    Looking for a regular editor/prereader

    Now that I'm writing again, I thought it would be nice to do something more than post my docs drafts in various Discords begging passers-by to preread at the last minute. Would any of you be interested in editing/prereading for me on a regular basis, or know someone who might be? I would gladly return the favor if you are a writer as well!

Late Announcing: Flash Sentry Contest: 2022 Dec 18 - 2023 Jan 29 · 6:48am Jan 16th, 2023

i usually post these on my blog at the same time as i post the forum thread about it, whoops! at the time i launched the contest i was very all over the place with fandom stuff, sorry about that. so if you haven't seen the forum post, this is me telling you about this contest! if you already have, this is my reminder to you that there are just under two weeks left for entries!

reproduced from the forum post below:


it's ya boy, Flash Sentry!

so like, i really hated the first Equestria Girls movie for so many reasons, and one of the biggest was the forced romance between Princess Twilight Sparkle, working librarian and savior of the world many times over, and a... high school boy?

but it's not his fault that the movie he was introduced in was so badly written! in fact, he never did anything wrong in his life! and it took the works of some great Flash Sentry writers to get me to see that there are so many more possibilities for his character than the one-note role that he was introduced with, and to love him for it.

and one of those authors, daOtterGuy, has graciously agreed to judge a contest all about the precious blue-haired boy!

details!

the contest can be of any genre, as long as the story is E or T-rated and has Flash Sentry (pony or human) as a central character.

the contest ends on 2023 Jan 29 8PM ET. entries should be complete and placed in the contest folder before then. if you're running close, make sure to PM me the final text of your story before the deadline in case anything happens with the queue. no exceptions!

the judges will be daOtterGuy and myself.

the prize pool will be at least $80 in total, with distribution to depend on the stories. more and better stories will result in more placements and money in the prize pool.

all prizes will be sent by Paypal. if you do not want to or cannot accept a cash prize, we may come to an agreement on donating it to a charity, or a commission.

the winning spots will include at least one shorter and/or at least one "lighter/fluffier" entry, if applicable.

you can write as many entries as you want, with a total limit of 15kw.

good luck!

a few more Flash Sentry pics because why not


he has a dog? what???

join the server to talk about this and other contests, and writing, and such!
