I haven't seen one of these in a really long time, so I thought I'd start another one, if anybody is interested!

Prompt: a relationship that changes and develops over time (you can write your story however you interpret this prompt)

RULES FOR COMPETITORS

  • If there are any mentions of suicide, self harm, sexual assault, anxiety attacks, or child abuse, you must include a very obvious trigger warning. If you fail to do this, you will be immediately disqualified. No exceptions.
  • No making fun of anybody's work. Only positivity is accepted here!
  • THIS IS A SHORT STORY. STORY MUST BE UNDER 5,000 WORDS.
  • No collaboration works. This is an individual competition. (you can ask for reviews and advice, though!)

RULES FOR JUDGES

  • If you are biased about anybody's work (like the competitor is your best friend, girlfriend, sibling, etc) DO NOT JUDGE THAT WORK. Leave it to the other judges.
  • Do not talk negatively about anybody's work. Ever. It took time and effort, please recognize and appreciate that. When giving criticism, you must keep it as positive as possible.

IF YOU WANT TO COMPETE, YOU MUST ENTER BY 8:00 PM PST TOMORROW
WRITING ENTRIES ARE DUE SUNDAY AT 8:00 PM PST
JUDGING WILL BE FINISHED NEXT TUESDAY AT 8:00 PST

@RedTheLoveless

I'd like to try my hand at this but I do have one question about the prompt. Is this changing relationship specifically between characters or can we deal with broader subjects like humans and the earth or time and space?

@SaltyLasagna

It can be whatever you want lol

@RedTheLoveless

Sweet lol. Thank you.

@SaltyLasagna

@ninja_violinist

Hi, I might want to join but I'm not sure if I'll have the time. Is it possible for you to put me down as a "maybe"?

@SaltyLasagna

Sure. I could also make an exception for a late entry, if you really need me to.

Hello! I would like to join. My writing will probably involve anxiety attacks, so just a beforehand trigger warning :)

Also, it's gonna be really horrible, so yeah. I'm gonna try, though.

May I open a new topic thing and ask for critique and changes to be made before I submit my work?

May I join? Also, is fanfiction allowed or nah?

@SaltyLasagna

Yes you can join. And fanfiction is allowed, but I'd prefer you didn't do that, as it could make your work more or less favorable (depending on the judge's opinion on the fandom you're writing for)

judge noise

You can ask me (and i guess the other judges if there are any?) but more so me, what fandoms I’m part of.

Buuuuut the fandoms I’m part of, I don’t like shipping fan fics

Just like

Creative and good ones that could actually relate to the plot. Romance with that fan fic wouldn’t hurt.

person_off

Yeah, the sole purpose wouldn't be shipping, more adventures through time and space with a little shipping on the side if that's okay?

person_off
Deleted user

Yeees but what… fandom are you doing?

If it’s one i despise

I’m not going to look at it any different but I’ll be super confused xD

person_off
Deleted user

Adventures through time and space was a pretty obvious hint, but it's probably gonna be Doctor Who unless that won't work, or I come up with something that would go down better with the audience.

person_off
Deleted user

yee i guess

Also Doctor Who would be pretty cool but I haven’t seen much of it.

Don't worry, I won't make it overly complicated.
