So I, after getting some inspiration, decided to bring it to Episode for our community. Now I receieved inspiration from someone on a different site (one used for strictly fanfiction) but I know we can’t write about actual people. (Credit to the story that sparked my inspiration: http://www.onedirectionfanfiction.org/Story/91578/One-Direction-Fanfiction-Exchange/) So, taking the idea and mixing it up, I feel this contest would be really fun for our community to do.
Now all credit goes to the creator of the story I linked above. I personally messaged the creator for permission.
So now that I explained the credit and permission, let’s move on with the contest.
HOW IT WORKS:
1.Use the form given below to sign up. Write three different prompts/story plots that you want to read about. Those will be sent to another person with your name and username. They will choose one prompt out of those three and write the story; using animations, whatever style you recommended, and directing skills.
2.In return, you will receive the prompts along with the name and username of another person whom you’re going to be writing for.
WHEN TITLING YOUR STORY, MAKE AN ORIGINAL TITLE, BUT ADD #EpisodeExchange TO THE END OF IT SO I CAN FIND THEM EASIER
3.You’ll only know the name of the person you’re writing for, not the person who’s writing for you until all stories have been submitted
4.Please indicate what you don’t want to read or write for preventing you from getting something you’re not comfortable writing.
5.Please also make sure to answer the question that specifies what style you want your prompts to be written in and what styles you don’t/do want to write in
6.Your email (you can give the email when filling out the sign-up form) is where you’ll be receiving your prompts.
7.When you have finished your story/prompt, publish your story with the title and the added #EpisodeExchange simply send me the title or link in the Episode app
8.Once I have all stories, or have what I had been given, I will message each person their dedicated story and inform them of the author of the story
9.If you need to ask questions to specify a plot, message me and I will message your targeted person the question and deliver you the answer so prompts stay anonymous.
REQUIRED FACTORS:
- You can have an original title but add #EpisodeExchange to the end of it
- A minimum of 3 chapters, each chapter having a minimum of 500 lines
- You need cover art for your story- and any other art intros/splashes/whatever. If you need help, I make covers and I’ll gladly help out. I’ll post my examples at the end of this thread
- You must pick 1 prompt and stick to that prompt
- When I deliver you the prompt to write about, take into consideration what the person requested to NOT read about and avoid writing about the listed topic(s)
- If you need character names, details, or anything else, message me with your question and the account you’re writing it for, and I will message the account with the question and give you the answer so everything stays anonymous
NOTES/RULES:
