- Welcome -
Welcome to Theme It! Another short story writing contest with a twist: each session there's a list of prompts with an overarching theme. Choose one of the categories and write a short incorporating that idea, at the end you'll be both judged on your short and added to a page along with the others to make a great themed anthology of forum writings!Also, to shake things up even more, teamwork is encouraged. Get a partner or two before choosing your category and collab a piece together!
Each contest, I'll be looking for a fellow judge. You would not be rated with the other shorts, however, you would still participate in writing the opening short alongside me for the anthology. This position would rotate between themes. If you're interested in this position for this week's contest be sure to post saying so. Depending on how many applicants we have, a raffle may be used to determine who will be the co-judge this round (may be open to two people depending on how many participants we have). - Rules -
- All finished pieces are to be DM'ed to me before the due date. Do NOT post them on a separate thread, they'll all be organized and posted on one group thread in the appropriate order. - Any additional requirements for the prompt are under the theme. Make sure to follow those requirements or points will be deducted! - Be nice to people. Both your partners and the other participants. Any complaints should be directed at me. - Only one short per category! It's first come first serve, so claim your category as soon as you get your group together. If you want a certain category, ask to join their group (no more than three per). If all are claimed I'll put up more categories to fill. - Again, no more than three people per group. Groups of four must be cleared first and only for small themes. - Word count: under 5000 words is nice for the judges, but there's no hard cap. There's no minimum but make sure to have enough content to fill the prompt. - The Theme -

I donβt mind! Maybe start brainstorming a few ideas, then a third person can jump in if they want? It seems we have plenty of time at the moment.

The only thing I think is that people might burn out at the end of a month? Maybe try two weeks and see how that goes? But a month would also totally work

A month does seem like a long time, but it might be worth it just for this month, since quite a few people are doing Camp NaNo. But yeah. Up to you.

~Sapphire~ haha x3 Friday the 13th is just a superstitious day. I'm not superstitious so it doesn't really matter. People have just adapted that 13 is a "scary" or unlucky number so they think Friday the 13th is creepy. It's nice to scare people, though.
