Basically, I will PM you a kid's story (like the Thirsty Crow, or the Tortoise and the Hare), and you have to sort of add more layers. I know it's not clear, I'll explain-

Let's take the thirsty crow as an example-
  • Add more description
  • You could replace the animals with humans
  • You could explain why your character has no food and water. Is he/she/they poor? Were they robbed? Something else?
  • You could replace the pot with a well.
  • Anything else, it will be your story.

How to participate- (all participants will be getting different stories)
You just reply to this thread, before 08/31/2018 00:00 GMT (will automatically show in your time zone). If there aren't five participants by then, will probably extend it.

If you want to be a judge-
Just reply to this thread, before 08/31/2018 00:00 GMT (will automatically show in your time zone). Will be accepting two more judges (three in total, myself included).

How to submit-
You have to PM me your story, and not post it anywhere else on YWS.

Deadline-
So, will be giving you 15 days to write your story, which means your deadline is 09/15/2018 00:00 GMT(will automatically show in your time zone).

Your prize- (announced sometime in the week after submission)
I will review anything of my choice from your portfolio by the end of September.
1st prize- 3 reviews
2nd prize- 2 reviews
3rd prize- 1 review

If you have any questions, you can ask it here or PM me, whichever you prefer.

  2. @Holysocks

  4. etc.

Judges
  1. @TheWeirdoFromBeyond

Quick Update
I will be accepting participants even after five days of the initial deadline but they WON'T be getting extra time to finish it.
