Closed for Judging

Scent of a Rose Writing Contest

Hello everyone! The contest is now officially CLOSED!

Thank you to everyone who sent in last minute entries and worked down to the wire to finish up their stories! I've got a lot of thoughts whirling in my head, but I'll save those until I announce the winners. ^^ So for now, give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back for making it this far with me and get some rest!

Final reminder to those who have been granted extensions: you know when your extension dates are, so please finish by then! I will not be sending you reminders or updating this contest thread until the announcement of the winners, so it is up to you to stay on track and finish on time! Your entry must be marked COMPLETE by 11:59PM PST of your respective extension date in order to qualify for judging.

I will be doing a final sweep of the entry list and crossing off any entries that do not qualify. If you feel that I have crossed off your entry in error, please let me know so that I can rectify my mistake immediately! I will also be reorganizing the entry list, so it's a bit easier for me to sort through. The Best Of karma prizes will be adjusted when all of the extension dates have passed.

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!

If you were unable to join this contest, finish your story, or you want to join another contest and possibly win more merch, then head on over to Shoes of a Unicorn Writing Contest! :D The fun is never-ending there (actually tho) and I'd love to read more from you all! ^^

Anyway, that's it! Once again, thank you so much to everyone who participated and supported this contest! I really appreciate it and I hope you all had fun writing stories! ^^ Go ahead and read everyone's entries to support each other! :D I'll be back in a few weeks with the final ranking list. Until then, have a wonderful day and see you soon! :)

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 like 'terrible' bad if that's a thing but I'd like to have my entry withdrawn please...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:
