The Yuri Garden Writing Competition (2019) (Now voting)

[Moonpearl]

(Submissions are closed and voting is open. If you'd like yuri and you'd like to vote, you can do so here: https://forum.novelupdates.com/posts/5118579/ )

I thought I'd mention this here, since there are more writers here and some members who aren't on NUF~!

The Yuri Garden (the gathering place for yuri fans on Scribble Hub's older sister site's forum) is currently holding its annual writing competition, which closes at the end of July. For prizes, there's forum money and advertisement: your story and any other yuri stories you write will be permanently linked to in the OP, and your author blog or profile will also be linked to, so people can try out your non-yuri stories.

Scribble Hub novels are shared and discussed in the Yuri Garden, so it might be a great way to interact with some of your fans. Or it can be an excellent way of challenging yourself by trying a new genre and getting some feedback on it.
We're actually still recommending last year's stories to new people, we liked them so much~!

If you'd like to try but feel a little overwhelmed tackling the yuri genre, we now have the Yuri Writing Help Room here on the Scribble Hub forums, where you can ask any questions you wish~!

Yuri in 1500-2500 words hmmm.

That's going to be a challenge.

You can get a surprising amount done with it, based on previous entries.

Hm... Is it worth linking last year's winners to give people examples of what they could do with the word count?

No it's ok. I got an idea in my mind already.


You might want to post examples anyways for others that might be interested. I'm sure they will need all the help they can get.

OP is now updated with the links to last year's winning entries and their word count~! As you can see, some truly wonderful pieces can be made with this word limit.

1 month?!

Wow, I was working on my frenetically only to give up when I realized that I was only halfway through it and already over 3k words and only a few hours from the deadline.

Must've horribly misread the due date. Looks like I'll have the time to shape my entry up then
