~Hakurei Shrine~ > Patchouli's Scarlet Library
Weekly Writing Challenge Thread 2 - The Morning After (Deadline December 31st)
TwilightsCall:
I must say, it's really refreshing to just write something and slap it down. There's something great about being able to close a story, look back, and enjoy what you've done. Thanks Iced for putting this show on for us, writing for it was a lot of fun!
And thanks as well to the other entrants. I really enjoyed reading through everyone's stories, and I hope you guys had as much fun writing as I did!
Phlegeth:
Congrats on winning, TwilightsCall. And yeah I had fun writing it.
But looking back, I wish I chose something else. In my head it seemed like short story, but I ending up having to skip like the first two parts that explained some important stuff. Like why Yuuka is palling around with the oni (she launched a failed coup d'etat against them and got befriended) or how Mima was slumming in a shrine that was new (Yukari is in the middle of bordering Gensokyo and pulled the shrine while Mima was in it.) I should have used Aya as the informant and could have just used a generic Hakurei shrine maiden and just wrote out Yukari's part and it would've probably been better. Also Kasen came off more assholish then I intended too.

Congrats, Twilight! :dragonforce:
This was my first attempt at a Weekly Writing challenge, and I feel like I've learned a lot about writing just from entering. Thanks very much to the judges and fellow participants. :)
Dead Princess Sakana:
Had a lot of fun reading and judging here, a well deserved win TwilightsCall. Everyone keep up the good work. :D
Sect:
Well! Holidays are coming up, and National Novel Writing Month's just wrapped up! I'd say the time's right for a Weekly Writing Contest.
You know, if it were longer than a week.
You always hear about the tea parties and such at the end of incidents. You always read about the festivities and celebrations around this time of year. But, there's something everyone always forgets about, or at least tries to avoid having anything to do with.
What about the cleanup?
Challenge Topic: The Morning After
The challenge this estimated time frame is to write what happens after a significant event, whether it be the resolution of an incident, the aftermath of a party, or the wake of a funeral. There'll be no word count limit or requirement, since this is the holiday season and several of you have just finished NaNoWriMo; it doesn't matter if you post a fifty word submission or a ten thousand word submission (though you should make sure those fifty words are exceptional, or be willing to be shot if you turn in ten thousand words).
Deadline is 00:01 EST, 31st December
