S&S Invitational: Hunter Edition
🕺 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. 🙌
🥳 Last Invitational Winners 🥳

@alonicus - Five Falls After Fall
Maggie Jones fussed around her three children, making sure they were properly dressed and ready to head for the village hall. When they arrived, the place was already busy and most of the people of the village were there gathered around long trestle tables.
🥈 ** Silver: 1 HSBI, 200 Ecency points4, 40 SCHOLAR, 2 SCRIBE**
@popurri - Regreso a aquella noche
The people I have talked to always ask me how I feel so far away from home and in this small town where the customs are very different from the country where I come from.
🥉 Bronze: 100 Ecency points, 30 SCHOLAR, 1 SCRIBE
@rinconpoetico7 - Socrates
She was worried because it was Halloween night, and black cats were inexplicably disappearing. Socrates' favorite milk was on the plate. It was getting late, and the black cat was nowhere to be seen. As the minutes passed, the woman became more and more distressed. She kept whistling into the starry night, waiting for an answer.

🤺 Prompt 🤺
🎥 Genre: Thriller
🎨 Theme: Hunt
✅ WHAT THIS PROMPT IS: A generic, thrilling description of something/someone going after something/someone else.
❌ WHAT THIS PROMPT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE: Elk hunting with the bros.
While at first glance this prompt might seem restrictive, I think you'll find it to be rather broad. It's very directional. And we here at S&S believe in helping you all become the best version of the author you are. This prompt falls into those guidelines perfectly.
May the odds - and your creative energy - be ever in your favor!
