Should we start a Writing Competition??

That Re:Born Necro title? That thing was in the works before 2020. I know, I read it when the first few paragraphs was being written in a Google Doc and the author asked around for feedback. As for the other titles, those genres, combine that with the one that did win, it was just good timing. Remember, this place acted as a sanctuary for tons of folks being kicked out of many other platforms like Royal Road.

Ah, forgot. In case you didn't know, those who were ostracized from those platforms were mainly GL, BL, TG, GB, and all other sorts of writers. So, yeah, their followers, well, followed them here.

so you can react today. hmm... it's a great news.

Now you do... guess that ain't something you can say anymore, eh?

See the other person alongside Alverost? Ace, there, is the main fella who started the whole SmutHub thing. Trending didn't exist yet. Popularity got you on the front page back then, and of course, sex sells... it's really attractive.

So Ace got a lot of money from here for that... I guess the little black doggy felt like contributing.

i don't like stories that solely rely on shock value.

i don't like stories that solely rely on shock value.

Neither did a lot of folks back then. So many complained that Tony finally devised Trending to get Ace and... other covers off of the front page for a change.

Let's see hopefully we could make a much better competition this time

Why not keep the top reviewers on SH as the judges their reviews to be greatly affecting the winning

 

[KennyCelican]

They have a duty to make heterosexual love triumph again (not me, I left for the love of girls xd)

I dunno if I could write Het again.

I mean, I could try, maybe. Not sure. But I don't really have the bandwidth to write anything else.

You can't make me!

I will not create another Potato Salad Abomination! NO!

hmm... you didn't say you don't like stories which relies on shock value.

They need to be trusted, too. especially if money is on the line.

 

[Playerkartik]

Normal reader would be able to vote for 1 point each but the judges' decision would carry much more points leading directly the more influence
thus we could avoid shock valu and all novels

Context. If there is gonna be shock value in it, I had better be interested first.

There are many trustable readers on SH
we know them well and how they review and on what basis
if their votes are directly influenced by money we will know

I find my own lack of faith disturbing. I would like to apologize.

You might want to vet them first. Do that by looking at the types of stories they reviewed. Then you'll get an idea on their bias.

i guess your take is pretty balanced. but i don't like shock value at all even if the plot is intriguing, i won't read a story with shock value.

Hmm...We can do that later First let's atleast get the competition..Then Tony and tell him gameplan...Then Tony or we find the sponsor...
Then with sponsor we discuss how we go about the review and all stuff
Ofc if they are sponsoring they won't agree all of our terms
We will have to sort out things
That will depend on the staff how the convince the sponsor

What's your definition? You don't like Vader telling Luke that he's his father or what?

Now the real question. Who will tell Tony? I can try and sort out details but with school and all idk how useful i will be.
