Hear ye, hear ye!
All you knights of the realm! Behold, for a Qummunity Quest is approaching!
The Knightly Guilds, the Moon Guild and the Sun Guild, are recruiting bold combatants to partake in their great Festival of Combat, held the Eighteenth through the Thirty-First of May, Year of our Lord 2023.
You will gain honor and glory for you and your guild through great feats of valor, writing your way to victory!
Throughout the tournament, the vendors will be available to aid you, providing limitless inspiration with which you can challenge yourself! Further, you have the opportunity to spar with one another to continue growing your glory!
Any interested combatants should put forth their name for the guilds to choose between you!
May your pen flow readily, and may the best Guild win!
In layman's terms, here's how it works. May 18-31 we are holding a fun new writing challenge for you guys. You'll be sorted at random into one of two teams. Your goal is to help your team write more words than the other team and rack up as many glory points as you can. Sound like something that interests you? Go ahead and put your username HERE so that you can be assigned to a guild. Coming from another site? Click HERE to sign up for an account on our website and get started.
Questions you might have:
How do you earn glory points? Three ways. First, you can win a Word War in our forum. Second, you can participate in WoQs, a streamed group writing challenge full of fun prompts and dares, by sharing your progress in the live chat either in Discord or on YouTube. Finally, you can complete the prompts we'll be dropping through the week (one each weekday) which will see you completing tasks for the people around the festival.
How do you report your words? A google form for reporting your word count will be made available for the duration of the challenge.
How do you report glory points? For word wars, a link to the comment where you won the word war. For WoQs, your participation will be recorded and you'll be rewarded the glory points, so no need to report these. For daily prompts, a link to the comment where you shared how you used the prompt. A google form for reporting your glory points will be made available for the duration of the challenge.
What's important about my team? Your team is your base of operation for the challenge. You will receive access to a team-only area where you can cheer each other on and get to know each other through the challenge. You will also be competing alongside them to help amass more glory points and words than the other team.
Have a question I didn't answer here? Ask away! We'll get back to you as soon as we can.
New to the site too-- ready for a challenge. Let's go!
I am new to NoQu, so i'd like to ask what the writing prompts might look like in terms of the theme they'll have? Is it fictional, non-fiction, fantasy, biographical, etc.?
