SinisterSmile winning is meaningless if you don't have quality, but if you are quite confident with your current quality, you can promote like on FB or ask all your friends to help! I asked my family and friends to vote hehe...

    SinisterSmile Hey shameless self promotion here, I would love it if you checked out my novel, it's just started but I think you might like it.

      SinisterSmile yeah... I had to write 17 chapters in 4 days to get 20k words to be on featured! Phew.

      But once you have written enough words and are confident in your writing quality, you can head over to the Inkstone Discord channel and ask the curator of Featured to consider your novel to be promoted/ featured

          no they don't. But it's weekend and the deadline is almost up.
          I suggest u check the TGIF thread for next week's prompt, and prepare for that one if you're interested.

              Nothing I can do about that. I'm just an author. It'd be up to Webnovel to determine if it's legit or not. I've heard that they've disqualified cheaters in the past, so if he really is cheating then I'd assume they'd do the same now. That's not up to me to decide nor determine though.

                It's weekend and the deadline for voting is almost up.
                If you love the topic then keep going.

                Otherwise I suggest you check the TGIF thread for next week's prompts, and prepare for the one you're interested in:
                Contractual Love
                Esport

                    ImBloo Wait then that sucks, they only voted for a week, so everyone only got a week to prepare and try their best? I was think that tomorrow is the last day to submit a novel and not the last day for voting

                        That's the way it works. Contests last one week. Most authors continue writing their stories even if they lose though. If it's updated daily then you'll likely appear in the daily updates section and get a following. Maybe the trending originals section eventually as well.

                            Legend of the Gunslinger Mage.
                            Chapter 13 is (partially) up
                            The morning after
                            We are back to Avestrue, picking up from that wonderful night in chapter 11. Is it gonna be awkward? Read and find out.

                              Synopsis
                              Leanne is a blind woman who is married to a guy who even though he loves her, he breaks her heart. She also has a twin sister, that her husband doesn't know about. She found about her sister when she went to another country for her eyes surgery. Her sister helped her fake her death after the surgery is over.

                                Funny thing though, only 3 people entered that contest. So my novel placed 3rd by default, Lol!

                                My 2nd novel which won 1st in a later contest had a lot of competition though =)

                                  Like Ierrech said, you technically have about 9.5 days to prepare, write and present your novel. From Friday of the previous week to the end of next week's Sunday.

                                  Also like he said, I had no idea the prompt was available on Friday. Only after being caught by surprise twice did I realize the prompt was in the TGIF thread, buried between a ton of announcements

                                  @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL, can I make a few suggestion?
                                  1. Make the writing prompt announcement stand out more. Probably make a separate, read-only thread and sticky it until the end of the week.
                                  2. Make it compulsory for participants to "check in" their novels in the Contest thread. This helps improve transparency and avoid cases like authors silently collecting votes from friends and whatnot, then coming out of nowhere at the end of the week to nab the prize.

                                      Hello guys and girls,
                                      I'm submitting my work for Writing Prompts Contests #26.
                                      This is my first time writing a novel so I would really appreciate if I could receive any feedback and reviews.
                                      I have put the link below for your convenience. Thank you in advance :)

                                      https://www.webnovel.com/book/12067120306858005

                                      Synopsis
                                      Heroes rise and fall, countless ages pass by. Gods and Demons have been fighting each other since the immemorial.

                                      100 years ago, due to the schemes of Demon Ancestor, First Realm War broke out. True God of the Gods Realm was forced to enter eternal slumber while True Devil perished. Human Realms Five Great Emperors joined forces to repel the demons.

                                      50 years ago, Human Great Empress Resha Valentine decided to cast Apocalypse Magic, Aetherion, to slaughter all the rebels in Black Snow Empire. She later stormed into the Demons Realm and managed to assassinate Demon Ancestor with the help of the Northern Land Demon Emperor, Beelzebub. This event concluded the Second Realm War.

                                      At present day, Erza Valentine, a girl raised in a preeminent clan, awakens her bloodline power and begins her practice as a Sword Mage. Carrying the destiny of an Empress, will she become a benevolent ruler, or will the world tremble in fear under her feet? The Three Realms welcome the rise of its Sovereign.

                                      After reading through hundreds of posts in this thread, I just realised I made a lot of mistakes in this contest.. I entered on the last day, and I didn't know it was based on vote from other accounts which raise a lot of questions on its credibility. I thought webnovel has a group of people who doing the review.

                                      Anyway, I know I won't be the winner and I'm just looking for people to review my first writing and tell me if I'm doing well or not. I will keep posting the new chapters before deciding whether to continue or give up.. it's a pity though as I really like my novel (even though it's just a hobby of mine in my spare time for now)

                                      Hey guys we've updated to chapter 6 so far. Quite a lot has happened so if you haven't yet I strongly suggest you check out my first novel:

                                      The Mage of the Millennium

                                      https://www.webnovel.com/book/12022477505776105

                                      We also have a discord where I will chat with readers and accept suggestions and advice for the novel. I will work with readers there and add things they want and make my story more interactive!

                                      At first this novel was just for fun, but now I want to do it not just for fun, but as something I really like to do now. Please give my novel a read. If you like it dump those power stones and reviews. If you don't like it please comment and review as to what the problems are so I can work to fix them!

                                      Shameless self promotion here, check out my novel, it takes an interesting turn on the whole idea of ultimate mage. I think my writing is good, no one has actually made fun of it yet :) so who knows. :) would love it if you guys dropped by, left a comment or two, maybe voted. I'm kinda at the low end of the spectrum for this contest, and though I don't expect on winning unless my friend manages to hack this website and funnel all the votes to me, who knows? Miracles could happen. He's working on it. Anyway, yeah prompt 26 probably. Novel is called "The Demon's Mage" you may need to type the apostrophe to find it :) Tysm to whoever stops by.

                                      Am ridiculously confused about the winners for #27. I shouldn't be complaining I am one of the winners and yes there were actually quite a number if people who wrote for this one. I checked them out but why did first place win first when it had a little under 4k views when my twisted love life had like 10k? 🤔🤔🤔 Will the one with the higher views get the contract?

                                        Blackvision
                                        Yeah it's not perfect. But then it's only supposed to give authors a very brief boost (if you win first place).
                                        If the work is good then it will become popular, even if it doesn't participate in any contest.
                                        Otherwise, even with the boost, readers will still leave if they don't find the work engaging.

                                        As for me I find the contest useful, as it gave me a lot of pressure. I had to come up with an interesting concept, write faster, promote my novel more effectively and engage with my readers more.

                                        To be honest the idea for my contest novel Gunslinger Mage (currently my main one) only popped up after I read the prompt and have a brief discussion with @Ierrech.

                                        Now I'm much happier than 2 weeks ago, and not because of the 200 SS :)

                                          Blackvision @ImBloo yeah... like I won but Bloo's novel has almost as many collections and views. And will soon overtake mine.
