S&S Invitational: November - December

🕺 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. 🙌

@atyourservice with Lollipop Gun

Dad was off running. As he bolted, Carl started laying down suppressive fire. Carl was an amazing shot and his nerves never wavered. On the other hand, Dad was still the athlete he was when he was on his varsity track squad. The duo was unstoppable.

This time around we are returning to a time in our lives we all cherish (or dread, I definitely dread those school memories 😅). As always, we expect no filter from our contestants when it involves the craft. You can go as steamy as you want, just no full-blown erotica, thank you. But everything else goes! ❤️

Your panel of judges will be @kemmyb and @grocko.

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.
