Thank you for signing up, Emily! It's always a pleasure to see you here.

AprilJester! Congratulations on completing your entry on time! April is another friend of mine who is a very talented writer. April is passionate about contests as well, so if you ever want to spill tea about contests, April's got all the tea, sis. I hope you guys check out April's profile, especially since she has such a sick banner.

April is almost at 400 followers (at the time of writing this, December 28th, but maybe you'll be at 400 when this is posted on the 30th)! Come on, let's get her there! Congratulations on almost 400, April!

LillianaBerry2003! Congratulations, you completed your entry on time! Lilliana is an extremely, and I mean extremely, diverse author, with works ranging from Harry Potter fanfics to high school stories to children's stories and more. You name it, Lilliana has it! If you're looking for new reads, I highly recommend her profile! Thank you so much for submitting to this contest, and I can't wait to read more of your works!

LAJoyner! Congratulations on completing your entry on time! La is yet another friend of mine (you'll likely see me saying that a lot lol) who works so hard for the community. She's always judging and writing, posting new books and offering reviews to countless people. She's always improving and being so sweet to everyone around her. Thank you, La, for being here, and I can't wait to read your entry!

kinky_is25! Congratulations, you completed your entry on time! Kinky is the writer of Christmas present in a box: wonders of Christmas reunion, so they are the perfect candidate for a winter prompt contest! You got experience with winter themes, after all! I'm so excited to read your entry. Thank you for signing up! I hope you guys check out Christmas present in a box! It's a cute Christmas adventure!

4everSherlocked! Congratulations on completing your entry on time! Sherly is yet another friend of mine (sensing a theme yet?) who writes a variety of K-pop fanfics and some cool original stories. Sherly has won quite a few times in my past contests, so it's safe to say I think she's doing a pretty swell job, and you guys should definitely check out her work! I'm so glad you decided to sign up, Sherly! You know I always enjoy reading what you come up with.

Pulchra_Aurum! Congratulations, you completed your entry on time! Evie is a fellow Ravenclaw RAAAAH (sorry, Raven's inner American came out there). We LOVE our fellow Ravenclaws 💯💯💯.

But, anywho, moving more seriously (Ravenclaw is super serious to me): Evie is a very talented writer best known for Beyond Bloodline - Unbreakable Bonds. For me personally, I definitely recommend The Book Of One Shots. I read it for another contest and thought it was really cool, so I highly recommend! Evie, thank you for joining this contest!

Mochi711! Congratulations on completing your entry on time!

Hi Esi 😏😏😏

I mean... hi Esi! 🥺🥺🥺

Esi is another friend of mine who is extremely passionate about writing and is always eager to talk about it (and also leave the Discord every time Estella, E, and I are online). She just recently finished her short story, (Au) Revoir, and I strongly suggest checking it out! We all appreciate you, Esi. Thank you for being here!

(P.S. Pls don't ever leave the server, we would miss you too much)

Sxlly_Gxrl! Congratulations, you completed your entry on time! So would I be a broken record if I said "another friend of mine"? Yeah? But it's the truth! I don't think she needs any introduction, though. You've all read the brilliant Timeless prose book, right? Well, if you haven't, what the heck are you doing? Go over to Sxlly_Gxrl's profile and go read Timeless right now, and leave lots of comments!

Thank you for signing up! It's great to see you here, and it's always an honor to read your work! I can't wait to take a dive in!

Thatgurlaturdoor! Congratulations on completing your entry on time! Yet another entry where I've read other works by this author. I've read the Nikita chapter in The Final Sacrifice, and whew, let me tell you, what a ride that was. To everyone reading this, I strongly recommend reading Nikita! It was a great oneshot that I enjoyed a lot. Thank you for signing up, and I can't wait to read your entry!

Kaoriwritess! Congratulations, you completed your entry on time! You may recognize Kaori from Love Across Pages, an adorable compilation of love stories (where Kaori's entry for the first prompt is!). Aside from the entry, I would definitely recommend Beyond the Badge from that compilation! It's a short and sweet story I highly recommend.

Kaori, thank you for signing up! I hope you enjoyed writing about the prompt!

Hopie37! Congratulations on completing your entry on time! You'd have to be literally insane to ever say anything even 1% negative about Hopie, and if you ever do, you'll have to go through ME first, you hear me? Hopie is such an absolute angel, and you guys need to go support every single little thing Hopie ever does, got it? For legal reasons I'm gonna say that's not a threat but like you should do it or else I will be sad. You don't want to see a Cancer frown, do you?

But (non)threats aside, thank you, Hopie, for being such an uplifting, positive force in the community. I appreciate you so much!

Sohinigoswami! Congratulations, you completed your entry on time! Sohinigoswami is a pretty cool name. But anywho, that aside, you may recognize Sohinigoswami from If Not Now , Then When?, a poetry collection with over 70 poems included. Sohini has a plentiful amount of poems to choose from, so I encourage you to go check them out!

Oh, and if you ever need book recs, Sohini has that covered, too.

Thank you for submitting to the weekly contest! I'm excited to see what you came up with!

KainGodchilds! Congratulations on completing your entry on time! Kain made an OC named Kain Godchilds (sick name) and has been using his name ever since, which I think is a pretty cool backstory right there. Kain as a writer has certainly never shied away from exploring. Upon looking through Kain's profile, I found poetry collections, short stories, adventures, self-discovery, and so much more. In total, Kain has 31 works out at the time of writing this. Wow, that's quite a few, so if you guys are looking for your next read, I guarantee you that Kain has something you'll like. I would definitely recommend Kain's poetry! Poetry needs to be more appreciated on this platform!

Thank you for signing up for the weekly contest, Kain!

Last but certainly not least, ViolenceandSorrow! Congratulations, you completed your entry on time! ViolenceandSorrow is a variety writer with countless poems, flash fics, and stories making up their profile. What caught my eye was House of Cards. And, no, it's not because I'm a BTS fan but because of the interesting cover and the one-line blurb that made me want to read more. I'm excited to check that out, and you guys reading this should check it out with me!

Thank you for signing up! I'm excited to read your work!

That does it for the introductions. Thank you to everyone for signing up, and we'll see you again when results come out.

Prompt 2 forms will remain open until January 5th in EST.
