Writing Prompts Contest #28：Contractual Love

It is a common trope to have a man and woman develop romantic feelings for each other after being forced to be together through a contract.

The leads are usually at conflict with each other and loggerheads in the beginning, but due to a series of misunderstandings and experiences, they will discover the merits of each other and develop feelings for each other. When they no longer need to abide to the contract, they realize they can no longer leave each other. An example would be the Korean drama, Full House.

This is the classic romance story.

In recent years, romance stories have strong female leads taking the initiative to approach the male leads. The contract trope then stems from a past marriage or how the female lead needs money desperately. An example is Trial Marriage Husband: Need to Work Hard.

Regardless of the classic contract or the new styles, these romance stories are well-liked by readers. If you are interested in this genre, give a try at creating such stories!

Writing Prompts Contest #29：Esports

Esports stories are a type of video game story. These stories typically have the main character or his/her team playing a specific video game and fighting for glory.

Esports stories contain all the exciting factors of game stories, such as numerous abilities, magic spells, special equipment, wondrous tactics, amazing outplays, and so on. Esports stories also contain the core elements of sports stories, such as hard work, arduous practice, and competitive spirit.

Some common examples of games used in Esports stories would be Starcraft, League of Legends, Dota 2, CS: GO, and so on. MMORPG stories can also be used for esports stories, although the author will need to make more serious and detailed settings for the battles within.

Here are some examples of Esports stories:

    LuoYeYouLing delete and repost? Since its new

    @CKtalon is there an age limit for novels to be deleted and re-entered into writing prompts...? Like novels that are less than 1 month old can still be deleted and enter...?

        LuoYeYouLing
        Yeah that rule seems a bit arbitrary. But when you think of it, it's more logical that way.

        For old novels, the authors already has from a few to a few dozen chapters already written. They can slowly release chapters over the days, making the work show up more on "Latest update" section, and quickly gain views and (theoretically) votes. New novels don't have that luxury.

        Hence the restriction to new novels only. Authors start writing at the roughly same time (at least, if they all start writing from Friday), and it's more fair.

            Ierrech I see you around the forums a lot so I assume you know quite a bit about these novels. Would you mind quickly checking mine out and leaving a honest review on what I need to improve on? It doesn't have to be a 5 star review, just an honest one that shows how you feel about the story. Thanks!

                Here is my entry for Writing Prompts Contest #28：Contractual Love. Please give it a read and vote if you like it!
