Once again, I am amazed at all the surprising twists and turns that people came up with. I'm beginning to really like reading the entries, there's so much diversity, a multitude of ideas, which is a wonderful thing to behold.
Now, I enjoyed reading all the entries, and I wish I had enough to give everyone something, but I do hope that you had fun writing these stories (which is, after all, the main idea) and that you will consider entering again.
You are all very talented writers, with completely unique ideas, and I congratulate you for that. And thank you so much for sharing your stories with me. I'm grateful.
So, it was a hard choice, one that took quite a long time to make. I kept going back and forth between the entries, as I liked them all so much. But a choice had to be made.
And the winner is...
with Dave and Dakota Take on the World
Congratulations! I truly enjoyed your story!
The SBD payout for the contest was 0.741 SBD, according to SteemNow, which I have decided to round up to 1 SBD.
Congratulations, and thanks again to everyone for writing! I hope to see you on my next contest!
RANDOM FICTION CONTEST #3
So, in case you don't know how this works, I have an app, called Improv Toolbox, on my phone that just gives random suggestions of words, names, occupations etc.
Each week, I shall select two suggestions (completely random) for you to use as prompts for a story.
First, let's choose our categories for the week.
Hmm, Oddball and Genre...this should be interesting. Okay, so let's see what we're dealing with.
Our oddball of the week is...
Nicolas Cage delivering a baby
Okay, I did not expect that. I really did not expect it. And our genre?
Seinfeld
Yeaah, I have a feeling this will be the weirdest random contest yet.
RANDOM THEMES: Nicolas Cage delivering a baby & Seinfeld
The RULES:
- Write a story. Just let your mind roam free, don't think too much about it. Just keep the random prompts in mind and GO!
- Second rule is I want to see FICTION. I'm not looking for facts or real life stories, you can draw on them, but I want you to use your imagination for this one, alright?
- Word limit: max. 1000 words (I can make exceptions for up to 100 words, so if you're a bit over, don't worry, it's ok)
PRIZE:
-There will only be ONE WINNER, who will get all the liquid SBD this post raises. I wish I could offer more, but I'm not a whale, so sadly I cannot.
DEADLINE:
- I want to keep a fixed date, as I plan on running this contest on a weekly basis. So, Fridays shall now be the day the contests begin and end. Therefore, deadline will be next FRIDAY, 18th MAY, about midnight.
