Winter is coming (in Australia at least) and things are starting to cool down!

I want you guys to create a cozy story that makes you feel warm in an otherwise cold setting!

Maybe it's a person visiting a cute little cafe for a hot drink and they come across unexpected love or friendship?

Perhaps someone has moved into an old house and gives it life again through warm soul food?

Or, it's a cold, snowy day and a poor animal needs to be nurtured back to health with love and a nice, warm bed.

The subject is up to you, as long as it is a warm setting in cold weather!

.....

RULES!

*Try to keep it mostly pg. I don't care about mild swearing, but I want it to be mostly wholesome. A little bit of blood from cuts and scrapes are fine, but no gore this time.

*Please keep it to a maximum of 1k words!

*Has to be a warm setting on a cold day! Could be snow or just a really bitter winter day, but it must be cold outside ❄️

*Genre is up to you!

*Have fun with it!

Bonus points for a thrilling plotline, cute setting, or unexpected twist! 😁

OK everyone! I am here with another contest!

Because of my poor health, I figured I would like to read what you think would happen next in my Soup story. Since I can't do long lengths of writing for now, reading is the next best thing!

For those who don't know, Soup is about a shifter who has rejected his human side but has fallen for a woman named Missy.

At the end of the story, it is undecided if they should be more than friends when Soup's identity is questioned.

Please read the short story on my profile if you want more context!

***************

Now for the contest details ❤️

Soup will gain a new little friend called Stew in the sequel. She is a little eight year old girl who Soup doesn't see eye-to-eye with at first. Like Soup, she remains in her shifter form identical to his (but way smaller)

I have my version of the story planned, but I want to know what you guys think will happen between Soup, Stew, and Missy before I write it 😁

****************

Now, what I'm looking for in this contest....

Please write me a little story about Soup, Stew, and Missy. Please keep it wholesome (think Ghibli vibes) and short. I don't have as much energy as I used to 😅

Do they have an outting in the fields? Does Missy take them on a fun ride on her scooter? Maybe Stew gets into some mischief? Perhaps Soup brings back a dead animal, like a cat would for it's owner? 😂

It's up to you!

**************

Overview:

*Can be any setting you want as long as it is wholesome. No gore this time! Very minimal blood is allowed (like an accidental injury)

*Stew is a little girl. Strictly nothing sexual is allowed involving her.

*Maximum 1000 words. Have fun with it!

*Bonus points if you name the entry something cute too ☺️

*******

Have fun and I can't wait to see what you come up with!

I'm in the mood for Halloween and want you to keep those spooky juices flowing!

I'm giving you a week to complete a story using the prompt below. It's as close as I could make it around Halloween 😅

THE PROMPT

You found a baby in your pumpkin patch that has a pumpkin for a head. No matter how much time goes by, the pumpkin doesn't rot.

It is now a child, but you realise that kids have been going missing and turning up dead with pumpkins on thier own heads. Halloween is approaching; the time of year the kids are murdered.

Your pumpkin-headed child has been changing with every Halloween. It's now got glowing eyes and steam coming out of its mouth. It looks frightening, and you begin to wonder if it's been killing the kids.

-------------------------------

Wow me with a story about your pumpkin-headed children!

Let's make it interesting and keep it at a max of 1000 words.

I don't mind swearing or gore. Go wild; it's for Halloween after all.

BONUS POINTS

* If your pumpkin head has a cute name

*There is a great plot twist

*Something creatively gorey happens to your pumpkin kid

-------------------------------

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Hey there!

This contest is my first and is all about ORIGINAL monsters.

Nothing that already exists. I don't want to see werewolves, vampires, dragons, or anything already created in games or movies (looking at you Witcher!)

You can use the features of pre-existing animals (like cats whiskers,  bird wings, frogs pouches ect.) but it can't be the main feature.

A cat that glows or a dog that can fly isn't allowed. Get creative!

You could make a four legged and one-eyed sunflower beast, a snake with eyes down its body that has scales made of moss, a beast with as many legs as a centipede but is as fluffy as a cat.

The imagination is yours!

RULES:

* Create your own original monster and put it into a captivating story.

*Must be original. No already existing monsters allowed.

*I don't mind gore, violence, or swearing. Make it as interesting as you want!

*Put a rating beside your entry name so I know what to expect. This doesn't affect chances. Blood, gore and tonnes of swearing? Rate it R. Happy fields of adventure? Rate it G or PG.

*No 'monster love' of the sexual kind.  That'll be for another comp😉

*Word count max 2000 words.

BONUS POINTS (only if you want to!)

*If the story is told from the monsters point of view.

*There is blood and gore.

*A significant other or young family it must protect.

*The monster has a unique name

WILL HAVE PRIZES

This is for the writer with immense imagination. This time, the contest will have prompts as guides for the writers for their stories.

Requirements to be eligible for the contest:

An interesting Fantasy Story with a minimum of  1,000 (1k) and no maximum limit.

Works entered must be WRITTEN BY YOU, and not in any way, plagiarised. Works must be new (written within the contest duration)

The main character can be any gender, sexuality, or race.

Also, note that good grammar will have high points. Even if the story fitted the requirements, there would only be a low chance of winning for the story if it has wrong punctuation, improper use of words, and most importantly, the separation of paragraphs. One paragraph must have a different subject that focuses on the other. It doesn't matter if the other one is shorter, and the other one is longer.

The contest will end after three weeks. After the contest duration, Anne with the particular judge will read the stories one by one and the winner will be announced a week after. The best book wins and will be given a chance to be continued for a whole novel, it will be given a well-deserved book cover and banner to use. Anne will also serve as an editor for this winner. The Placers for this contest will also be free to place their work on other platforms and will be guided there by Anne.

What I want from you is a writing contest idea, whether you make or just pitch the idea, but what this platform needs is more inspiration!I dont have anything to give as a bounty (because there are hardly any contests to even try to get coins), but i will create a contest with the winners idea.

BYE BYE :))))))) <3

Hey guys!

Just thought up an interesting contest idea!

We are all familiar with the common tropes as in Rivals to Lovers, Forbidden Love, Chosen One, One bed trope, etc (you get the point.)

I thought it would be fun to see stories with those tropes reversed!

If youre still confused, worry not. Heres a list of tropes you can choose from if you wish.

(You can choose a different trope but kindly mention it in your story!)

Rules:

1. Only storiesare accepted, no poetry. (Sorry ;-;)

2. Word limit: 3k(ik its alot, but i dont want to limit yall ;-;)

3. Mention the trope you have chosen in the title of the story.

4. Have fun :> (thats cheesy as hell, please ignore ;-;)

Kay, thats about it! Hope yall enjoy <3

-that1lazywriter

"Apocalypse: Total destruction and end of the world."

Anything regarding the genre. Go all out with the violence, thriller, and action scenes if you wish, as long as it's good.

Rules:

-3k word limit

-No poetry

-1 entry / person

If you're stuck, here's a few prompts you can get inspired by. Though I'd rather you come up with something on your own:

1) The protagonist and their family are always constantly fighting, but after the beginning of the apocalypse, they are forced to live in a bunker together. What challenges arise?

2) A scientist creates a virus that increases intelligence but is also extremely lethal, which starts killing off half the population.

Hiya! This is my first contest, so sorry if the description is a little weird. Regardless, though, I hope you have fun if you decide to enter!

Write me a story about someone blending in, but being found out by one of their peers! An example could be a werewolf trying to pass as human in high school, but one of their classmates walks in on them fighting a transformation. Another example could be someone of the LGBTQ+ community in the closet when a friend confronts them, a serious conversation about their identity following. This prompt is very vague on purpose, so there's lots of room for creativity and fun stuff. If you do have any questions about something, like, say you have an idea but you're not sure it fits the prompt, do shoot me a comment somewhere and we can talk about it.

Since I'll be the one judging these rather than letting the most likes decide the winner, here's some extra ideas if you want to really move me:

- Creativity! Do something unexpected with the prompt, or include a backstory with some original characters you've been drafting a backstory for!

- Emotion! I'm a sucker for works with lots of raw feeling, especially if there are dark themes.

- Big pictures! This one isn't as important as the others, but it's essentially commentating on problems in our society or some sort of generational trauma, something along those lines

- Effort! If I can see that you put lots of time and detail in your work, or you really put some thought into the prompt, I'll instantly fall in love with it...

Additionally, I'll be commenting on everyone's entries, so don't worry about me ignoring your writing. If you're hoping to receive criticism in your comment, be sure to add that in your entry, otherwise I'll assume you don't want any.

That's all for this contest, thank you for reading and have a lovely day!

So, I was bored and I have some time these days, so I thought, we not have a contest?

So basically, just write a story prompt, and I will choose the one I like and write a book on it!
