For the participants
Thank you for taking your time to write up a short story for this competition. As mentioned before on the main thread, all stories will be compiled and be posted as an Anthology of SSSC. You'll still maintain the copyrights and can do whatever you want with them. If you do not want your story to be posted as part of the Anthology, please let me know. All authors will be linked inside the anthology.
Thank you for @Justderpin for creating the cover that we'll use for the anthology. If you want really aesthetically pleasing covers for your story at a cheap price check her out here.
Feedback/Complaints
Regarding any feedback, complaints or suggestions you may have for the SSSC please leave a message down below within this thread. I'll try my best to read everything and consider your suggestion. However, please do remember I'm currently running this competition alone hence there's a limit in what I can do.
FAQ
1. Why the use of a picture prompt?
A: I do understand that some of you wanted or prefer a word prompt or a prompt that was more restricted to a theme. However, the use of the picture prompt was so that we could see what the authors could do with the pictures, in other words, we were testing their creativity and storytelling. Majority of creative work created have inspiration from one place or another, the picture prompt was meant to inspire the authors to write a story using the elements from the picture and what they themselves view the picture as.
That does not mean we won't be using word prompts for the future. I plan to rotate between picture and word prompt to be more inclusive to a variety of authors and readers.
2. Why a poll to decide the winner?
As mentioned before I'm currently running this competition alone and I personally felt that I'm not qualified enough to judge whose work is better. Reviewing and rating stories are very subjective and one person may view a work better than another while another person would disagree. As of right now, I think it is best to keep it simple with a poll so that the readers can decide which is better. If this competition grows then in the future we may have a panel of judges, this is not confirmed yet.
Once again, I'm grateful for all those that spent their time to write and submit a story and I hope the readers will enjoy the short story that all the participant have written up and voted for what they view as the best. Thank you.
