- Welcome -
Monday Vibes is a writing contest here on the wff! Every Monday, a new prompt will be posted for you to write your own short story on. You'll have until that Sunday to write and submit the story, so I can read and judge them all and give the results on Monday! There will be a rubric and people of all skills are welcomed! There are no real prizes except being on the wall of fame, so use this space to have fun, practice, and be creative. I will give critiques and reviews to anyone who asks for a rubric breakdown~
How to join: 1- Write a story on the theme 2- Post it on your own thread. Make sure to have a good title! 3- Link the thread here as a submission 3.5- If you want critique, state that you want a rubric breakdown in the submission post; otherwise, I will just give the numbers with no reasons. 4- Wait for Monday's results - Rubric -
Title /2 - Does it fit the story? Is it compelling? Unique? Plot and Conflict /5 - The meat of the story. Can I follow the plot points in a logical way? Is it cliche? Does the conflict fit the character's struggle? Characters /5 - Do you have likable characters? Do they have personality? Desires? Weaknesses? Are your supporting cast developed? Style /5 - Did you pick an appropriate tense and tone for your plot? Is your writing compelling and makes me want to read more? Does the style fit with your POV? Grammar /1 - If there are many mistakes in spelling and grammar as to be distracting, you will lose a point; otherwise, a free point. Theme /2 - Did you follow the theme? If yes, free points. If somewhat, half points. TOTAL /20
In the case of a tie, I will ask my trusted board of judges for a volunteer to read the tied shorts and vote on their favorite. This judge cannot have been a participant. - VIBE -
(This week's theme.) DUE: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 11
Walking into a crowd of cheers - Playlist -
Aka the previous themes and their winners. The moments just before the rain - Sep 4, 2022 Winner: Sky Fire -- phantomstar57

I'd love to read more people's works from that era (; Since no one submitted anything for the last prompt, I'll run one more week with the same one~ That way, people that were working on something for last week's and didn't finish in time can still submit!!

Weeks do go by quickly nowadays! I have to schedule time to write or I just won't anymore. Yikes!
There is no word minimum, so please do use it as a place to practice, be creative, and have fun! Try different tenses or something~
I might give a bonus point for an optional challenge once this kicks off. Like +1 if you use the word "yodel" or +2 for writing in second person!

Dang 2nd person pov! Most difficult of the povs to write well for sure. Or present tense? Or future tense? Geez that would be most difficult!

I can't wait to see it! Two more days for all yall that want to be entering!
And idk if yall saw, but I kinda put up a short on the prompt too (; Not like I can judge my own work (though it would get FAR from perfect marks on this rubric haha) so it's not really an entry, but of course I enjoy the vibes that I'm putting up for prompts.
speaking of I should Probably start brainstorming for the next week's already so I won't be scrambling for ideas

wcrpforums.com/thread/89464/love-moments-before-rain << here's my link. I would love it if you could give me the full breakdown on the rubric! (: That was actually refreshing to write<3 I haven't written from the POV of cats in a while, and I also haven't been able to write in a bit, it seems. So this was actually great. Thank you, Brownie, for having this contest. It helped to push me do something that I love and haven't been able to do lately<3 ^^" I'll check out your story!

I totally will! And I'm gonna keep from reading them until the date so yall can make edits and such up until the last minute if you wish~
And totally! Thanks for entering I really appreciate it!!! Hopefully this can continue for a while with activity and not die; the wff has been rather dead for a while now and it would be cool to spark some new life into it. So thank you for taking the time to join in <3
and yea cats are just so much easier to write for some reason? I've been dragging my heels on writing my actual novel but I can sit here and write 3k in silly battle cat plots without even thinking about it

Well, thanks to my respiratory infection returning and thwarting plans of Fair going today, I had a few moments to just fling out a little story, revealing my own emotions when silver white winters melt into spring. . . .

(But I do need to grade stricter in the future (; Gonna have lots of ties if I don't learn!) Well there's already another prompt if you need one!
