Featured Contests

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

Robots and Cyborgs and Androids, Oh My!

Science fiction is often amazing and contains aspects which are beyond what our world could ever imagine, something which is part of why it appeals to so many people. Some characters often get overlooked in these pieces of fiction as they're often the sidekick or not as important as the main character, and inej ghafa has decided to dedicate a contest entirely to them. That's right, for all you robot and cyborg and even android lovers out there, she's created a contest just for you!

Her Robots and Cyborgs and Androids, Oh My! contest also provides a brief description of the three of them for those who aren't quite familiar with the characters but would like to join regardless. Entries don't necessarily have to be from the perspective of one of those characters - it can be all based around that character's actions or decisions and be through the eyes of a human or other species. The host doesn't put these constricts in place which leaves this contest open for users to allow their creativity to flow!

Brotherly Love Contest

You can't pick your family is a saying that is often heard. There's no question that siblings can be the worst people in existence at times, but they can also be the best people to exist too. Having a sibling means that you have people you hate to the ends of the earth on one day, and then be in a car with them singing your guts out the next. It's a relationship that can be complex and no one can understand it but yourselves, and that's the beauty of it all.

TheDevilsHalo;'s Brotherly Love Contest wants participants to write an entry focused round a really strong brotherly bond that also incorporates two of the word prompts that are also listed within the first post. Users are free to choose which two words they are and can twist them however way they want, just so long as there's heaps of brotherly love within the entry.
