on hosting a writing contest

Time flew by so fast that I didn't even realise that I had spent 4 years in this site (and I finally changed my name to something I like better. My 13-year-old self wasn't very logical in naming my account back then XD). I also realised that it has been 4 years since I last wrote anything to be published. While I really wish to write a fic sometime soon, university has been a total pain in the and won't allow me to properly sit down and write (especially being a science major - so many things I need to read and remember :<). I have yet to stop coming up with plots, though, but right now they are rotting in my notebook.

 

Hence, I might open up a contest soon in which the contestants will have to write a story with a plot I came up with. Most of them are rough sketches, more like scenarios than actual plots, that could be developed freely. Some of them, however, are quite detailed in providing perhaps a history or character background. Not sure when this will actually be put in motion, but I reallly hope to be able to let these plots see the light of day and paper.

 

Therefore, if anyone out there reading this post is interested in a contest like this, do leave a comment so I'll at least have a vague idea of whether this project should be put into motion. Of course, if anyone is willing to contribute and help me with it, you're very much welcome to since I'm practically a newbie in hosting these stuff. Also, how long are contests usually? I've seen contests run for a whole year, while some only for a few months or even weeks. Any expert on hosting contests please teach me, senpai >.<

 

Anyhow, that's it for now and hopefully people will be interested in it!

I'm raising both my hands now *Wave* *Wave*
I'm going to join, that's for sure if I can think of something that related to the plot you have.
And, I'll contribute too ^_* Just let me know.

I don't know about other writers on here, but contest like this often help me rekindle the fire in stories my actively writing. I would join something like this and if you do decide to do it I'll be one of the first people on board.
