Writers Camp x NaNoWriMo November 2018

[brooke]

The link for submissions is up! The form for the 50,000 word challenge will be up shortly as well.

We do ask that you refrain from submitting through this form until your novel meets the minimum length requirements (15 episodes of at least 500 words each)--there isn't any advantage for submitting earlier or disadvantage for submitting later

Of course, please do go ahead and tag your series with #nov18writerscamp as soon as you create it (no need to meet the minimum length for this). We're going to create a collection with all Writers Camp entries soon, so that you can check them out conveniently in one place!

It says I need permission to view it, is this normal?

[ratscout]

I was worried I was the only one! XD

[Greetings]

Okay, I'm glad to hear it's not my browser.

[brooke]

Sorry about that! It should be working now!

[Greetings]

Yep, it works great! Looks awesome, I love the layout!!

[brooke]

Just in case any of you are literally writing machines that have managed to complete NaNoWriMo in one day, the form for the 50k word bonus is also up!

[jaberona]

Do we receive a confirmation email or something after submitting the form, to make sure we're in?

[haniekhaekins]

Thank you for your response.

What if I enter nano and win but without publishing what I write?

[brooke]

Hi spicy_sweets, are you asking about the 500 coin bonus? In order to be eligible for it, your story must be published on Tapas.

[spicy_sweets]

damn. Alright, thanks! (ヽ´ω`)

[Tangerinelies]

Hi. Didn't know this was here. Neat.

[Zaboem]

Are you trying to hide your story from, Spicy? Seriously though, if you feel that your NaNoWriMo story is maybe not ready to be shared publicly, simply wait until the last day and upload it all at once. You will certainly lose the race for the most subscribers, but it should be within the rules to hold out until the last chance.

[spicy_sweets]

Oooo true :o
Didn't consider that tbh!

[mrtoontastic]

Aww, yeaahhhh~! I'm totally dashing into this one for sure!

[YaoiParadise]

Are there any rules about entering books from a series in the contest (ie the third book in a four book series) if it's posted as a new novel?

[brooke]

Hi YaoiParadise, there's nothing in the rules that would prohibit that, but please consider whether or not the third book would be able to work as a standalone novel without the context of the prior two books

Hi everyone, hope your November is going well and that the first weekend of Writers Camp x NaNoWriMo has been productive! We've updated the rules for Writers Camp--you can read more below, or at the top post of this forum thread. This change is also reflected on the Newsfeed article with the official rules.

UPDATE 11/5/18:
Hi everyone! We have an important update regarding the rules for Writers Camp x NaNoWriMo.

After receiving feedback from both community writers and Premium creators, we’ve had some discussions and reached a decision to update the rules. Although Premium creators are welcome to join this round of Writers Camp, they will not be eligible for either of the two Community Prizes (which are determined based on subscriber count).

We made this choice because we wanted to give a fair chance to all of the writers in this contest. Current Premium authors may already have an established readership, which can affect their series’ number of subscribers during Writers Camp. Although we appreciate everyone’s hard work, we want to give an equal opportunity to undiscovered writers and encourage readers to find new favorites.

That being said, Premium creators are still eligible for the Editors’ Choice prize! We’re reading all of the entries we receive, and we’re excited to consider every single one of them.

Whether you’ve been publishing with us for a long time or this is your first shot at writing, we can’t wait to read your story. Thank you for writing with us, and we hope you have a great Writers Camp x NaNoWriMo!
