Contest Stories

(X) Open for Entries until midnight EST on July 31st. (GMT -5) Welcome to The Ever-Generating Story Awards! TEGSA 2026 is here! Can you craft an entire storyline based on ten prompts in a specific order? It's not as hard as it sounds. (Really, it's not.) A song will be assigned to each of your ten main chapters. You may use their titles, the names of the songwriters/performers, or meanings to create your prompt. The best part? You have the freedom to interpret them in any genre you want. You know the prompts are calling your name. Are you ready? (Fanfiction is welcome as long as it's read as a stand-alone, and readers do not need prior knowledge of the original fiction to read it.)

To keep myself from losing track of: all the 2026 contests I've entered, all the 2026 contests I've volunteered myself as a judge (or let myself be volun-told into judging), all the 2026 books I've had to read as a contestant or as a judge, all the 2026 deadlines, and all the other important stuff, here is a book that registers all these 2026 things in a somewhat organized fashion. With occasional commentary. For the record, I am not Lady Whistledown, and I do not have all the gossip of the ton. Nota bene: Although other people are welcome to browse my public contest logs and look for contests, look for information about details of contests (i.e. you want me to pour you some tea), etc, these contest logs are primarily for my own use. I enter so many contests that I can't keep track of them without a log. I forget important details, too, including things like "Note to self: You do not get along with this contest host, best not participate in their contests." Like my 2024 and 2025 contest logs, this journal was never meant to be an "expose" book. I'm not exposing anybody. Contests are matters of public record, as are any comments made in the contest books. I'm just a ditz who needs a written log to keep track of everything. I would lose my head if it hadn't been attached to my shoulders. I DO NOT CONSENT TO MY POETRY AND PROSE BEING USED TO TRAIN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Natalia has her life all figured out. She only has one role. That is to protect her twin brother, The Crown Prince of Demotia, from every threat. She is exceptional at it and is winging it. That is until, She gets summoned to the capital of Athanasia-The Empire to which Demotia is subject, to compete with other 29 noble ladies for the heart of its Crown Prince. The infamous, cold, cruel, and ruthless Tyren of Athanasia. She hates the idea of it. She doesn't want to leave her kingdom and brother vulnerable, but she knows the best way to protect them is by walking into the lion's den. Will she survive it? Will she win the lion's heart? Is she just losing herself in the stakes of it all? Or will she find love? ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Story impressive ranking #1 in The Selection |23/04/2024| #1 in Princess |22/04/2023| #1 in Duty |13/04/2023| #1 in court |01/04/2023| #1 in ballroom |31/01/2023| #1 in Contest |26/04/2023| #1 in Season |15/06/2023| #1 in Bridgeton |26/07/2023| #1 in historical Romance |01/03/2024| #1 in Ball |19/10/2023| #3 in Royalty |27/06/2023| #11 in fiction |17/11/2022|

ONC 2026 | Brynn hates snow. Which is funny, really, a cosmic joke she'd laugh at if her throat weren't so frozen she could barely form words. Every morning as the sun rises, she wakes up in a fucking-freezing forest, snowflakes landing on her cheeks and nose, and her heart skips a beat because she's back there again, on that road, and she doesn't know why. She can't remember who she was; she can't recall the faces of people in her life, neither their voices, nor their names. All she knows is that there's a path ahead of her, down along the snowy slope that stretches for miles, and no way back. So Brynn goes on. Step after step into the treacherous whiteness, until the sun begins to set behind her and the white path is hit by the worst snowfall ever. And there, alone and cold, Brynn dies. Again. And again. And again. Until one day, something... changes. The always-so-straight road forks in two, and, for the first time in an endless list of days, Brynn feels like she has a choice. She can go right, and follow the same snowy path that will lead to her being buried in snow and, well, die... Or she can go left, and walk down the green path she has never seen before. What could possibly go wrong? Brynn doesn't know. But of the many things she doesn't know, there is one she knows for sure: she is tired of being cold. ### Main Prompt: 102. You break into an abandoned cottage for shelter, only to discover three bears that are anything but ordinary. Something in the shadows stalks the house, and every choice you make could be your last. Secondary prompts: 16. »And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.« (Quote by John Muir) 78. You begin to realize that nothing is quite what it seems. 80. »Monsters don't live under our beds. They live in the recesses of our minds.« (Variation of Edgar Allen Poe's famous quote)

Ziggy Hamantaschen Widdershins XX is a long Furby who has a passionate and slightly unhealthy obsession with all things related to the pharmacy Walgreens. No one can explain why he loves it so much, although experts from all over the world have struggled to find an answer. Sure, he can get his mother's dementia meds or nibble absent-mindedly on some Ghirardelli or even play sudoku with Velgar the shadow demon there. But despite everything, there seems to be no single, concrete explanation. Join me-the documenter of Ziggy's strange life and the author of this biography-on an awesome and wonderfully weird journey through Siegfried Hamantaschen Widdershins XX's life! Currently #1 in long Furby, #1 in Furby, #1 in Furbies, #1 in Walgreens, and #1 in weird fiction! I'm a true scholar! WHAT TO EXPECT NEXT: - A contest winner on August 3rd and a new bonus section. ENTER THE CONTEST WHILE IT LASTS! **AUTHOR'S NOTE:** This is a short story that I had previously written that I am now posting on Wattpad. I made this version to add bonus content and new paragraphs if I want to. Despite being nearly completed, and having my full approval to be finished, I will be taking recommendations and suggestions for new bonus paragraphs! Ziggy is a rising star and deserves to have his story continued! Please note that all ideas/suggestions will not be accepted!

WARNINGS: swearing, stalking, creepy ex (thats it so far) Project Twilight follows Cosmo, a quiet and distant contestant who finds herself competing alongside 32 other objects in a series of challenges hosted by Nexus, Echoed, and Waterlamp. everything seems fine, but beneath the competition are hints that not everything is what it seems. the grand prize is the Twilight Stone, an artifact that is said to grant its winner the power of a god. Who will win? What will happen? Will the straight couple get together? /hj Will the shipping be a problem? (hopefully not) Will there be lots of lore? That's the only thing I can answer. YES! episodes on Project Twilight WILL take a while, so be patient if a new part hasn't come out in months. I want each episode to be as amazing as possible. also the character in the cover is Cosmo.

The world can be too loud for her... but he is her perfect silence. For Winter Montgomery, surviving a single day requires carefully calculated strategies. Social anxiety makes every interaction a battlefield. So when her outgoing sister announces a whirlwind destination wedding, Winter is sent into a full, paralyzing panic. She needs a shield against endless family questions and crowded rooms. She needs a professional. Enter Nicholas. Hired as a "Social Buffer," his only job is to pretend to be her doting boyfriend, navigate the crowds for her, and ensure neither of them ever crosses the line. It's supposed to be strictly business. But between stolen moments in quiet hallways and whispered late-night confessions, the boundaries begin to blur. For the first time in her life, someone is truly listening to Winter. Truly seeing her. With Nicholas by her side, the overwhelming noise of the world fades into a peace she's never known. Now, as the wedding countdown ticks away, Winter faces the most terrifying calculation of her life: letting go of her safety net, or risking her heart on a love that feels beautifully, dangerously real.
