Hey everyone!

The staff is happy to be launching our annual Spring Contest. This year, things're a little bit different, so please read this thread carefully.

There are two parts to this contest and you can participate in both or only one. The categories will both have different themes that will need to be present in your writing in some form. You can interpret them in any way you wish.

---

Our first theme is for the Warriors universe and it can take place in the Main Roleplay or the Alternative Warriors Roleplay.

It holds the themes of New-leaf and Loss.

---

Our second theme is for humans or humanoid beings. It can be characters from our Non-Warriors Roleplay or be made up on the spot.

For this category, you must use the below phrase somewhere in your writing entry.

The spring seemed to last forever.

---

When you have completed your piece, you can submit it via PM in a Google Docs to me or submit it to WCOUnited (https://wcounited.deviantart.com) in the Literature folder. In the submission name, please include Spring Contest in the title.

Prizes for first place winners will be a choice between the Power, Resurrection, and Reincarnation card and 5,000 Koins.

Second place winners will receive the choice between the Resurrection and Reincarnation card and 2,500 Koins.

Third place winners will receive 1,000 Koins.

Participants who don't place will receive 500 Koins.

---

The deadline for both categories will be April 30th, 2018, @ 11:59 Eastern Time.

Can we just submit the story through PM without google docs? Like just send it in text as it is?
Because I don't have access to google docs or Deviant Art...or any other messaging site for that matter...

Or can someone else submit it on behalf of me? Like submit my story with their DA account?

To answer a few questions ...

There is no word limit, but try to keep it under ten pages.

If you can't use Google Docs or DeviantArt, you can just submit it via PM. There is a character limit for each message however, so you'll need to send multiple messages for your entire entry to go through.

You can submit multiple entries if you wish.

Characters can either be from WCO or made up.

Private message me your entries if you're unable to use DeviantArt. I would prefer if it's in a Google Document, however you can just send the plain text. (With a reminder the PM character limit is 5000, so you'll probably need to send multiple.)

The deadline is at the bottom of the original post.

I found you, my missing piece.
I looked around not knowing what I'm looking for.
But now I look into your blue eyes, drowning in your gaze
as I sit next to you, forever content.

REMINDER FOR THOSE PARTICIPATING

Submit your applications in WCOUnited's Literature folder with "Spring Contest Entry" in the title or in a private message to me.

Private messages can include a link to a google document, pastebin, or plain text. The message character limit is 5,000 characters so you may need to send multiple messages.

You may send in submissions for both of the themes.

The deadline for submissions is April 30th, 2018 @ 11:59 PM Eastern Time. I will not be accepting late entries.
