Week 6 has come to a close, and we have a winner! Congratulations to Leproxia, with their interpretation of The Artifact.

 

This story had it's pits and falls, but mostly I liked the cliffhanger at the end, the concise description of every character and the very rapid pacing of this -very- short story. I appreciate the cameo, but please, if you are going to do so, just call me Five, or Alex. FiveHours is an internet username and should stay so.

 

However, I think that this story, as a whole, could be a lot longer. If you ARE going to introduce the characters, then make it have some sort of meaning. Everything in the story just felt very compact and rushed. I could see the potential in it, which is my justification for giving this prize, but think the story through properly next time.

 

This Week's theme is in the OP, as always. Good luck, everybody!

Jesus Christ, a triple post. How horrifying.

 

I thought that I would just make this clear. No one has any obligation to try and make an entry every week, or to make an entry in as little time as a day or two. These stories should be thought out and revised, so if it takes a bit longer, so be it.

 

If I won't receive any entries this week, I will simply switch onto the next week's title as normal.

 

Thank you to everyone who contributes!

 

P.S Please follow the thread, so that you don't miss any updates!

I've decided to resume the challenge again, since the forum has shown new promise with the recent stories. I know that writing a story can be dreary in the long run, so perhaps a fresh exercise for the writer is needed in-between updates.

 

This week's theme is The Shadow. The aim this week is to create fear and an ominous feeling of being stalked throughout the piece, while tying it together with a terrifying conclusion. Good luck to all!

<p>This week's winner is TheKingOfAllNoobs, with their submission for <em>The Shadow</em>. After a few revisions, this story became better tenfold, and the finished product is something that should really have some pride taken in it. Although there are a few inconsistencies, the story held up, with a chilling introduction and a relieving and suspenseful ending. Well done, and PM for your prize!</p>

<p> </p>

<p>This week's theme is <em>The Fall of an Empire</em>. The aim is to set a glorious scene; don't go soft on the aesthetics! Then destroy it. I want to feel proud myself, just reading it.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>

This week's winner is Evanescent! This piece was beautifully written, with a narrative that can only be described as mystical. We are taken back through the sands of time, and we are exposed to horrors of a forgotten empire grains at a time, like sad running through an hourglass. PM for your prize!

 

I'll be making this challenge one that starts every Sunday, not Friday. Hopefully this will give people some time to write on the weekends too. 

 

This week's theme is Nature's Wrath. Try this week to make everything work against the characters, and really make sure that every decision has iots own consequences and effects later down the line. Good luck, everyone!



Also, 10 weeks of the challenge!

 

*pops champagne*

 

Thanks to everyone who has contributed something so far! :)

How did i not see this before?

 

Anyhow I got inspired by this weeks challenge and wrote this little poem.

It was fun writing this. I'm curious what you think if it though.

 

 

Beware Nature’s wrath

 

Ye inhabitants of Earth,

Who do all your work,

No matter the worst,

That befalls you.

 

You start out benign,

But soon reveal crime,

Time after time,

You hurt me.

 

Is it not I who gave live,

Provide a paradise,

For you to thrive,

So greatly?

 

You churn your machines,

Mutate the genes,

Turn life into freaks,

Of nature.

 

Beg you to stay your torch,

But wars still scorch,

Your weapons they gorge,

On my body.

 

I warned you with all means,

Flames, pests, ice, disease,

Not heed you it seems,

So blindly.

 

Now as you turn to yourselves,

The void of space starts to swell,

Your own creations wreck hell,

Upon thee.

 

You see nature finds a way,

To fix problems you make,

Not cares wat it takes,

To survive ye.

 

Now you abandon me so,

I swallow it whole,

Earth under my control,

Again.

 

This ends your path,

Who got the last laugh?

Beware nature’s wrath,

Golden coffins.

Very well done, undernown! I liked the style, and although it's free verse the poem still has a very rhythmic flow to it :)

 

Consider following the thread, so you won't miss any more updates.

Yea its more lyric than poem isn't it.

Its a bit silent in here though, hope that changes. Perhaps make the challanges bi-weekly or monthly?

OOOOOOoooooOoOOOooOooooo.....

 

Do you hear that...?

 

...

 

WHY, ITS THE SOUND OF THE HALLOWEEN EDITION OF THE WRITING CONTEST!

 

 

 

 

Firstly, I would want to wish EVERYBODY a very happy Halloween, please gorge yourselves on sweets and chocolates and whatnot, have an awesome time if you're going trick or treating or to a house party, or whatever young adults do on Halloween. I'd like to congratulate undernown for his entry for Nature's Wrath, I think it very nicely encapsulated the essence of the theme, very sorrowful, mystical and... furious. PM me for your prize!

 

As for this week's spoooOooOoOoOOOOoOOoky theme.... 

 

I've updated the OP with not, not two, not even three, but FIVE different titles this time!

 

I'll also extend the challenge to two weeks, so everyone will have enough time. No limit this time, as always!

 

Good luck to everyone, and please follow the thread if you haven't already so you don't miss a single update!

Ooo! Sounds good for some "scare the children" stories.

Did a proper read on op, is a PM stil required for an official entry?
