S&S Invitational: Feminine Edition

avatar

🕺 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 🥳

🥇 Gold: 50 SCHOLAR, 3 SCRIBE, 2 HSBI, 300 Ecency points
@Fragozar01 with The Reboot of Love

Ana slammed the laptop shut. After watching on her laptop screen as her life began to fall apart, her eyes became moist with tears. Visibly shocked, she walked over to the mirror and, looking at her reflection, realized that it had been a long time since she had seen herself as she was.

🥈 Silver: 40 SCHOLAR, 2 SCRIBE, 1 HSBI, 200 Ecency points
@Loveth97 with Technophobe

*Mr. James Francis was a simple widower who raised his two kids alone and who loved farming and owns several plantations. Some called him a millionaire, but he never saw himself in that light. He was just a simple man who loved nature and couldn't be bothered with phones, TV, laptops, or even the Internet. *

🥉 Bronze: 30 SCHOLAR, 1 SCRIBE, 100 Ecency points
@Wrestlingdesires with Show Me Your World

ALucas glanced away from his monitor, just long enough to smile at the young blonde woman in the tight Rush Hour T-shirt. "It smells delicious, Kelly. Can you please keep it warm for fifteen minutes? I'm on Discord."
