Announcing the Risk and Reward Writer's Contest

I’m not sure if you got that error thing resolved which I hope you did because that is a crappy error to get when it’s close to the deadline! :scream: That sometimes happens to me too if I’ve reread so many times or made a lot of changes. I exit the app and then it’ll work. Not necessarily signing out of it but just closing the apps process so it’s not running anymore. Idk if that makes sense but if you use an iPhone, you double tap the home screen and it will show all the apps open and you just swipe up on the Episode one to exit it and then go back to your home screen and reopen it. Maybe try that if it’s still doing that.

I’m excited to read the entries, but also extra anxious about mine :weary:

Nah, I’m not so much anymore :sweat_smile: I’m probably gonna drop out since I’m still uploading overlays which are quite essential for my story (why am I so damn slow?! :weary:) So whether I’m going to publish my story or not kinda depends on the Episode staff and if they approve them before the deadline which luckily is Friday the 19th at 8am (in my case).

A question. Do reads count before the deadline? :sweat_smile:

From what I’ve heard it doesn’t

Yeah, if I remember it correctly then only the reads after the deadline count :thinking:

I’M COMPLETELY STRESSING OUT!!!
I want to go back through my story again, but I’ve just seen it so many times it’s getting old. I’m publishing tomorrow, but I also kinda want to do it today just to get it over with BUT I don’t want to publish it with mistakes. I ultimately decided to start chapter 4, but I have not written anything and I am so vexed omg. No idea why I’m making a big deal out of it since there’s no way I’ll win but of course I have to hope i will. Honestly entering contests is horrible for my mental health, yet here I am about to submit my second contest entry (out of two stories I’ve ever written) and I am experiencing so much anxiety that my grammar has gone down the drain.

Good luck everyone! No idea how I’m going to pull off 20 R4Rs when I hardly spend any time on the app. :sweat_smile: And then there’s all the other people that joined my reading list…
Anyway, HAVE FUN, people. I might not be, but you can, at least!

lmao ill probably delete this later might get flagged for spam

Yup, I should slow down and mostly think about what is good for me. And after it’s published - take a feedback and take into consideration others opinion. :hugs: because now I worry too much. :smiley: Just hit the button and showtime!

I wrote about it to Melanie and she said to me:

“Reads count towards your 100 reads any time after your story has been published, even if it is before the deadline.”

So if people read it before the deadline, it’s still okay? No changes in scoring or smth? :sweat_smile:

I don’t think so, this is what she message to me :thinking:
I think that you need to have this 100 reads, and if it was before or after - doesn’t matter.
