Young Writers Society

For every month for a year, I will do a month-themed contest.

This month, it will be a contest based on Thanksgiving - duh - but with a few twists.

1. You must include a talking turkey as a character named "poulet." (That's "chicken" in French)

2. You must have someone dying - it could be the turkey!

3. It must have the word "queue" and "bashment" in the story.

4. You will earn extra points if you put a supernatural element.

It must be a short story or a poem and there must be a review reserved for me and two other judges. Post it in this thread once you're finished INSIDE OF A SPOILER!

1. @DemonGoddess
2. @alliyah
3. @LadyLizz

I will be accepting 5 participants.

1. @ZeldaIsShiek
2. @Steggy
3. @ForeverFlying
4. TBD
5. TBD

The winner will receive 500 points. The second and third place winner will receive a gift. The fourth and fifth will receive nothing. If you put a supernatural element, you will get 50 points.

If you are a judge, I will give you 100 points for participating.

My only rule is no romantic scenes and no non-fiction unless it is necessary for the story (like, you need to get facts right). Swearing, violence, and all of that is allowed if you break the rules, however, you will be disqualified, no warning.

Hey if you still need a judge I would love to! If you've already got judges figured out that's fine too, just thought I'd offer. This looks totally fun though!

yep! All positions except for one judge is open, @alliyah.

Also, subscribe to this thread if you're joining.

I'm not going to be participating in the contest (I'll be too busy with NaNo!) but I'm just curious- how are you expecting people to reserve their work for only the three judges to review, and why? Do you want people to post it in this thread, instead of through the traditional YWS publishing centre? If so, that would make more sense. If people post their work via the publishing centre, they won't be able to stop people from reviewing their works.

Best wishes! Looks like a fun contest! c:

Oh, yeah, I didn't think of that lol XD thanks @Holysocks

If you need another judge, I'm available to do so. This looks interesting and even though I don't have time to enter the actual contest, I would like to sign up for that last judging position.

got it @LadyLizzLovelace

I would like to participate!

Also, where and when do we post the entries? Do we post them in this thread in a spoiler, or the link to it from the YWS publishing centre in a spoiler, or what? And also, can we only submit entries in November? Is the final entry date the last day in November? Tell me more!
