Where In the World

Since I have lacked inspiration for writing, I decided I would come on and host a contest to see if other people's magnificent work could inspire me! I love exotic and new places, so I thought, why not do a contest where someone picks a city and then rights a one-shot where their characters are in that chosen city? I think it could be fun so let's get started!

R U L E S
- Follow Mibba guidelines, of course.
- You may write up to two one-shots.
- Pre-writes are allowed, but they have to be in the city that you choose.
- Any kind of genre/style will be accepted!
- Minimum of 800 words.

B R O W N I E P O I N T S
- Fanfiction because hey I love reading stuff about men/women I aspire to be.
- If the one-shot contains smut, you have me hooked.
- If it's 2,000 words or longer.
- If you don't use a pre-write and actually take the time to write a new piece!
- Choose a city that isn't in your own country.
- If you have men dressed in suits in your story mmmmm.

Deadline to become a part of the contest: Enter whenever you want!
Deadline to submit your one-shots: OCTOBER 22ND

I feel like these are fair dates! If you absolutely need an extension that is a-okay, just shoot me a message! :)

CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS! YOUR PLACES WERE SENT TO YOU IN A MESSAGE ALONG WITH YOUR PRIZES! THANK YOU ALL FOR PARTICIPATING!

@ seth meyers.
I would like to enter with Desert which is set in Cairo but the word count is 617, if I can't then I'll try with one more entery which I'll write and it will be set in either Amsterdam or Tokyo.

@XXXataktoulaXXX

Nah, I will of course let it slide. Would you like to still do a 2nd entry?

@ seth meyers.
Thank you so much.
Yup, I'll try to write a 2nd entry till the deadline.

I'm not sure if I want the place with my name (Florence) or Montreal cause I go there all the time xD

Can I have both please? I have an idea xD

@ XXXataktoulaXXX
Cool! I just added you and your entry to the list! Will your second one-shot take place in Amsterdam or Tokyo?

@Mlle_Purdy
Sure thing you can have both! :)

@ seth meyers.
I meant, can I fit both in the same story? XD

@ Mlle_Purdy
Oh yeah! That's fine! :)

@ seth meyers.
Not sure yet.

@ XXXataktoulaXXX
No problem! Just make sure to tell me once you decide! :)

I'd love to enter this. I have a prewrite that would qualify for Prague, Czech Republic but I'd love to write something new (most likely about Helsinki, or Turku). Will you accept multiple entries? I could go crazy with this, writing about places I've been and fallen in love with.

I'm a big traveller- I love writing about places, all of which I've never lived in. :)

@ seth meyers.
Okay.

@ Captain Serious
Of course! You may have up to two entries :) Would you like to enter the pre-write? :)

@ seth meyers.
I have a story Coming Back Home that I'd like to enter.

If I do end up writing two new stories though, would I be able to enter one of those instead of this one?

@ Captain Serious
Yes! I don't see why that would be a problem :)

I would like to enter with the city of London.

@ seth meyers.

I'd like to enter and write about Charleston, SC in the good ol' US of A, if that's okay

@ slytherin's finest.
Sure thing!

@ i saw sparks
Of course! :)

I would like to enter! May I use Yamaguchi, Japan as my location?

@ Captain Serious
Can we be best friends? Because I was just about to ask for Prague or Helsinki. Ha ha

@ seth meyers.
But may I enter with Berlin?
