[SkyGinge]

@Auren : Just the one entry, as stated in the OP

 

[Mordecai]

Are we allowed multiple entries? Just wanna make sure.

For this one, we're only allowing one entry per user. (: We welcome you to write multiple though. I would love to read them, even if only one can be entered.

 

[Auren]

Ah, I missed that xD

 

[Erza Scarlet]

[Poe]

Don't want to be rude, but it is literally in the second sentence.


"In this competition, you'll be given a 1,000 word limit and a prompt. The idea is to write a short story following the prompt, which will then be judged by a small panel of staff, Fellows, and users."

 

[SkyGinge]

@Britt\-21 : A short story, or a prologue or chapter from a story, or an epic poem, or a script As long as it in some way related to the prompt and fits the wordcount, it is acceptable


And I'm glad people are so excited for this! It's been in the works for several weeks now, and like Weli's hinted at, there's certainly more to come!

 

[Britt-21]

Hmm...so we pick one of the vials in that spoiler?

 

[SkyGinge]

@Britt\-21 : Not... quite. Please read through the first page of this thread; Morde explains thing in about the fourth post down.

 

[Britt-21]

...so we use all of them? Im quite confused! xD

 

[SkyGinge]

Use the image to the right to inspire a piece of prose that is between 750-1,000 words. Your story can take place in any time: past, modern, or future, and can be placed in any genre: fantasy, sci-fi, etc.

So, the image on the right side of the prompt (inside the spoiler tag) shows medicinal vials of different emotions: love, happiness, joy. Use that image to inspire a story that is 750-1,000 words long. It can be taken literately, like doctors injecting patients with emotions, or figuratively, like people faking their emotions to fit the situation that they are in. Those are just two very broad examples, but there are endless possibilities. Does that answer your question at all?

 

[Britt-21]

ok so we use the whole picture...OK xD

 

[SkyGinge]

Again, not necessarily You can take a metaphorical interpretation to the picture and the ideas it presents alongside just saying 'there's now capsules for all these different things). But never mind xD

 

[Macaberz]

[QUOTE="Britt-21]ok so we use the whole picture...OK xD

[/QUOTE]
Close but no cigar. It's up to you whether you use all, or just one, or two, or three. Besides they don't have to be vials in your story. Your story could just as well be about just one of the emotions on the labels, empathy for example.

 

[Britt-21]

...ok.. xD

 

[Spazzycat101]

Oh, I forgot! Thanks to all who put this together!


*scrolls through abandoned RP ideas and characters*


Hehe.. :3

 

[Sunbro]

Woo, writing and stuff. Is genuinely excited


So do we have to use the emotions presented to us in the image, or can we use emotions beyond that? Example - Sorrow, apathy, anger. Is all I have to ask. :U

 

[KnightofShadows]

Just to be clear guys, the prompt is what you have used above, we don't receive individual or randomized prompts, is that correct?

 

[Elle Joyner]

@Sunbro - Absolutely use an emotions you'd like


@KnightofShadows - correct

Actually, it's just limited to the emotions presented in the image. Though, it would have been awesome if we could use other emotions ( )


 
Wait, what!? We can use any emotions we like?


That's awesome!

 

[KnightofShadows]

Thanks for the clarification.

 

[Elle Joyner]

Yes. xD The image is just a PROMPT - You can use whatever inspiration comes to mind from looking at it
