Featured Contests

Let's have a look at this week's contests!

Fantastical Creatures

Contests about creatures other than humans often attract a lot of attention as many users are interested in what it would be like to be fast, stronger or just all-round better than humans. Sometimes stories show the creatures in a positive light, emphasising what makes them attractive to write about, while some cast a dark light upon them and show readers that maybe being human isn't so bad after all.

starfire.'s contest has a whole range of different creatures that users can write about. From angels to selkies, zombies to nymphs - any creature can be written about in her Fantastical Creatures contest. The host even allows suggestions of creatures that haven't been listed just in case a user is dying to write about a certain creature for the contest only to find out that it hasn't been listed!
