@WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL How can people vote with power stones when there are no chapter published and only with auxiliary content.
Then how do you calculate the winner of the first round if some people already have the chapters published???
Just some general Questions?
TheSuperhero
Thank you so much for the info and for quick reply :D
TheSuperhero @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL +1 this is also my main concern, do we follow the installments' schedule or is it better to release chapter regularly even before the next installments?
Helllooo peeps!! My entry to the Phenomenal Author Evolution Writing Contest Female Lead:
https://www.webnovel.com/book/12533527505793005
Please do check my novel and support this first time writer -
victorreoli Honestly since there are no rules for this, you can go either way. Probably the Webnovel team didn't expect people to be in such a hurry, which will leave them in an impossible situation - either punish the people that went ahead and published early by not including them in round 1, or include them and indirectly punish the people that didn't publish in round 1.
It's a bit of a fickle choice, but since every round has both a popularity vote and an editor's choice, I'm sure if you work hard you'll have a good shot at one or the other :) Personally I thought that this round was all about convincing the editors and readers with your idea through Volume 0 and nothing else. If somebody does feel like writing, they can just store it for now, as the next 3 parts require 20 chapters anyway, so timing yourself is a good thing.
@WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL , my first question is how will you handle works that are reused and/or fan fiction or taking a ready-made world and using it?
A few of the novels are old novels that were created anew just so the authors could enter the contest. While I see nothing wrong with that if there are under 5 chapters, what about people that may have written up to 20+ chapters? A bit unfair for them to have an equal shot at winning a contest when they're already done with most of the work, no matter the quality :(
Same goes for fan fiction - will it be considered plagiarism if one of the novels in the contest uses another author's world/setting or just copies from here and there and markets itself as fan fiction? I see this as slightly unfair to everyone that goes to the trouble of creating his or her own world and setting, so I'd like to see it addressed in some way in case somebody does do it.
Third question - Are you going to be checking the covers? Some people's covers might be directly borrowed art that does not give credit, was not paid for, etc, so I'd be interested on your stance on that matter. For instance, my cover is basically a simple edit of 2 separate photos that are given out from a website that allows its photographs to be used for anything, free of charge, no requirement for any credit.
Fourth question - How will you combat any writers that might have numerous accounts? I know this isn't typical, but it isn't that hard to realistically hide your IP through onion routing or a VPN, hence it's easy for people to create numerous accounts and spend their red stones on their own novel, thus in effect cheating. Are there safeguards to prevent such an event?
Hey guys! Just published a prologue for the story I entered!
Title: D466ER
Sypnosis:
Dade Anlace, a son of an infamous hacker centers his life around the art of hacking. Due to the imprisonment of his father and her mother being long dead, he is forced to live alone as he starts a new semester on his third year in college.
In the midst of all his mischievous deeds inside and outside the campus, a new detective club has been established in the university.
Will the student detectives stop "The Virtual Dagger"? Or will the emergence of another mysterious hacker stop his reign?
Cover:
Hope you guys read it!~
sacrificialsword kYAH FINALLY!!!!
ASlyDrake well put, hope they address this matter soon
Reinesse ohh okay thanks! :D
Do we need to post a chapter first or what?
FightReady2 i'm not familiar with spin-off...will it be counted as another novel? i think if the spin-off is only 1-3 chapters, i will make it into extra...
Hello,
this is my first ever novel so please be kind _;;
Transmigration with No Cheat Code
This fifteen years old student suddenly found himself in the middle of ancient Chinese role play.
WAIT! This is not role play! And this is not 21st century!
Who are these people?! Where is he?!
In this kind of situation, wasn’t there usually a system or cheat code to help?! What to do? What to do?!! Don’t know anything about ancient Chinese a~~ >.<
Look how this student revealed the mystery in this world without revealing his secret (more or less)
Genre: Xianxia, mystery, transmigration
Author’s note:
- Since this is my first novel with narrow deadline, I post my first draft first…some minor changes will be added later (mostly grammar or typo).
- I am still undecided whether I should make it with shonen-ai genre or not. Just prepare yourself if I make it into shonen-ai.
review and advice are most welcome.
thank you for your time.
kumihovixen sorry. Was referring to how some stories will continue but only be retold from a different point of view. Or a persons personal epilogue
While I’m on here, I’m going to advertise my novel entry.

Oops, my phone was bad
Hello, I'd like to share the story I have decided to write for this contest.
Serendipity: A Meeting Written In The Stars
Erin Blair is the owner of The Orchid, a woman who leads a simple but enjoyable life, and someone that people are often envious of.
Luca Edwards is the ideal woman but also a stealer of people's hearts, someone who does it for a living, with not a care to the consequences she causes.
The way of life they live differ vastly, yet they both hold love in scepticism. If these two ever meet, what story would unfold?
Yes, this will be a story focused on the romance between two women. There will also be some rather mature themes (nothing X-rated though!).
If you're interested, I'd appreciate if you gave it a little look!
Hello Everyone!
This is my first time entering any writing contest, so please be nice :P but at the same time be honest with me about my novel and any errors or criticisms that you may have.
The novel I am entering is titled: Chantless
Its a novel about a girl waking up in a magical forest in another world. There are some twist to the story that I hope will make sense in time.
Thanks!
PS: I've posted the summary down below.
Summary:
Waking up in a magical forest with a new set of cloths and magic to boot, what would you do?

Encountering the ecosystem of this magical forest and how magic interacts with the world around her, watch as our female lead learns to enjoy all this new world can offer.
