SOMETHING SOMETHING CONTEST SOMETHING · 8:01pm Aug 30th, 2017
Hopefully that got your attention. Anyway, I have something of sorts to announce. If you like King Sombra, contests, Princess Luna, my writing, shipping, Lunbra, or anything remotely related to anything I just listed and why you're following me, please keep reading.
The new and not dead version of the Lunbra group has recently reached one hundred members! This is something that I could have never imagined when I founded it. A large chunk of the stories in here are really 2013-ish and were never finished. There aren't many people who regularly write this awesome, underrated-among-the-rare-pairs ship, and by 'not many' I mean that only the user known as Yoru-the-Rogue (who is a fantastic writer!) and I still write Lunbra pretty regularly. If you also write this regularly, and I didn't include you, I am sorry, it's too rare for me to tell, and I only stalk this site in full on Mondays or whenever.
Point is, there's a lack of this ship on the site, and writing is fun! If you've been looking for an excuse to write something more than a little unusual and work with a topic (Lunbra) that totally not commonplace (even in fan art D:) then what I have to say should interest you.
The sad part is, the rarity of this ship and low level of activity among the group's members means that I only have about six people (from that group) interested in the strong possibility of a contest. This is why this blog exists.
If you are interested, please say so in the comments. This is something I'd love to do, but unlike my writing, this isn't really a solo project. If you think you could write a story, act as a judge, contribute to a prize, or even get the word out to someone who might be interested that there is a WIP of a contest going on for Lunbra and all that, please, please let me know!
Thank you, if you've read this far.

If I were to touch this, which I'm considering, it would less romantic and more...
Ah screw it I'll just write it.

Well, there's gonna be a prompt, but I picked a flexible one. I don't have rules quite yet, but they won't be very restrictive. If you can't think of something, would you want to judge?
4653051
Sure! I'll still aim to enter unless it's completely against what I'm aiming to write, but if you need a judge and would like me to, I'm down for that.
4653064
I already have the prompt picked out, and tried to make sure it'll suit both drama and comedy - whatever's entered really! And thanks for the interest!
You had my attention at "SOMETHING"
Hmm, sounds interesting. I might just give it a try. One of my stories has slight Lunbra in the form of flashbacks, and you should check it out. Please read it I'm desperate.
I'm probably not the best writer but um,....I'd like to give it a shot.
And on an unrelated note, I always thought (until recently) that your avatar was a gender-swapped Sombra smoking something. Haha, I now see that that it is Pizza and magic aura.

Sombra is probably chill enough to take a joint with her pizza

Yeah I'm also more of an artist than a writer. MAybe we could offer free art as a prize to the winner or something?
4653398
That would actually be wonderful! Thank you so much for the generosity!
4653409
Sounds good! Some of us have been talking about this contest on discord and we were wondering: what kind of prompts were you thinking of for this? Every contest needs a good prompt, something snappy but thought provoking, evocative but deep!
4653282
Give me your honest opinion, your most likely the most experienced person to have read it, and I've been looking for feedback on my writing.
4653398
:O I like that idea. I'd be happy to do that :D
4653418
Umm, I was going to use a simple phrase one, like the twilestia contest. There's already one picked out, I just need to organize prizes and a rubric/criteria a bit more.
I'll be posting updates regularly, so expect blogs and PMs depending on your role in the contest. And thanks for talking about this!
4653421
Sure thing! Will be posting a comment when I'm done!
4653480
Thanks! Means a lot to me. ^^
4653490
It'll be long and detailed, yo.
I'm interested. I'd write if I can find the time
I'm interested. Always entertained the Idea of writing Lunabra, just never got around to it.

Thank you both for the interest!

*Glances up at bell* No way. Wow that was fast.
Also, No problem. Hope to see something come of this.
I'll think 'bout it.
4653579
Oh Lordy, this was certainly a surprise that I wasn't expecting to have at... *squints at clock*
Thank you for considering! There will be more up about this stuff soon!
If not for a story I read a while back where Sombra tortures and rapes both Celestia and Luna, I'd consider it, but that story fucked with something deep in me and totally made me not like Sombra at all, lol.
Maybe I'll gain the courage. Always wanted to try one of these crack-shipping contests.
Hmmmmmmmmmm.....
Probably.

Well... umm...
...Jesus.
I've always liked Sombra, and you can always write him how you want to.
I'm interested in trying to write a lunbra shipping story.
Well, considering I've written epic poetry with Lunbra elements, I am certainly interested in this, in the abstract anyhow.
I really don't know if I can commit, with the Embrax I'm currently writing plus my obligation to get TEFL edited. I'll keep an eye out for further announcements/reminders though and see if something might be made to work. *joins group*

(screams internally)
Thank you for commenting anyway! The blog will be up soon, and the deadlines/info with it. I already have judges picked out, but if you think there's another way you can contribute, and if you want to, please let me know! The contest post will be re-posted here in my blog too!
And be sure to add Melt in the group if you think it fits into a folder! :)

You mean I'd have to go up against
...Welp, I'm doomed to loose. Tis' inevitable.
I surrender ~
