Scent of a Rose Writing Contest

INFORMATION

Hello, everyone! It's been a very emotionally draining couple of weeks in America and I was considering postponing this update, to be honest. But because there's only one month left until the deadline, I decided to go ahead with this scheduled post since there is some important information regarding future updates.

I will be posting a two-week reminder, a one-week reminder, and a three-day countdown until the deadline. I have also linked a countdown timer on the foreword for you to use, so you can keep track of exactly how much time you have left. There's one month left so you've got time, but make sure you also keep your eye on the clock so that you don't accidentally miss the deadline!

Since the debut for Red Velvet-I&S has been pushed back to July, their songs won't be added to the song list. But the physical album itself will still be available as a prize. Depending on when their debut is, I might try to time the announcement of the results so that they coincide, as a sort of celebration for the subunit's debut. I guess that's also dependent on how many entries are completed by the deadline. But since I'm still in quarantine, I should be able to finish reading and judging all of the stories in a timely manner. Once there's more information, I'll make my decision and inform you all.

There is also another addition to the Best Of section of the prize list. I've added the Best Of - SeulRene prize at 500 karma points. Just a reminder that the Best Of prizes are contingent upon entries being completed, so these might not be the final prize amounts at the end. So if you're still working on your entry, keep chipping away at it!

Anyway, please continue to write stories, submit entries, and promote the contest! If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact me via the comment box, my wall, or private messages. I respond to all messages within 24 hours. And if you'd also like to be a karma donator, please contact me so we can discuss the specifics. I will repay you for your generosity! Stay safe everyone! :)

I feel really bad saying this :< ... like 'terrible' bad if that's a thing but I'd like to have my entry withdrawn please... I know I still have a little over an hour left before my extension ends and maybe I can still finish but, I really don't want to half my story for anything. Thank you for being understanding and granting me an extension despite which I could not complete my entry, we were informed in the last minute (again! why is everything last minute with me!) of classes that would be conducted online because of how the number of covid cases are rising here again and I just... and that was after I asked for the extension too...*internal screaming* also it doesn't help that I had to entertain some guests yesterday instead of actually sitting down to complete my story oof.



Wishing the other entries the best of luck! And thank you again! for hosting this contest and being understanding!



Now I shall sob because of my terrible luck and read and support the other entries instead c:
