Angel Writing Competition!

Leave a comment

It has only been well over a year but I’m finally once again in a financial position to be able to run competitions again which means it’s time for the fourth competition: Angels! Originally I was going to run another competition between the last one and Angels, but in the year since I’ve absolutely forgotten what the subject was going to be for it and never wrote it down so here we are.

                        .less i asked you for a quick sketch you didn’t need to go in this hard

This competition will be writing only, but from the next I’ll be returning to the Writing and Art format.

Just like the last times, the competition will run for 30 days ending at around 0100

UTC (for the record, I choose these times because they’re the most convenient for me living in Australia).

Rules for Writing:

Must involve some type of Angel as a major character (main character, or main love interest etc.).
The story must involve someone baking some sort of baked goods.
Story must end in a “good end” (can involve suffering, but at least end with them in a good place).
No NTR.
No re-use of already written/published stories.
Maximum 25,000 words length.

How to enter:

Submit your story to me via the TFT Discord preferably via PMing it to me directly. If you don’t have or want to use Discord, you can use the Contact Page on the site and in that case please make sure to mark that it’s for this competition and use a valid email address so I can get back to you.

When will the competition end:

On the 31st of July at around 0100 UTC (I’ll give a more specific time closer to the end date). Judging will go for two weeks following, with the results announced on the 14th of August.

Prizes to be won:

The prizes have changed somewhat this time
1st Place – A full body sketch from resident TFT artist Sucaciic
2nd Place – $30 USD of gifted games on your choice of Steam or GoG
3rd Place – $10 USD of gifted games on your choice of Steam or GoG

Sucaciic’s (some of you might know them as Acciid in the discord) works can be found here. Making the move to gifted games because I can no longer reliably purchase USD gift cards for steam.

How the judging will work:

Entries will be judged by a group of 3 judges who will not be participating in the competition. No, .less, you can’t be one of the judges.

And we’re off! As always, if you have any questions at all about the competition don’t hesitate to hit me up on the discord.

It has been far too long since the last one so I’m super keen to get this one on. Angels has been a heavily requested subject so it’s about time I got to it. I’d been in discussions for a while on how best to update the prizes of the competition so I’m glad that I could work something better out (also find an artist willing to participate).

i swear to god less you better enter after
begging me to do an angel competition for so long

Adventures Across Time – Returning to the Present (Results!)

Leave a comment

I feel obligated to apologize profusely for the delay in finalizing this contest. Part of this delay was due to me suddenly coming down with sickness the previous week. Now I must say that there was a lot of enthusiasm in the community for this competition’s writing prompt, however, other obligations in life obstructed many of our potential contestants. Thus, the turnout ended up being dismally below my expectations. But despite this, I am remaining a man of my word, so instead of cancelling the competition the contestants that did participate will be rewarded.

  • First Place goes to long time writer of this site Coyo with the Time Squad-esque romp Chrono-Crisis.
  • Second Place goes to a newcomer to our community that (currently) goes by SuperDan56 on Discord with the western Love Birds.
  • Third Place goes to a writer with a bright future in this community, Laaren, with the story Perspective
  • Fourth Place unfortunately goes to no one.

The Judges for this competition were myself and the writers Monte Carlo (a certified Historian) and Sukiru Ikeda. The two entries were rated on two 5 point scales, one for overall plot and the other for the overall utilization of history.

Winners will be contacted shortly for prize distribution. Despite the poor turnout for this competition I look forward to hosting another writing event in the future and hope that historical fiction will continue to find an audience on TFT.

Bird’s Eye View Quick Update- Artwork, Profile Added

Image 3 Comments

Still working on Chapter 6, but I managed to commission some artwork of Perri Greene the falcon harpy- the narrator’s homestay in Bird’s Eye View.

The pictures are by Tipsypaipai, and I was so pleased with how they came out I thought I’d share them (I did the text of the ‘Perri’s Secrets’ profile, though).

In all likelihood, Akagane the Tanuki lawyer will be next.

Update on Gamedevelopment on Twitter

In case you are not on the Discord or not following the Twitter or both, here is a link for you.

Things still missing before we hit the alpha release:

  • Better item management (weapons and armor are important and not exactly optional)
  • Experience (we got the battles running, now you need to level up)
  • Better UI (not intuitive right now, especially not the party management)
  • Sound Effects (falconpunch.wav)

Yep. Last stretch.
