S&S Invitational: Heart-Pounding Action 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. 🙌
🧹 HOUSEKEEPING 🧹
We are returning to our old arrangement of Genre + Theme for our prompt structure. We are still experimenting and seeing what works to produce the best writing contest on Hive.
The contest duration is much shorter now also, please check the deadline date carefully.
Thank you for your continuous feedback! Your support is what makes this competition possible.

Thanks for the invitation. I'm already sharpening my pencil to start writing.
Happy day!
Alright, move now.
Great idea.
This is an interesting prompt and at the same time challenging.
Thanks for the invitation, friends
We continue with the dynamics, it seems wonderful to me, friends. I think the theme of this occasion is excellent, something about police comes to my mind, we'll see what happens. Haha.
We keep reading!
Excellent day.
Awesome prompt ! I had fun with this one 😁
Hopefully setting it in the UK in the year 2025 is close enough to contemporary to count. It's a bit dystopian, because that's the United Kingdom we're now living in, but I couldn't resist adding a strong element of satire in as an extra sub-genre....
