Contest Stories

Professor Edward Keane has spent his life teaching literature at Havenbrook University. When his student, Tiana Henderson, asks him to review her mystery manuscript, he agrees without hesitation. As Edward reads through the draft, certain details begin to feel uncomfortably familiar, blurring the line between imagination and reality.

Tagfest||| Open for submissions|| Judgin || Closed| 🐸| Welcome to the Leap Frog Spring Awards! Spring is finally here and with it comes a fresh start..... and what better way to celebrate than by sharing and recognizing amazing stories?

To keep myself from losing track of: all the 2025 contests I've entered, all the 2025 contests I've volunteered myself as a judge (or let myself be volun-told into judging), all the 2025 books I've had to read as a contestant or as a judge, all the 2025 deadlines, and all the other important stuff, here is a book that registers all these 2025 things in a somewhat organized fashion. With occasional commentary. Nota bene: Although other people are welcome to browse my public contest logs and look for contests, look for information about details of contests (i.e. you want me to pour you some tea), etc, these contest logs are primarily for my own use. I enter so many contests that I can't keep track of them without a log. I forget important details, too, including things like "Note to self: You do not get along with this contest host, best not participate in their contests." Like my 2024 contest log, this was never meant to be an "expose" book. I'm not exposing anybody. Contests are matters of public record, as are any comments made in the contest books. I'm just a ditz who needs a written log to keep track of everything. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my shoulders.

Wouldn't you love to have an experienced writer spend 6 weeks helping you improve your storytelling? This book will show you how to do that. I'm Dawn, and I'm a Boot Camp Mentor.

Read on to learn more about me, my mentoring style, and what this awesome community can do for you as a writer.

Y/n is a singer that finds herself sending a song to the most influential Italian Song Contest: Sanremo's Festival. She doesn't believe she'll become a participant, but still, in hopes she will, she decides to text her favorite singer, and ask if they could duet during Sanremo's Festival's fourth night: the covers' one. Will he answer? And most importantly: does she even stand a chance of participating? //// The English dialogue is going to be written using the standard font, the ones in Italian are going to be in Italic (ironically) Enjoy it <3

ONC Prompt 5 My cat likes leaving the house every morning at the same time. When this little habit of his causes me to burn my breakfast, I use his tracking collar to follow him on a whim, while searching for a decent cafe. My mind and body start to warp, as I find him and some other neighborhood cats at the back of an alley, in a small patch of grass, meowing in symphony. When I wake up from what I thought was a massive hangover, I find I am actually in what turns out to be my cats secret home world. Filled with magic instead of milk bowls. Lances instead of litterboxes. Monsters rather than meow-mix. What I thought would be another day at work, turns out to be a fight against evil that our cat friends have secretly been waging for centuries. (This is a bit of a tribute story to my cat who went out one day and never came home)
