Featured Contests

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

The Great Big Character Contest

The Great Big Character Contest is one that asks participants to choose a character from the picture provided and make them central to their entry. Users are required to form a plot based around their chosen character -- for example, if they chose the option of 'the twins', the user would have to keep that in the forefront of their mind when developing a plot for their entry, especially as the character chosen can be twisted in any way so long as it's still able to be recognised.

There's a whole range of characters to choose between, from options such as the king, the genius, the lunatic and even the convict. There's sure to be one that appeals to each individual user, and the host, cis., is allowing up to three people per character, so it isn't likely for the one a user might want to be completely taken!

Deadline

For entries: 10 April

Emotion Original Slash Contest

Emotions tend to be quite popular to write about, even Disney made them the focus in their film Inside Out. So finding a contest that requires users to select an emotion from a list provided and write an entry that uses that feeling isn't that hard to do. However, insufferable; has put a twist on their contest - the entries must be a slash fiction story.

Emotion Original Slash Contest is there for those that enjoy writing slash fiction as well as those who enjoy delving deep into the spectrum of emotions that the average human being is capable of feeling. With no other restrictions placed on users, entries can be about pretty much anything! No limits!
