CRITIQUE SYESTEM/ENGINE

Perhaps we can hold a critique system. We can do points ( aHeM, we can call them by a different name, like Syllable?). let me elaborate.
For completing QoTD, MWD, winning annual competitions et cetera, et cetera. you (they) earn Syllables (points or whatever names you prefer) and once they a reach a certain amount of syllables, for example, 200, they can get a simple critique from the criticizers. We can create a Committee of Criticizers as well. For qualifying criticizers the managers can see a sample of their critiques qualify them if they're eligible. the number of syllables define what kind of critique we get. Like 200 Sylllables, can get a rough critique up to 400 words. 1500 syllables can get a detailed line by line critique up to +5000 words. (These are only examples). There can be different types of critique acquired by points and limited by words.

Demonstration

+100 Syllables = rough critique = upto +250 words

+200 Syllables = rough critique = upto +500 words

+500 Syllables = moderate critique = upto +500 words

+700 Syllables = moderate critique = upto +1000 words

+800 Syllables = nit picky & grammar critique = upto +500 words

+900 Syllables = nit picky & grammar critique = upto +1000 words

+1000 Syllables = detailed critique = upto +500 words

+1200 Syllables = detailed critique = upto +700 words

+1500 Syllables = detailed critique = upto +1000 words

+1700 Syllables = line by line critique = upto +500 words


If you want I can continue.

4th wall is the wall between the characters and the readers, sort of. I can't think of an example rn but ill see if i can later.

Just a suggestion! I'd be happy with any form of contest though :-)

This is present in the manager forum too. Putting it here to see how our studio members will react to the idea!

Specific contests are also cool, but fairly common, too. Maybe there's a way to spice things up a bit? (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧(by Jori)

I have some competition ideas!

• 1.Groups will be made with the same number of people in both groups. The groups will choose a leader each who will speak on behalf of the whole group. Now, the groups will be giving each other a protagonist, antagonist, setting, basic plotline, a twist in the story, characteristics and any other stuff they want.
  
  Remember that these can be as absurd as they wish or as unrelated as they wish to mess with the other groups' head!
  
  Now, they'll be given 2 weeks minimum each to create a short story {which can be animated} and then the judges can choose the winner! The losers will have a punishment.

• I love this idea, and I think this topic should resurface. Splitting into groups is also a good idea, too. We could use these groups for other activites tpp!

Hi! I think it would be a cool idea if every month there was a writing competition! It would be optional, of course, but each month there would be a theme, and in January, one of the managers plans them out! For example:

January: Mystery
February: Fanfiction
March: Second person POV
April: Poem
May: Alien life on Mars
June: Diary's POV
July: What would happen if Great Britain won the Revolutionary War
August: First Day of school
September: Adventure story
October: Spooky
November: Historical Fiction
December: Life as an elf on the North Pole

Sounds cool! Though the managers and the committee seem to think that it would too hard to effectively organise monthly competitions — and though smaller ones could work, what purpose would they serve?

Anyway, I love the idea, and I can’t wait to see what other people think.

There would be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners each month. The prizes would be things like
5 loves and favs on your story that won or have your story featured in the studio until the next competition winners are out. At the beginning of the month, the prompt would be revealed. In the middle of the month, you stop taking stories and have some writers that didn't enter judge them. At the end of the month, the winners would be revealed and the prizes would be given. Then the cycle starts all over again.I hope you like my idea

writing tip - if you can't think of an idea, take a cliché and twist it. for example, the princess held captured by a villain trope, maybe the princess is holding the ‘villain’ captive instead?
