reason(s) you write!

No word limit:)
