Looking at a new short-fiction contest that's come up...
https://www.wattpad.com/story/412353130-the-flabbergasting-flash-fic-smackdown
After Ravendipity's 100-word challenge, this feels practically leisurely. But we'll see.
@Ravendipity ran their 100-word challenge for three weeks and got a helluva lot of submissions. They're featuring the prizewinning entries in their blog at https://www.wattpad.com/story/377125736-the-wattpad-blog and is actually doing interviews with the prizewinners, per winning entry. That'll be five for me (along with some honorable mentions), the first of which is up now. Talk about a labor of love...I think each interview must be more work for both of us than the actual drabble was.
@morfusmax1 Thank you for the mention, and for taking the time to interview with me! I hope to have your second one published within the next 24 hours, and I'm sure I'll be back very soon to let you know about your other wins, too!
The interviews are in a separate work:

Hi again!
I got a little behind ;-; but I'm back now and doing prizes in full swing. You have quite a few interviews in the queue, but right now, I'm on Week 1 and just about done.
You have not one but two interviews for Week 1! One for Sadness, and one for Love, both mini interviews of 3-5 questions + one wrap-up.
Here are the most important details about the interview:
- No minimum or maximum word requirement! You can write as much or as little as you'd like
- It's all done via Google Docs, so no private communication needed
- No rush on answering the questions—I'll give a nudge after about two weeks to keep it on your radar, but I'm not picky about how long you need for answers
- If now isn't a good time to send the interview, that's fine, too, and I can come back another time!
- I only do minor spell checks to look for typos, but I otherwise do not touch/edit the answers
That about covers most of the major points, but if you have any questions, I'm happy to answer!
And before I move forward, I want to ask the consent questions first! I believe I know the answer to this based on our chat on Discord xD, but I wanted to check back in just in case. Would you like to move forward with the interview? Like the blog, it'll be posted publicly, this time in my Interview Book. Is that okay with you?
If yes, awesome! I'll transfer the questions over to a Google Doc and send the link your way. If no, that's totally cool, too! Either way, I look forward to hearing from you!
@morfusmax1 I'm back! I'm done doing Week 2 interviews, and your one for Week 2 is ready. If you're ready for another interview, let me know and I'll add it into the document!
@morfusmax1 Thank you for letting me know! I'll have one out within the next 24 hours, and then the next one after that!
@Ravendipity Think I'm done with the Love and Sadness interviews. Those questions might have required more thought than the pieces themselves did.
Hey! Hope you don't mind me hopping in on your mb!
I'm reaching out regarding the 100-word contest! I've finally gained some time to sit down and do some prizes, and I'm going through week 1 currently. You took home multiple placements in week 1 (honorable mention in Feel Good, 2nd place in Love, and 3rd place in Sadness). The 2nd and 3rd place come with mini interviews, but all three come with a feature prize as well.
I'll be reaching out about the interviews in the near future, but for the time being, the feature prize is what I'm working on! This feature is posting your award-winning piece (or, in this case, pieces) in my upcoming Wattpad blog, which is meant to show your talents to everyone who reads! So, I was wondering before I post anything: is it okay if I post your pieces in their entirety to the Wattpad blog?
Totally okay if not! I just wanted to reach out and make sure prior to posting anything!
@morfusmax1 Awesome! Thank you for responding! I'll be back within the next few days to talk to you about your interviews, too!
@Ravendipity It is, in fact, totally okay to do so. Thanks for asking.
@Ravendipity, one of my favorite reviewers, is hosting a 100-word challenge: three weeks, multiple categories per week, one hundred words max (according to gdocs word count) each. First week results are in; I got one second place, one third place and one honorable mention. Second week categories are up, and as far as I know they're taking any and all submitters. https://www.wattpad.com/1589339680-the-100-word-contest-open-week-1-results-reviews
A short story of mine recently won the weekly writing challenge hosted by @Struggo and will be made into an audiobook. https://www.wattpad.com/1608277974-community-activities-how-do-you-feel

@Worldd_Of_Paradisee Thanks, but not looking for a new community at this time, especially an unsolicited one on my feed.
I may have said I wouldn't enter Echoes of Home into any more contests. Well, @SeraDrake said she wouldn't host any more contests, and now she's hosting one, so entering it seems like the thing to do... https://www.wattpad.com/story/406156289-the-golden-age-awards
@SeraDrake My apologies. I find I've been under-they-ing recently.
@morfusmax1 - FYI, my pronouns are they/them. I'm mostly agender.
Hiya! It's me again!
With it being close to the holiday season, I just wanted to pop in and say a quick thank you for being part of my awards, and I hope you're doing well! I hope your holiday season is full of warmth and fun, and I appreciate all your kindness you've shown me since we met!
I can't wait to read more of your work in the future!
~ Raven
@morfusmax1 Thank you! I'm excited to see the side stories! It's always fun to explore different stories in the same universe, so I hope you've been having fun with those! Ahh Expedition 33. That's my favorite game of all time! I'm doing a playthrough of its DLC now (and failing miserably at the boss fight...). It's safe to say I danced around my room when I watched it win Game of the Year. Don't think I've ever been that happy over an award before, lol.
@Ravendipity Thanks! Best wishes for your holiday season as well. Most of my recent work has been shorts for community projects and prompts, though I did do a bunch of EoH side stories that I'm working to incorporate in book 2. If only I can get past being stuck on entry #4. Thanks for your contests and commentaries. And in case you haven't finished it yet, good luck with Expedition 33.
