The Result of WPC#22 & #23

This week’s writing prompts will have two main topics.

Writing Prompts Contest #24：Cthulhu Mythos

Writing Prompts Contest #25：Female CEO

You’re more than welcome to join either one~

Writing Prompts Contest #24：Cthulhu Mythos

The Cthulhu Mythos refers to a world setting that's typically horrifying, abnormal, and indescribable. In such a world, Gods and ancient existences rule the universe, while humans are nothing more than ants in a tiny corner of the universe. Strange whispers can be heard everywhere, your neighbor is insane, while there are mysterious and terrifying creatures in the deep ocean... There are many elements suitable for Cthulhu Mythos stories. If you have any understanding of this genre, then please feel free to write a story and participate in this writing prompt.

Also, we'd like to welcome all stories with Cthulhu elements, not necessarily just the ones with abnormal and horrifying atmospheres. Such elements can be an excellent spice to add to your story.

Writing Prompts Contest #25：Female CEO

If a selection of the most popular occupation that male leads have in romance novels is made, being a CEO will definitely be in the top three.

Everyone has seen CEO male leads, but female leads who are CEOs are relatively rare. However, it is precisely female CEOs that have a lot of potential.

According to a recent survey, the ideal occupation of young women in China isn't being a homemaker, actress or model, but a CEO of a listed company. By becoming a female CEO, it not only indicates financial independence allowing them to go on shopping sprees, but it also means the female CEO can make her own decisions in life.

A female CEO can be in love with an excellent man on equal terms without worry. She would not need to compromise as a result of being in an inferior position. A female CEO has 100% control over her own marriage. If she doesn't want to get married, she can ignore dating. If she's lonely, she can consider rearing an obedient young man…

Female CEOs might be the next blockbuster for romance novels. We hope you can gain this first mover advantage!

    Hallo guys i am start writinf my own novel yesterday here is the title "Liberator" and here is the synopsis

    Synopsis
    Human is threatened with extinction because of the monster. This incident happened 150 years ago.

    There was a crack in the sky, the monsters began to emerge from the crack and destroyed everything they passed.

    The incident is like hell on earth where humans are eaten by monsters without being able to resist.

    Humans began to join and look for ways to fight the monsters. After doing research and testing many times humans finally find ways to fight monsters, by making a weapon from the parts of the monster body itself. By finding ways to fight, humans start fighting monsters for years without end.

    After fighting for years, humans began to build a place where they could live and expand safe areas. This place is called the "Last Fortress" or known as Liberty. i wish you like my wiriting. for now there is only 3 chapter.

      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

                              alernatetext

                              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.

                                Well, the closes cthulu ish novel I know is dark hierophant saga on Royal road. I'm interested what will be cookednroght here

                                So I saw that there's no racial discrimination accepted. But a lot of translated novels on the site have that, so why can't we have it on the appropriate setting, [unknown]

                                  https://www.webnovel.com/book/11961719505666105/
                                  Here is my entry for the female CEO prompt.
                                  Synopsis
                                  Mu Rong Mei is a very beautiful 21 years old girl.

                                  Despite her young age, she already became one of the top successful CEO that idolized by many peoples.

                                  Popular and rich, there is nothing lack in Mu Rong Mei's life.

                                  However, her life completely changed when she helped the critically injured man that passed out in front of her apartment.

                                  "Beautiful miss, you already saved my life... I will devote my entire life to you! Let's fought against the evil together" The man wore a silver armor kneeling in front of Mu Rong Mei.

                                    In real life if you helped a random injured stranger, more than likely, they would turn out to be a gangster or a druggie.
                                    I fondly remember the times I wasn't jaded enough to think of Santa as a cat burglar.

                                    Also, WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL is the feature on the front page for half of the week?

                                        Chapter two of Awake-in-a-Nightmare is now up.
                                        There is adult sexual content. So if readers wish me to post an edited version, please tell me so. I can post them, one after the other, with a warning or something. Although in my opinion the sexual content isn't graphic nor excessive but I also know some people are offended by such.

                                        Here is my entry for the female CEO prompt.
                                        Synopsis
                                        Mu Rong Mei is a very beautiful 21 years old girl.

                                        Repost it the link does not work before _

                                          SweetsTomato that's an interesting twist to Female CEO's. For it to be more valid (if you'r3 worried), you could just make it a cultivation world in a modern setting?

                                              As everyone was also doing their things, why can't I?

                                              I Am a Traveler

                                              A crossover of many stories. The story was basically designed for all purposes integration. Most types and kinds of genre could be allocated into the story.

                                              From being ordinary person he directly jumped to become an OP protagonist. However, it was only just a beginning of his journey. The power he wielded is nothing compared to the absolute. Watch his journey of traversing worlds, dimensions, universes and multiverses, as either parallel or not.

                                              The power of qi energy, life force, spiritual power, soul, heart, and many other more. Even his cultivation was lower than someone; he who had experienced and tasted all kinds of powers in every worlds, had the advantage of techniques and styles.

                                                Here is my entry for prompt #25, Female CEO. Please give it a read! :D

                                                Synopsis:

                                                After business magnate Ai Wen dies in a tragic accident, his sister Ai Jing takes over his role as President and CEO of Edelweiss Limited, one of the country's eight "Grand Dragon" companies. Unfortunately, she isn't up to the task, and things take a turn for the worse under her leadership. As profits slump, she is betrayed by the Vice President, her brother's former confidant, and she is expelled from her position.

                                                Dismayed and confused, Ai Jing feels like she has nowhere left to go.

                                                But little did she know…

                                                Someone was keeping an eye on her – Gao Ming, the Chairman of Starview Holdings International… and her brother's greatest rival.

                                                    The chapter focuses on world building. It revisits and expands on the key realities presented in my previous short story; The Demon's Clockwork Heart.

                                                      Creatures greater and more powerful exist beyond our abilities to comprehend. They can create galaxies with a step, move mountains with a wave of their hand, and destroy civilizations with a mere thought.

                                                      Ogdurr is one of these creatures, but was banished from his home and weakened while getting away.

                                                      That fight caused Ogdurr's being to be split among the world that Amaranth Nox lived in.

                                                      While Amaranth sat in his garden, he met this primordial being who gave him an offer he couldn't refuse.
