Double Life Writer's Contest Story Package

[CLOSED]
Winner: @episode.lillz

Hello Everyone! I am the owner of an episode group from Instagram (@/epsiodeparadise), and I have decided to grow and also let my group contribute to the Forums. I began this group to help all episode users, which includes both the Instagram and Forums community.

What is a Story Package? How will your group help the Forums community too?
Whenever there is a new writer’s contest, I will be making a new post titling “Contest name Writer’s Contest Story Package.” Each post will include a full package of everything an episode author needs for their story. Each time I post, the prizes included in the package can be a bit different, changing the large cover from an edited cover to an art cover, the amount of characters allowed in the covers, the amount of character cards you can win, the episodes our members will read in your story, etc.
All Story Packages Are Completely Free!

Prizes will always include:

  • A Small Cover
  • A Large Cover
  • A Splash
  • An Art Scene
  • A Character Card
  • A Story Review
  • Story Shoutout(s)
  • A Custom Background or Overlay
    Just the amount of characters, styles, character cards, or numbers of episodes we read may vary.

What can also vary is the amount of people who will get picked to get the prizes, along with ways to enter to get the package will be different every time.

What do you mean by "different every time"?

As you will see below, for this writer’s challenge, you will need to attach images of both of your character’s appearance (their normal identity and their secret identity) to enter. The way to enter will change depending on the specific contest, it can be completely random, dropping your story description, a movie that reminds you of that particular writing contest, etc.

Below will be all the information for this Writer’s Contest Story Package:
