🕺 Welcome to the Scholar and Scribe Invitational 🕺
The Invitational is our bi-weekly, super-duper, writing contest. It is where we match quills and draw blood all for the sake of the craft. We all know a 'friendly' competition never hurts anyone, much, especially when it can be used as a platform to improve your writing. 🙌
🧹 HOUSEKEEPING 🧹
- Apologies for the lack of activity of late. Had some real-life issues to take care of and couldn't really commit to Hive much. But I'm back and have big plans. Both for this contest and for this amazing community.
- We are changing the format slightly. From this edition on we will no longer require a mix of genre/theme. For now, we will only stick with a prompt genre and see how we evolve from there.
🥳 Last Invitational Winners 🥳
🥇 Gold: 50 SCHOLAR, 3 SCRIBE, 2 HSBI, 300 Ecency points
@popurri - Tres días para cambiar
Just another day in my life, monotonous, meaningless and extremely boring. It needed a spark to ignite it. I walk to work like every day, it's raining and I'm carrying my black umbrella.
🥈 Silver: 40 SCHOLAR, 2 SCRIBE, 1 HSBI, 200 Ecency points
@bipolar95 - The prankster
Once, he pranked his elder brother Caleb with a fake account clearance details that Caleb narrowly survived a heart attack because he thought his bank account has been hacked and all his money made away with.
🥉 Bronze: 30 SCHOLAR, 1 SCRIBE, 100 Ecency points
@loveth97 - Justice for the bullied
McClain fondly called MC by his friends and family was parked outside Travis, his best friend's house. He dialed Travis's number excitedly, anxious to share his news with him.

🤺 Genre Prompt 🤺
The story you submit MUST adhere to the following prompts:
🎥 Genre: ACTION
We're starting things off simple with this one. The action genre is a staple of fiction and it comes in many shapes and sizes. How you choose to present your action story is up to you. Whether you decide to throw in some romance or make it more like a body-cop type of story, does not really matter for the prompt. What's important is that you make the best action story you can!
May the odds - and your creative energy - be ever in your favor!
We'd like to give out a big shout-out and thank you to Ecency for sponsoring this contest! 🤗
A big thank you to @melinda010100 as well for the seamless communication.
