Alright! Fuck it! Let's go for it!

Welcome to the second volume of the one and only UEMB writing competition!

It's been like two years since we've done one of these, and seeing as how a lot of the drama has died down, I figured what better time to bring back the writing competition. 

FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS: I will need four judges. I myself will simply host/encourage/announce the results.  If you would like to judge the writing of your peers, pm me! Please don't ask to judge if you have an overly busy life. The last thing I want is add to anyone's daily stress. Only do it if you will enjoy it. K, betch?

SECONDLY: This years deadline will be much shorter. As in January 24th. This will give participants time but not too much time. Last year everyone was done in like two days and by the time I announced the results some people and forgotten about it. SO YE HAVE ONLY TWO WEEEEEKS!

THIRDLY: This year there will be a prompt, an element you must include in your story, and a line of dialogue you must also include. You will be judged on how seamlessly you implement said variables. 

THE RULES:

As I believe in complete freedom of speech and expression, there aren't many rules. But the one's I have are as follows:

1. Do not put your real name or username anywhere in your story. I will be the only person that knows who submitted the stories. This keeps the judging free of bias

2. There is a 2,000 word limit. Your story can be as short as you want but it cannot exceed this limit. Doing so is an automatic DQ. Obviously you can go a smidge over. Just don't be an asshole

3. All three variables MUST be included in your story. Not including them is an automatic DQ.

5. One entry per person

6. Enjoy whatever you create and have fun. Your story can be written in any genre or style so long as it complies with the guidelines set. Yes, this is a corny rule. If you have a problem with that I'll drink your blood.

That's really it for the rules. Now let's move on to what you must include in your story:

PROMPT: A drug deal gone wrong

Element: A threesome (this doesn't necessarily have to be sexual in nature)

Line: "Wow, did you really just do that?"

AND THAT'S IT! We have a writing competition now! Once you've finished, email your stories to [email protected]. Make sure you tell me your username in the email. I will then pass it on to the judges.

It should be noted that there is no prize at this moment as we never really figured that part out. If any of you have any suggestions, I'm open.

Speaking of winners, big shout out to the winner of the first UEMB Writing Competition: @Kweerie!

NOW GO CREATE! And remember, I still need judges lol

Wasn't... Damn I forgot the name, I'm bad with names. Oh @Kweerie.... I guess she isn't around to host it though? I should probably be able to judge if needed. Also 2000 words isn't steep so I'll make a submission if I'm not needed as a judge this time. Either way it'll be fun!

 

If you wanna be a judge hit me up! If not, that's also fine.

I mean I remember last time it seemed like we didn't get that many involved. It turned out great still that's why I said I'll judge if needed. Depends on how many others want to judge... It's been a while since I wrote a short story so I'm still trying to decide. I've wrote plenty though..

I'd say the whole "writing an analysis of my own story longer than the story itself because nobody appreciated it" thing was in bad form.

But I've already started my entry and oh god it's happening again.

Just relax man. You're beating yourself.

Thank you for starting this back up again 🎶

Tbh I'm a little bummed about the mandatory variables so I'll likely sit this out and look forward to reading the entries.

Funny thing is a lot of people complained about there not being enough guidelines last time lol

But this should be a good one. I'm happy when we do shit besides hate each other 🤣

It was a great story, but yes that was bad form. 🤣🤣

Was there a prize last time? I can do a custom rank to the winner.

Last time Kweerie won it and she already had a custom rank so we were like uhhhh..... Lol I mean if the winner doesn't have a custom rank that could be the prize

The only disappointing thing about the rules this year is that the word limit is still 2,000. Oh well, I can cook something up involving the prompt and elements given.

I can't wait to see what you write!

Now I have to wake up, and drive about 50 miles to be somewhere by 6am.. I just got back from doing the same thing today.. How are the other judges doing lol?
