🍂 About the Contest

Welcome to Autumn's Hidden Secrets, where you and a writing partner will team up to fix pesky plot holes and weave seamless stories together.

Think of it as the ultimate literary scavenger hunt: you'll dig through your stories, uncover those sneaky inconsistencies, and collaborate with your partner to give them a brilliant fix.

But don't worry-it's not all serious business. This contest is as much about enjoying the creative process as it is about patching those holes.

After all, who doesn't love a good laugh over a plot twist gone wrong?

So, grab a partner (or make a new friend here!), put on your autumn caps (and maybe grab some pumpkin spice while you're at it), and let's turn those story gaps into golden opportunities.

Together, we'll make this season one for the books-literally!
