i've another question. if i do a team of MCs and the leader of the team uses a sandal as a weapon but the other team members use conventional weapons, would this story still be valid?
Can I ask something? If the weapons were rubble or flying chakram controlled by MC's power, is that count as an unconventional weapon? or the MC need to wield the weapon directly to count as an unconventional weapon?
Is accupressure using fingers to trigger body reactions (stop the hearbeat, laughing, sneeze non stop for two hours, fart, etc.) can be categorized as an unconventional weapon? Thank you.
Since the winner is based on number of readers, can you change the contest list link from based on "popularity" to "readers"? It might be confusing otherwise?
In the space exploration theme, what if it was already explored and there's already a stablished kingdom etc. But the mc who was just isekaid and has no idea about his surroundings wants to explore what the universe has to offer?
And about the non mainstream weapons theme, what if the for the people of that novel it was an unusual weapon? For example the mc who was just isekaid uses old school sword while the whole universe uses Lazer guns and lightsaber etc
Hi,
How long does it take for my story to appear? I posted about 20 minutes ago but it does not appear. It is my first time writing so i wanted to double check i did it correctly.

1. Cover question! What if I have no way of contacting the creator/s? I had the image link but I that's about it. Btw, image had the artist's name(i think embedded on it). Thanks!
2. Is popularity the only way the contest is judged? I mean reader counts were also fan-base reliant. Asking if no-names like me have any shot at this.

A lot unknown authors participated in the prior competitions before and got many readers. As long as you write GL and gender bender for the thirsty readers. It depends on what you write, the contest tag+new story section usually gives you some more exposure. u.u
Oh, then I'm better off not having any cover than get disqualified because of it. Alright! I'll just leave the link of my supposed cover image but take down the actual image so I could use it after the contest ends (I won't be violating any rules by then XD). I'm only doing this for practice anyways. Thanks again!
EDIT: Apparently idk how to remove covers. Somebody help! T^T

Please just read the rules again. There is a minimum word count you have to reach, don't enter if your story doesn't even fulfill the basic requirements.
Now everyone saw though?
Not to be mean, but try to be not so clumsy while attempting gray zone things.
Oh read it again, so like by the end of the 4 months it has to be 40,000 words, I can do that~
For the word count, I can since I was trying to stay at the 700-800 word count since somebody once told me that it’s best to stay at this range and to make ur story short, but if I rly get into the story, a chapter could be 1000 to 1,500 words each, and my story could reach 25-30 chapters~

Well first of all, how do you enter? You upload a story onto ScribbleHub. Then proceed to your story dashboard, upon scrolling to the bottom you'll find the contest section. Select the contest tag to enter the contest.
Here are the following themes! Remember you only have to use at least one and if you are the devil incarnate then you can attempt to combine them!
Non-mainstream weapons.
Duality of a secret life (The MC live a normal and a secret life)
Q: Is it fine to post the story elsewhere after the competition ends?
A: Yes, you can post the story anywhere after the contest has concluded. However, the story will be disqualified if the story is posted on other platforms before the conclusion of the contest.
Q: Can I use an alternate/spin-off/fanfic of an existing story?
A: No, you can not. It must be an original story with no link to an existing story/world.
Q: What if I’ve written a story that fits the requirement but never posted it before?
A: Since there’s no way for us to check when you wrote the story, as long as you’ve never posted it anywhere else before, it is perfectly fine to use it as a contest entry.
Q: Can I post the story on Patreon to earn money from it during the contest? (Advanced chapters)
A: You can use advanced chapters. However, your story will solely be judged based on what you’ve posted on ScribbleHub!
Q: Can we get badges/titles?
A: This is currently not an available mean of giving out prize.
Q: Is there a max word count and can I submit more than once?
A: There is no max word count and yes you can submit more than once.
Q: Who would own the copyright to the story?
A: You authors will retain all the right to the story.
Has to be an original story, exclusive to SH for the duration of the contest.
Series need to reach 40,000-word count by 11th of November (00:01 AM GMT+7).
Have not been posted before the 10th of July.
Must use at least one of the provided theme. (You must state the theme of your choice)
Do not use stolen artwork for your story cover. (You must state the source of your art in the synopsis) - If no source is stated, your story will be removed from the contest.
Using bots to increase your statistic will get you disqualified and blacklisted from future competitions.
No Plagiarism
Winner of this contest will not be awarded a prize for the next subsequent contest.
Winners of the Scribbly Anniversary v2 contest can still participate in this contest but won’t be given a prize.
Rules may be subject to change during the contest in the event of unforeseen attempts at manipulating it or circumventing the above rules.
More specific violations that attempt to undermine the spirit of the competition will be left to my discretion. For example, using a stolen cover for the duration of the contest as clickbait to gain more readers, and then switching to a non-stolen cover on the final day.

I was expecting that one of the staff would notice. None did so I am posting it here.
Novel name: I can create world.
It is third on the contest list. It was posted around 2019. Now the author had started to posting new chapter. It already had the old view number. Please check it out.

Thanks for letting me know, I typically check them midway of the competition or near the end. But if you spot anything else feel free to let me know, I appreciate the help.
I'm using a megaphone like tool, to boost one character's voice so he can more effectively use a soul technique witch convinces the victem that anything being said at that moment is true. Does that qualify?
