WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I want to participate in the Cthulhu Mythos contest but afraid since my story is not purely base on horrifying/abnormal/ indescribable settings as you mentioned above. I want to use elements such as ancient Gods, demons and mythical beasts. Can I join?

      WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I want to use elements such as ancient Gods, demons and mythical beasts in my novel like Evil Emperors Wild Consort. So is it possible?

          WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL On the female CEO subject, does the main protagonist needs to be the female CEO or is it okay as long as there is a female CEO (which still is a major focus) on the story?

              A strange choice to have Cthulhu Mythos as a topic, especially since there are zero stories of that genre over here.

              CN style horror novels are few, but if anyone wants a reference for writing, well, Way of the Devil has a amazingly dark starter arc.

                Also if anyone can read Chinese, this would be a good Cthulhu style story: https://book.qidian.com/info/1004939100

                《杀神永生》- Kill God, Eternal Life

                I didn't really read it, but synopsis has English word 'SCP'. Yeah, the SCP of SCP Foundation!

                It has a decent rating and good amount of chapters (1k+), though the story is split in volumes) so it seems cool.

                You can try if you have time to spare.

                  There's no company in the ancient era, so contest #25 limited only on modern era?
                  Or could a woman who manages to get a position as sect leader to consider as CEO as well?

                    WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Are the results and rewards of the previous contest going to be given the next week? I participated in the Gene one and I think I might have made top 3. Please reply.
                    GENE Project: Road to Perfection is the name of the novel.

                        The post was updated... I got the rewards. Eagerly waiting to make front-page. More readers. Yuss!

                          Here's my entry for Writing Prompts Contest #24：Cthulhu Mythos
                          Awake in a Nightmare

                          Story Synopsis:
                          When the Demons first invaded in the year 1830, they brought terror and suffering to the world. However, through unifying against a common foe, the nations of the world fought back. On the front line of this war are individuals possessing supernatural powers known as Gifts.
                          James Hatathli is one such individual. Gifted with the power of incredible memory and learning. He has completed his yearlong training in the Coalition of Humanity's Academy and now begins an apprenticeship, far away from his native home of California. His first mission will take him into the depths of madness. Where the nightmares do not end when one awakens.

                          Author Notes:
                          Writing Prompts Contest #24：Cthulhu Mythos. This is set in the same world as my previous short story; The Demon’s Clockwork Heart. Although it’s not necessary to read the previous story, it will make this story more interesting if one does so (the MC of this story had a cameo in The Demon's Clockwork Heart). I also plan to make more short stories in this world for future writing contests when possible.
