Welcome to The Horror Closet's first, exclusive writing competition: Writers Unleashed™. We’ve been planning this for a long time and we believe we are now finally at a place where we can host it properly!


Posted Image
In this competition you will be up against both the experienced & beginner creative writers of this forum, week after week, as you complete the challenges and are scored and ranked by the judges (TheCheetahwings and GhettoSpiritMedium) and the final judge and host, (SnazzyShadeEmily).The last writer standing, is the winner. We hope you choose to sign up for Writers Unleashed™ today,and join us for this competition, and to grow as a writer. You don't need to have any experience at all to atleast try, so we hope anyone with atleast a smidge of interest gives it a shot. The challenges will be posted weekly. Round 1 comes this Friday Night, due Thursday, December 10th at 12/11C. Most rounds will be posted Saturday but since it's Round 1, you get an extra day. Use it wisely. Results come every Saturday night starting at 6/5C and running two hours. I'll post the next round shortly after. The round themes will not specify a genre, so feel free to do whichever you want as they will all be graded fairly using the same basic scale. When your entry is complete, PM it to Me/SnazzyShadeEmily, and I'll send it to the others once the deadline has been reached. I hope you all consider joining! Also, please make entries an original work unless stated within the challenge post.

Omfg rifp. Your entries are always so wild or dramatic and I'm never ready for it. The whole way you used the title was just INSANE and completely original so A+ on that front. Ngl, kinda like with your other two entries because I'm a mess, I got a bit confused at times about what on earth was going on because it was so crazy until I reread. Also as always your dialogue is very witty and sharp and I love it. I don't think this is my favorite entry from you, but it was still FANTASTIC.


Kevin
This was a fun entry. I think the way you used the title was a bit on the predictable side, but honestly the name is so basic it seems like it'd be hard to come up with an original concept for this title. I also think you could've paced it almost a bit slower, it kinda just felt like it was going full speed and then just ended to me. I also think you could've slowed down on the source material references just a tiiiiiny bit. This was far from your best entry, although I don't know if I'd quite say it was your worst. I do hope tho that in the next rounds you give me another of your much wilder entries.


Matt
This is such a mess? Like... The writing was easily your best out of all your entries! Same with the story!! But... I really don't see how this fit the challenge at all? I don't see where the title 'fifty shades of grey' fit??? If you can explain to me how maybe I can edit the score but???? And im sorry to say, but that has BEYOND lowered your score for this. But other then that as I said, your story, writing, and dialogue was easily the best you've done! I love how much more effort you seemed to have put into everything here. This really couldve been your best score wise, just.... As I said, it just didn't fit this challenge in the slightest, and it has really torn this entry down.


Chris
This wasn't your best, but it was still a LOT of fun. The humor was good for the most part, altho Alec pointed out one thing over text I really agree with... This was just the most 'I'm white' sense of 'hood' humor I've seen and it made me SHRIEK. It just felt a bit too stereotypical. Also, the ending just kinda seemed a bit TOO MUCH FOR me at the massive meltdown, altho I won't lie the 'screams in babys face' part made me giggle. The dialogue also wasn't the best I've seen from you, not necessarily anything wrong with it, just I've seen better from you on that aspect. This entry was far from the worst you've done, but just not exactly your best.
