Heyooo, everyone ^^.
The submissions have long closed down on our anthology, but it doesn't mean that there is no way to further participate in it as a reader OR writer!
Because, here we are introducing a --
ANTHOLOGY COMMENTS DEATH MATCH GLADIATOR ARENA
\(*o*)/
Okei, just kidding. 
In short, in order to promote more commenting and reader engagement on the anthology entries -- we came up with this fun little quiz anyone can take.
The quiz has 10 questions and puts you in one of the 4 teams at the end.
After you get assigned a team, connect with your other team members and find out how you can plot the demise of the rival teams or how to advance further in your own team.
Once the anthology comes out, each team member can make comments under the entries. Each comment garners points (1-5 depending on the length and quality of the comment. Read about it below). By the end of the anthology release, the team with the highest amount of points, wins the comment battle of BL_Palace teams!
YAY!
What do you win? Mmmmm, we haven't decided yet, but you can rest assured that the
ETERNAL GLORY will be definitely one of the prizes in the comment death match.
The counting of each comment value is such:
1 point -- for emoji comment.
2 points -- for "thank you for the story!" type comment.
Neither of these two types of comments will give you any more comments if you keep spamming them without variegation. (I.e. no double-posting will garner new points).
5 points -- for any feedback or plot-related comments in the story.
10 points -- for a wall of text analysis or genuine advice/feedback/interaction with the author about the themes, character development, and the anthology-related elements of the story ("wall of text" here implies more than 50 words in the comment!).
All points will be counted after the last entry of the anthology comes out and a full week passes afterward! (so likely, in early May!)
The teams signup sheet is
here, where you can enter your name and check out other people on your team!
The team talks and gatherings will happen wherever you find it most convenient for you:
BL_Palace Account where the Spring Anthology comes out
The Secret BL Palace chat room here on the forum (you have access to it if you have posted in
this thread as a BL author/reader)
The BL_Palace
Discord Server
And now, the actual QUIZ.
Go and fill it out and come back to us here, in our chat room on SHF, or in the discord server to conspire with your teammates and plot the demise of your enemies!!
We'll be waiting to see more people participating in the BL anthology death match!!
Above all, remember -- this is not so much a competitive event (since we don't have many prizes to offer), as it is a community and team-building thing and a way to promote more comments and conversations and fun in the anthology comment section ^^.
It's all good ^^.
(But also -- the price of failure is DEATH, but that's... not very critical to know right now, is it?
Flowersss to distract you!! -- >
