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

Writing Prompts Contest #39：Historical Romance

Writing Prompts Contest #40：My Planet

Writing Prompts Contest #39：Historical Romance

There are many stories in the historical romance genre which are well-received on Webnovel.

A month ago, most of the books on Webnovel had an eastern history background. This is maybe a result of having Webnovel's first historical romance books translated from Chinese. However, we have recently welcomed many well-liked works from Wattpad. A number of them are historical romance stories set in a western background. We discovered that historical romance with western backgrounds are more well-received by readers.

We believe it has to do with western history being more easily comprehensivle to most readers (a large number of Webnovel readers find western historical settings more understandable due to their nationalities, i.e., being more attuned with western history and culture). For new writers, using a historical background you are more familiar with would make it easier for your story's logic to be more complete. It will also resonate more easily with yourself. This will not only make you happier and have an easier time writing, but it can also spread your country's history and culture. As such, we encourage everyone to create a historical romance story with your own country's history as the setting.

You can use the following works as reference:

Valerian Empire (Western)
The Rise of Phoenixes (Eastern)
Heidi and the Lord (Western)

Writing Prompts Contest #40：My Planet

The inspiration for this writing prompt stems from a story that is currently paused: My Mini Planet. Having a personal planet and being able to explore or build on it as one pleases is something filled with fun. It's just like a child building a sand castle on a beach - it requires plenty of curiosity, patience, and imagination.

Think about it - an ordinary main character who's busy with their studies and life now suddenly possesses a planet of thier own - this planet might exist within their personal pocket dimension, or within another timeline, or within reality. It can be any type of special creation that you imagine. Now then, how will the main character treat this gift from heaven? Now, use your imagination to write it down in a story!

Phenomenal Author Evolution Writing Contest

    I can only do a 1000-1500 word hap in two hours...I'm much too slow... I'm interested in the own planet one, but too much work... and I don't know enough about history...
    I wonder if there'll be any prompts during winterbreak...

      WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Are these open to all? Or only new writers can join? I'm not a new author anymore, I already have two novels here. One completed, one still ongoing. I'm talking about the Phenomenal Author Evolution Writing Contest.

          We are not going to do anything with it when I get home from
          If not I can try to get home from school with her on Friday night and Saturday night and I will be there at the same time I don't have a car

            SYNOPSIS:

            In a world where gods and goddesses hold absolute dominion, where their words were the final law as long as they were "ascendant" over the territories that called them into being, Diwa Napili was born an abomination, an anomaly, and an outcast.

            The first was because she was born a twin. The second was because she survived her birth when her sister did not. And the third... the third was because such a thing had never happened before. Twins are born either both alive or both dead -- there was no middle ground. What caused Diwa and her twin to be different? More importantly, what effect does it have to the world that fears and shuns her?

            FULL DISCLOSURE: The first several chapters are already written. The result of this contest would determine the rate at which I could continue writing the rest of the story. In case you want that rate to be "fast," please help me win, dear reader! :grin: <-- shameless mode ON

            P.S. I am Filipino (we just won Miss Universe and we won't apologize for being happy about it!)
            Atin 'to, guys. :heart:

              Good evening, I would like to ask if we have to write our first novel in English. Maybe it sounds like a silly question but it's relevant to author whose English is not their mother tongue.
              I could try to translate from my own language (or I could even try to write directly in English), but it goes without saying that I would spend to much effort and time.
              Is it possible to write in Italian?
              If not, it's OK. I'm just asking out of curiosity. Thanks for your patience.

                  This would have been great to enter, but I'm already underway in this category. The genre sounds like it's popular, which is good.

                  My entry for the My Planet prompt. Taking a little different approach here, using an urban fantasy setting where magic and sorcerers all live in the modern world in secrecy. In that world, the MC is an assassin that hunts sorcerers that break laws, and he has the unique power of having his own personal planet within him which he can take things in and out from. With it, he will have to face magics from various different cultures ranging from demons to qi cultivators and witches.
