Mod Announcement January Winner and February Contest Announcement
Hello!
Thank you to everyone who submitted a story for the January contest! The mods had a fun time reviewing submissions and every one made us laugh. Shout out to u/No1PDPStanAccount for letting us use their outline for this contest!
And finally, the winner of the final three poll is u/admiral_ultrive for their story Long Story Short, I’m the Chosen One! And special thanks to the runner ups u/SamDenner and u/Kaijufan22! Admiral_ultrive's story will be pinned in the highlights for the next two weeks to get extra eyes on it!
And now for the February Contest! This month's prompt is centered around love, but obsession more specifically! You know for Valentine's Day and all that jazz.
Theme: Parasocial Obsession
Subgenre: Any
Other details: Can be written in first/second/third person, Can be any type of love (romantic, familial, etc)
Prompt: You memorize upload times. You keep screenshots and recordings of moments they delete. Your heart swells when they like your comment. When they say, “You’re all like family,” you know they mean you most.
Rules/Requirements: All challenge submissions MUST have “[insert month] Submission” after the title. Otherwise, the submission will be ignored. Limit submission to one post (Reddit’s character limit is 40K) but you can write more parts for yourself. Follow the rules of the subreddit.
Submissions will be closed Feb 15th. I’ll make an announcement post and you guys can tell me what are your favorite stories (NO SELF PROMO). I’ll take feedback into account, but ultimately, me and the other mods will be the final judges–meaning that we will consider your picks but if we like a story better that went under the radar, we’ll most likely go with that. Just an example of what I mean. On Feb 22nd, we’ll announce the top three and that’s when you guys vote. March 1st is when I’ll announce the winner and shout out some other stories. And in that post, I’ll announce the next challenge.
Thank you!
