Calling all writers to join this contest!

I know often contests are published with a horrible timing, and when the markets don't look as great as they did anymore, people lose interest. That's no difference here I guess, but I know there are still a lot of great writers around that could help us make this contest a success. Please tag all the writers you know in a comment or share this blog to get more eyes on the post. We really appreciate any kind of exposure!

Extended deadline

To get more eyes on the contest, we have decided to extend this round with another week to submit your entries. This means this round will now run until

  • Friday December 2nd, 23.59

I will add a timer to this post so you can easily check if you're still submitting within the deadline.

The emphasis of this contest is to have fun!

If you are just a hobby writer and think you know nothing about script writing, this contest is meant to have some fun and who knows you might pick up a few new skills along the way or find a new passion to explore. I personally have never written a script but I will try to enter myself at some point. The thing is I didn't have any time for it yet in the past week, maybe this is the same for you? I hope this was the case and some sweet new entries will pop in the comment section of the contest post during the next week. This way we are sure not to miss any of your entries.

Maybe you have questions?

As I explained in the contest post myself, this is a new field for me too, it's something that I'm doing by trial and error. I'm not a pro script writer and I can only say that this initiative has been set up by some film fanatics that thought this would be a fun idea. If I wasn't clear about something, don't feel embarrassed to ask what you need to know, I'll answer as soon as possible.

A few notes

Thank you to @fantom22, @bethyjade, @nbarrios67 and @misslasvegas for submitting an entry to round one! We have seen and listed your entries and now it's time to wait until the contest closes to see who won a prize. You will have to wait one more week now that the contest is extended, but hopefully this also means we have a few more entries we can all enjoy and compete with.

There is one thing I'd like to remind everyone of and that's the correct way to add a source to your image as well as picking the images that are ok to use, not just randomly found on the internet. We had one good entry from @bethyjade that we had to disqualify for this reason. We believe there is no harm intended, therefore we invite her to submit another entry in case she feels inspired to do so.

I will leave the link @traciyork left on her entry here for other readers and writers as well, it's a guide by @sidwrites - The Ultimate Hive Copyright Guide. Very useful in case you're wondering if you're doing the right thing when using other people's images. Please check it out.

Final thoughts

We are still excited about the format of the contest and hope more writers find their way to the contest in the next week. Please make sure to first check out the rules and guidelines in the contest post and leave a comment to your entry in the comment section of the original contest post. Maybe reading the other entries can inspire you to write your own entry, just always remember to be original and use images that you are allowed to use linking to the source.

For now, this is all, wishing you a great weekend and lots of writing fun in the next week!

@cinetv I have a question in this context there is any restriction if some violence etc. is shown in the script, or story, which will be written after this character creation? Because without writing it, it becomes a bit difficult to make a mystery story.

Reblogged and sent to a couple of wonderful writers that I know! I'd love to read more scripts. ♥️

avatar

I added mine to the mix :) ... Thanks so much for telling me about this 💙

!PIZZA !ALIVE !LOL

I will take some time to help with the script, I hope more people will join in. !PIZZA

I know perfectly well that you are right and I accept responsibility for my mistake but it took me days to think of a good story that was well developed to also create my characters with a good psychological profile and that everything was cohesive enough to discard my idea and go through the same process to develop another one, having spent days to make this contest so that in the end my idea doesn't participate (although I repeat I know it was my mistake) I was quite upset because I can't imagine another idea for the title that you gave us so I prefer not to participate this time, maybe next time but I am grateful that they have offered me the opportunity to make an entry for the contest again.

I'm angry with myself because all the content I spent days working on and which is fine, ended up being disqualified because of some photos I decided to put to decorate the text and illustratively that the truth is that in the end it didn't matter if I put them or not because what was going to be evaluated was the text itself. Although you learn from everything and probably for this reason now I am even more demanding or more pragmatic with what I do. Remember to check every tiny detail of what you do in your entries :3 UwU

We will continue with the contest, good to know that there is a chance for more entries. Greetings to all and best of luck!

Thanks for always thinking of me 🥰

My boy arriving home tomorrow and I haven't seen him for two weeks so am gonna be full tilt mama mode

Missed him big time!!!

Next time, I hope. I've never written anything like a script before. What a cool prompt!

Keen to read entries

Let's go, guys!

avatar

Enjoy your time with him :) ... How old is he?

!PIZZA !ALIVE !LOL

avatar

He's almost 12 and the funniest person I've met in person by far

And I'm not being biased

He's super quick and utterly hilarious. 😄

Can't wait to see him 🥰

avatar

Then he might like My Ride and The Coin :) ... Honestly he'd probably love the Goddess series, but you need to give it a read first, as there is some violence.

!LUV

avatar

Well. He's decided to join Hive so I'll send him to that collection.

Violence. Have you seen the latest Marvel movies? 👀

Not like the Superman we watches as kids. Geesh...

Infinity war... spoiler alert.

Everyone dies

avatar

Oh, then any of my posts would probably be acceptable to you for him to read then 😂

!PIZZA !ALIVE !LOL

avatar

Well... within limits. I'll have a read first :)

Been on the go here and more tomorrow again. Hmmmm... I was hoping for a bit of stillness for a bit but it's seems not yet.

Or perhaps this is just the modern world...

Sending hugs.

Hopefully you will get some relaxation soon, I hope you are enjoying your weekend ;)

!PIMP !PIZZA !ALIVE !LOL

avatar

No time to rest yet! :/

I guess that is the compromise of being free to wander though.

Thanks for hittin' me up 😁

Looking to find a peaceful place for that relaxation still... things got even more weird from that weird even! Wow!

This will, however, make a pretty good story one day.

I'll be back...

avatar

I look forward to your return, hopefully things are better for you soon :)

This actually inspired the scene by the seaside so keen.

Super fun to write a script. 👍

I'll keep your admin low key because I know how busy you are.

Just thanks for you and you being you. 🙏💗
