I'll be back in half an hour with a winner.
The question is can you avoid sexual implication this time, you've already submitted two of those in the last contest.
 
It's basically a ok for a rhyming story as long as it isn't sexual in anyway yea
 
Did someone say MUSIC? Challenge not accepted.

In all seriousness, hopefully school or allergies won't kill me before I get the chance to try one of these writing events out. orz
 
Your link is broken to the 2019 Writing Event.

But it sounds interesting. I might try this one.
Fixed, lol. I used a raw empty version for this writing event.
 
so like, say I have a song I've already written
and made a video of etc and all
am i able to submit it?
and does it have to reach the 200 word mark?
 
I actually think my first post was better.
 
I have a question!!
Are we allowed to use unoriginal songs within an original story as part of the storyline?

Yep, that's fine.

already written? Sure
Video submission? Ehhh... you can if you'd like, but it wouldn't be considered during judging
200 word mark? We can give a bit of leeway on this number, but generally expect most to hit this minimum.
 
Music has never been my forte. Much less writing something related to a song within a story, or the other way around.
But I guess I can't run away forever. Cracks knuckles
Bring it.
 
No one has a clue how much I wanted to just type up this. I figured plagrism isn't the way though.

 
hi!! i was wondering, when you say a story that "revolves around music", to what extent must it revolve around it? i don't know if this makes any sense, but i'm super interested in this idea & already have an idea (hence why i'm asking!), so if i need to try to be more specific to give a better idea of what i mean then i will! ^^

As it says, revolves around music. So a pianist character struggling to write a song, or even a busker's life, someone whose life revolves around constantly listening to music, etc. As long as it revolves around music in some manner as a main theme.
 
Fable Fable , what is a song poem to you? Must it rhyme in your opinion, have a beat via syllables, both? Just want to be sure how RPN deems a poem a song-related poem.
 
i have a question! could we do a story that is based off of a song that already exists? or must it be one that we come up with ourselves?

Ideally it should be all original, including the song. However, if your submission is mostly a story and the existing song lyrics is not its main part, then you can use an existing song.

TBH when you say poem song I think like beat poetry for some reason. It needs to follow the format/structure of a song if you are writing a song.

I encourage anyone thinking about trying to just go for it! It's fun to write out prompted subjects, and great practice.

Don't concern yourself with winning, just share your art with us!

I, for one, am very much enjoying reading through everyone's beautiful work!
