╔══════════════════ ══════════════════╗
❀ 『 Introduction 』 ╮
╰ ❝ Hello, and welcome to Creative Rambling! This is a writing contest, if that wasn't obvious, that is open to all of you who wish to enter. I'm Yutora and I've been put in charge of this department and felt the need to put a contest up here since I have not seen one for the writers of this Guild. ❞ || ☆═━┈┈━═☆ || ❝ This is the first contest I've ever decided to make, so bear with me please. I'll be funding the rounds on my own, so sometimes it might take a moment to get the trades to you. This will be a straight-forward contest; there will be a prompt that you must follow and that's pretty much it. Every month there will be a new one.
Below, you will find the information and rules. Please read them. That's it! I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. ❞ ╮

╔══════════════════ ══════════════════╗ ❀ 『 Rules』 ✎ Only post stories/poems based on the prompt.✎ No plagiarism – meaning no copying/stealing someone's work.✎ Only one entry per person – so decide beforehand whether you want to submit a poem or a short story.✎ Your piece must have a title.✎ Respect others work.
If they do not ask for your critique keep it to yourself.✎ The maximum word count for stories should be 4,500. I do not want to read a novel.
⋯ (( If it's a bit over I will still accept it; but please do not go over 5k of words. )) ⋯|| ☆═━┈┈━═☆ || 『 Important Sidenote』 ❝ This is my contest. You do not have to worry about the content you're writing about. I do not care. Write whatever pleases you. Swear like a drunk sailor, paint a picture with blood and gore, it does not matter. I am the judge and I allow any rating. If it is something with too many intimate scenes or something you feel is not appropriate for the younger audience, either put it in a spoiler, make a warning beforehand or please do feel free to still send your entry in per PM.
Anything goes, and I mean anything. ❞ ❀ ╚══════════════════ ══════════════════╝

╔══════════════════ ══════════════════╗ ❀ 『 Judging 』 Overall you can get 20 points✔ Creativity/Originality/Setting 5 points.✔ Structure/Grammar 5 points.✔ Enjoyment 5 points.✔ Following the prompt 5 points.|| ☆═━┈┈━═☆ || ❝ As for Structure, I'm talking about the grammar and when you start a new paragraph, such things. For example: entering a wall of text will get you nowhere. As for grammar, I will not be harsh, considering I do make mistakes myself, as long as you dont type things like "y u no understand?", you should be okay. For god's sake, just spell the words out. It will not kill you. The points for following the prompt are just how well you managed to do so.
As of right now, I am the only one judging your piece. ❞ ❀ ╚══════════════════ ══════════════════╝

╔══════════════════ ══════════════════╗ ❀ 『 The Prompt 』 ╳ ↘↘ Every month there will be a new prompt that you must follow; this is important, do not submit just something. It has to suit the prompt. If you have already written something ages ago, but it suits the prompt, you may enter it; I will accept it as an entry. If you enter something that does not go with the prompt it will not be accepted.
EDIT:
The prompt system has changed.
To make this easier for all to enter, I will just give you words or a scenario that you'll have to incorporate. The title of the given prompt, which is always in red and bolded right underneath the months, must be used word for word. Let me be clear with this, you have to use not just the title but one or more of the mentioned scenarios.
Which means, if I write: flight, jump and cumble. You must use one of those. ↙↙ ╳ || ☆═━┈┈━═☆ || Prompt for: » N/A « x▐║ N/A N/A
must include one of these: N/A Again, keep in mind to follow the prompt given.Beginning: April 11th
Deadline: May 31st ❀ ╚══════════════════ ══════════════════╝

╔══════════════════ ══════════════════╗ ❀ 『 Prize 』 Current prize pool: 500,000,000.
*** Note: Prizes may vary during other prompts.⊰ 1st: N/A ⊰ 2nd: N/A || ☆═━┈┈━═☆ || 『 Entrants』 ✎ - . ✎ - . ✎ - . Considering the fact that I keep handing out all prizes, I decided to just take down the old amount of entrants needed because I didn't even go by what I said, lol. I just kept giving 1st, 2nd and 3rd. So, as for the new amount of entrants needed for each prompt so it will not be dropped: I will need at least three entries per prompt. Otherwise there will be no winner, though I will hand 500kto whoever sent an entry in for the dropped prompt. ❀ ╚══════════════════ ══════════════════╝

╔══════════════════ ══════════════════╗ ❀How to submit your piece.
I can't believe I forgot this! I am so sorry, on we go.If you would like to like you submit your piece to me in a PM,
please have the subject as Creative Rambling!
Also, it may seem a tad bit silly, but have your name in the PM as well.
Please clarify whether you are entering a story or a poem.
Put the name of your piece in BOLD,
same goes for whether it is a poem or a story.This way it will be easier for me to keep track of the entries.
You may post your piece in the thread as well, but I really need you to make sure that you quote me when you do. I have opened a thread to view previous entries.This leads to it.❀ ╚══════════════════ ══════════════════╝
