Creative Writing Competition 2020
 

I imagine that a lot of us have some extra free time and think that having another MB creative writing competition would be fun. In the past what we've done is had people submit their pieces via PM to keep it anonymous. Then the stories are posted in a new thread and we vote for the best one in addition to guessing who wrote each submission. Most people do short stories, but we can keep it loose on the format to include poetry, scripts, Powerpoint presentations, etc. this time around to get more submissions. We should also get a theme going to make comparing and voting a little easier.

For the theme, we will all be using the same title for our stories. The title that we'll use for this round is Colossus.

Anyone is free to join. To submit your piece, paste your story into https://pastebin.com/ and send me the link. The deadline for story submissions is May 8.

Have fun y'all.

I’ll throw my hat in the ring just for fun but don’t expect much.

I'm down

I'm usually good for this.

Hells ja that's enough to make it official. Anyone's allowed to join in until the submission date for your pieces, which I'll announce later on.

In the meantime, does anyone have any ideas for a theme? Vaguer is betterer.

Conflict vs common ground

Haunted Taco Bell.

I think you should pick a title and we use that as the prompt.

Title: Haunted Taco Bell.

Erotica

Erotic Sonic fan fiction.

I like this.

Erotic Sonichu fan fiction.

I don't want to have to do research into weeb **** for this

Church

I like the title as a prompt idea. I say everyone submit their title idea (one per person), then I'll make a poll and we can vote on it. It'll be a public poll and people who aren't writing can vote but it'll only count as 3/5 of a vote.

Deadline for title submissions is 12PM PST April 1. You can PM it or drop it in the thread.

Not with these lame titles.

Seven Stories That Were Never Written

Plagiarized

Sorry for lagging ass, I'll get a poll up with the titles to choose from shortly. Last chance to put suggestions up then we'll get the ball rolling.

Are you saying that every one will have the same title for their story despite it being Sci-fi, Romance, Historical Fiction, short story, poetry, movie screen play, sitcom, theatrical play, or opera? E.g. everybody's title would be "Love in the Time of Covid19" ?

Not bad.
