The calm before the storm.....

Graphic by Austin Shurtliff.

A storm is a-brewing! But right now, it’s the calm before the storm, as we get ready for battle in the arena⚔️

The prompt for this month’s battle was: STORM⚡️ . Besides a good story, the contest entries also needed to include a character, some kind of environment, and a storm.

And our contestants did not disappoint. We got all kinds of stormy scenarios, from rainstorms to snowstorms to sandstorms! You can check out all the entries here. A big THANK YOU to all who submitted!

Look for another email this week giving you a sneak peek at our Critique Arena competitors. Be sure to take a look and get ready to vote for your favorites on Thursday June 9.

Just a reminder about the new format:

  1. First, the judges will be selecting some Honorable Mentions, so if you didn’t make it to the arena this time, tune in and you might still get a critique!

  2. The voting will take place first, then the judges will do the critiques after the voting is wrapped up. Please note: The voting goes super quick now, so it’s a good idea to review all the entries beforehand!

  3. As most of you know, our guys love some good banter. All of that will start 5 minutes BEFORE the event officially starts so be sure to tune in a few minutes early!

Hope to see you there! Good luck everyone!
