for prompt #61 The Butterfly's Return
Ex-swimmer Kim Yunjae would like nothing better than to keep her past where they belonged: behind her.
Joining the corporate world after two years of hiatus from life, she was looking forward to create a new start where no one would know who she used to be - or so she thought. Becoming the secretary of the youngest executive, she found herself staring at the same broad back she used to stare at years ago, the magnificent butterfly in the blueness of the water.
Writing Prompts Contest 62：Become a tree
In a fantastic world, some powerful shamans reached the limits of the human body and found a method to reach immortality.
But this experiment didn't work well for all of them and Marwa opened his eyes later as an apple tree

https://www.webnovel.com/book/13370209105580605
Altair Maxwell was recently appointed the leader of the Demi-Human Survival Coalition. Unfortunately, she ran into an ambush that very week.
Walking into a horrible trap planted by her supposed allies, Altair found herself left with no option but to use her Teleportation Magic in a risky gamble or end up in a situation she found worse than death.
The place she came to was filled with colossal giants of metal that could completely destroy armies with a single swing of their weapons, flying creatures capable of leaving the world, and... the Gods that the Humans killed the Demi-Humans to see.
I am promoting my own story

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I'm curious why did yall change the writing contest date length? Also should we write the name based on our familiar culture instead of Asian, Korean etc.?
Lonely_sparrow Probably because one week is too short to write a story that progresses deep enough; not to mention, not everyone can update daily, so 10k words rule might be harder to reach for some.
Also, what do you mean familiar language rather than Asian, Korean, etc? As far as I know, it should be in English as this isn’t a Filipino writing promot this time, but I could be wrong, and it could be any language. At the very least, it doesn’t have to be in an Asian language.
Chryiss it was saying something about pinyin names. No I believe the date used to be longer
My story for WPC #62
The One Who Was Reborn Into An Ash Tree
{shortened synopsis} By the junction at the main road, opposite the boardwalk from the city park, stands an Ash tree.
At first glance there is nothing significant about the tree, however there are rumours that if one was to wish on the tree for success, they were almost guaranteed it.
While the rumours are baseless and untrue, the tree is magical for two reasons.
One, it can read your mind. Two, it used to be human.
Basically (because I’m bad with synopsis writing) it is about an Ash tree that knows it used to be a human but has no memories about their past life or why they became like this. It also possesses the power to read minds and so spends its days observing humans. The story follows what they see as a tree, obviously getting into their past life in a (hopefully) unique-ish way.
It’s my first ever entry to WPC so please read and give feedback on how I can improve my writing. Thanks :)
Lonely_sparrow Ah, maybe it was about how having asian characters can lock novels sometimes?
Oh really? I’ve only been here a little less than three months, but the first contest I joined was one week, and then they made it 14 days ever since the first Filipino writing prompt. How long have you seen it?
Can I use more than one main topics in my novel.
Warriorprincess200 You mean from both contest prompts? Technically yes, but you can only enter that story into one prompt, not both.
Sorry, I have a complaint to make... or a suggestion to make.
I am dead tired of starting to read original novels that soon get dropped. Many of them created because of this wonderfull writing prompts contest. It is frustrating to the extreme.
I get is important to incentivate writers and there is many good original novels. But it's getting to a polluting point where there is a lot of unofficially dropped novels laying around.
Can you please do something about it? Like maybe stoping users with too many unfinished novels of participating or blovking writers who drop novels from keep writing?
Sorry, I may be part of a minority, but starting on a new novel and spectate new chaps for weeks, than a month and so on just to find is was created for the contest and than dropped is... sad at least... u.u

Nizze I understand your gripe. I feel like a lot of the novels that don’t win in the top three at least are dropped. However, rather than being an issue with the writing prompts themselves, it’s the very fact that they’re writers which is the issue.
For example, I entered a Mage contest because it matched with a story I was already creating and hadn’t uploaded to Webnovel. Unfortunately, because I was new, I didn’t know about the 10k words or how to properly promote it. Iirc the list of ten wasn’t even filled up, so yeah I didn’t make that 10k req. The only reason why I continue writing this story is because I already planned it all out from start to finish and want to write a book professionally—with or without Webnovel.
As for the second contest, which is this current tree one. I just wrote it for kicks because the prompt was funny. I’ll be upfront, I don’t plan to continue writing this story after the contest end if it doesn’t receive a good response.
But that’s because I have a life outside writing, and there’s no point to continue with something that no one reads or likes much, and I’m not all that attached with. I’m sure that other writers would feel the same about continuing to write a story that gets little response even though they put effort and time into it. Writers need support after all. We’re not free story making machines.
As for the first story, it’s my baby, so I don’t really care if I don’t get a huge response. I write that story not to just write, but because I want to share my story regardless if it’s just one person or a thousand reading.
Anyway, that’s my two cents on the issue. (And this isn’t limited to just Webnovel but all writing platforms.)

Writing Prompts #61
Hello! I will now shamelessly promote my story here, haha!
Title: “Stuck in a Novel: A Game of Love and Fate”
Synopsis: Ysara Leonor’s life could be perfectly described by the words similar to ordinary, normal, and simple. But that life of hers turned upside down when she finds herself stuck in the famous novel of Laro ng Tadhana (A Game of Destiny), a book written by her deceased grandmother.
And the only way to escape is to finish the story of the novel. But there’s a catch: she has to make the villainess of the story the one who gets the happily ever after.
