🕺 Welcome to the Scholar and Scribe Invitational 🕺
-Valentine's Edition-
Thank you to everyone who participated in our Rise of the Pixels collaboration. I can assure you the good folks over there appreciated your hard work and creativity.
🧹 HOUSEKEEPING 🧹
! This past week has been super hectic for me! Sorry! Forgive your boy! I promise to get to it as soon as possible!
The Invitational is our bi-weekly, super-duper, writing contest. It is where we match quills and draw blood all for the sake of the craft. We all know a 'friendly' competition never hurts anyone, much, especially when it can be used as a platform to improve your writing. 🙌
🥳 Last Invitational Winners 🥳
Seeing as how these are special editions with rules of their own, there will be two sets of winners. One chosen by your standard S&S crew, and the other by the great folk over at Rise of the Pixels. The latter will focus more on the lore aspects.
🥇 Gold: 50 SCHOLAR, 3 SCRIBE, 2 HSBI, 300 Ecency points
As far as I am concerned I was always alone, I could joke that when I was born both my parents missed the date. The lack of socialization during my infancy might have contributed to that, or the fact that my brain doesn't seem to function like everyone else's.
🥈 Silver: 40 SCHOLAR, 2 SCRIBE, 1 HSBI, 200 Ecency points

🤺 Genre and Theme 🤺
The story you submit MUST adhere to the following prompts:
🎥 Genre: ACTION
🤹 Theme: VALENTINE
It's that month of the year again! I know! I can barely hold my excitement too! Let's try and spice up our love lives with some ever-needed action, shall we? Pay attention! The theme is Valentine's and not Romance. Doesn't mean you cannot have a romance story, just means if you do go for the romance route, it needs to be centered around Valentine's. Wait, you can talk bout Valentine's without it being romance? I leave that up to you. 😉
May the odds - and your creative energy - be ever in your favor!
We'd like to give out a big shout-out and thank you to Ecency for sponsoring this contest! 🤗
