Hello everyone!
This is the 2018 writing contest signups thread!


Welcome one, welcome all! I've decided to host a writing contest yearly, and so here's the 2018 one! Last year's was started a bit late, but here's the new year, and I'll give everyone a month to sign up before the contest officially starts! The contest will start somewhere in the middle of February!

If I've pinged you, I thought you were interested or you participated in last year's round. If I didn't ping you, it doesn't matter! Feel free to join!



The rules for the contest are (these will be on the contest thread too, in case someone forgets):
- Have fun above everything else!
- Please write accordingly to the theme or what is required
- As long as I can understand your story, it's okay. Which means, try to use the correct grammar and spelling.
- Keep it appropriate!
- Your story entered should be your story, written for this contest, not a previous piece
- Blood and Gore is okay, including other stuff that might be triggering. But if you do write about it, you MUST put a warning beforehand.
- Don't be mad if you didn't make it into the next round; there will be a next year!
- You may edit your story as much as you want before the allotted time
- Any changes or submissions after the time limit will be ignored
- If someone does not enter a story before the alloted time, they will be automatically eliminated
- Under the condition that in the final round, nobody enters a story, I will be choosing a random person from the previous round and giving a reward, but the reward will not be the final prize

This year's prize?
100k + PB Astral Wanderer's ryo + random themed from my stables, and maybe more!
Runner ups get...
A PB themed or a chosen eggling from two pets in my stables!
Even though people get eliminated each round, nobody leaves empty handed! Everyone gets a prize, even if they're eliminated!

Interested yet? Well, here's the sign up form!

To answer your question, yes, as long as it fits in one of the three prompts. You can check out last year's contest thread to see how it works.

Welcome!
To answer your question...
Poetry has already been one of the themes. In fact, it was a prompt in the last round of last year's contest. Of course! What is writing without poetry, lol?
