Opening immediately to all members of the Queer Inklings Club, we are hosting a poetry and short story contest to find the best Representation of marginalized folk in the literary world.

Your Judges Will Be...
@Crysi - @Rosendorn - @Kyllorac - @Lumi



Length & Genre Requirements

--> No work should require a rating beyond 16+ or contain pornography. If you must, fade to black.
--> No work should exceed 4,000 words if prose, or 40 lines if a poem.
--> All entries are due by 11/19/2017 07:00 GMT (adjusted to your time zone.)
--> All works must be submitted through the publishing center. If needed, we will provide the points for you to post!
--> You will be judged on representation, character depth, development, and story fulfillment (as well as grammar, syntax, style, and voice to a lesser degree.)
--> There are no limitations to participants as long as they are a member of the Queer Inklings Club. There is, however, a limit of one entry per contestant, and that entry may be changed, switched, edited, anything you may imagine until 11/19/2017 07:00 GMT.


Prizes & Victors
First Prize will win 10,000 points!
Second Prize will win 5,000 points!
Third Prize will win 2,500 points!


So come be a part of our festivities over the next two months! We'll keep you updated on our favorite lines and perhaps review each piece as they come in to stay tightly-knit as a club! And remember, Quinklings: REPRESENT!

@DemonGoddess Writers Corner is a lovely place to flesh out your ideas.

After discussing it with Rosey, I plan on participating myself, though I won't be judged due to unfairness or complications. I don't like complicated things.

@EKK15 --> Could you unlock that pad to be public so we can view it, please? I imagine very few people outside our club will view this thread, so your work will be safe. And let me know if you'd like a walkthrough on how to unlock it!

Will this do? the unyielding man
S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse
a persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma per ciò che giammai di questo fondo
non tornò vivo alcun, s'i' odo il vero,
senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.

Inferno, Canto 27, l 61-66.

Here's my gamble: Our Universal Act
"Writing, though, belongs first to the writer, and then to the reader, to the world.

The subject is a catalyst, a character, but our responsibility is, has to be, to the work."

Here's the wfp for now but I can publish it if you like. Barely edited it from that weirdo post on the club wall so we'll see how well this all goes in comparison to the rest.
