I'm still really happy that the event we held was a huge success! thank you to the participants who made it in time! and to the readers who really encouraged our participants to continue with their stories! @marblely @Charlotte @hamedbkh @Eybyoung @wakeupkitty Thank you so much for giving us your time and participation! as for those who didn't get to finish their series, @Alther @sheensheen13 (honestly not sure if yours is complete or not because I prolong reading until it's complete but ozzyy didn't include you?) @Itrshoron I still hope you guys finish what you were writing because I'm sure a lot of people would still love to read your current series and the community will definitely be here to support your series.
Announcing the First Stories in Series Contest
The first ever event of stories in series has come to a close and the winners have been announced, hopefully prizes have been but what comes next? I and @Ozzyy have thought about it for a while last night and since Inktober is just a few short days away, we thought, why not incorporate art into the stories? This was mostly my idea because I seem to have become an supporter of artists here XD
What will happen:
The participants will have the entire month of October to write their series but this time, it will need art in it.
The kind of art can be done in sketches, paintings, photography (if it has high relevance but if you're just going to go about it just for the sake of having something there, please don't bother)
If you want to create a sort of graphic novel, a webtoon, manga, comic or even a picture book, that choice would be up to you.
For those who will do webtoon, manga and comic style entries, at least one full page would be good and on this kind of entry, one-shots will be accepted but hopefully you can finish this by the end of October because the of the art
It's different from a photo essay because here, you will need to show characters, not just objects, you will need to show actions and emotions too in your pictures, thus why We'll be allowing some use of photographs. it would be good if your photography style matched your previous art for your series though.
As for those that plan to do visual novels and picture book styled series, an entire part/chapter of your series should include at least 2 images of your chosen art. And again, it should either describe the happening in the story or the whole story could revolve around that/those certain scene.
These will serve as the most basic rules but please be reminded to keep grammar in check ^u^
Prize pool and distribution: To be announced but I'm more than willing to save up $10 for this event, the tips will of course be excluded. Not sure on Ozzyy's part though
Submissions will start on October 1st, the same day Inktober starts in the community Stories in Series (99cf)
Deadline will be October 31st and hopefully the results will be announced the day after. Updates will be given regularly
Subscriptions, short posts, articles about this, etc would not be required, we just want to show the RC community what you guys are capable of, really. I and @Ozzyy will also be making our own entries (OwO) but no prize for us because we're hosts. We'd also like to ask if anyone would love to help us judge? the last event ended up too hard to finalize with just the 2 of us (;;-;;) so if you guys could help out though.
Lastly, It would be a huge help if you mention in the comments people who might be interested!
@ZiraZir @Charlotte @OverThinker @Imdadul.hoque @Athai @Civort@Aella @Oriyanura66 @Terilastovicka If you guys could participate though, I would love to see it <3
Oh thanks for tagging me, I think I could join this, but with my Inktober drawing and short stories, I have to take e deeper look in it to see a mechanics and will decide, because of my lack of time, if I am gonna join. Saved in saved articles. :)
