Hey Max.  I think we can take the initiative for contest.  You could take up a collection plate for a monetary prize ($100 split between 10 people is only $10.00 Could even make it an entry fee).  If someone in the group knows a professional editor willing to donate his time, a review could work.  Oh, and of course, a hearty handshake will do too.  My idea for the first contest is best in the genre where you take a historic character and have him or her fight zombies/vampires, etc.  OK, I'm weird.  I admit it.

In Scribophile, our competence, rather than money, you win publishing points. For example, if the entry fee is two points and 10 people are participating, the price is 20 points. An editor can be chosen as judge. The advantage for the editor is that he or she gets known in the site and that's free publicity for him/her. Of course, this doesn't work for novels, only for short stories, and even then you need to limit the amount of words to 1000 or 2000 at the most. But even then, I think it would be fun.

Kiss,

Gacela

From replies contests are of interest. Back in 2013 checks for my writing came in the mail and it was a thrill... they paid for my chewing gum... lol.

Sol offers up contests with cash prizes and I think we should roll with that. Horror genre. 1000 - 2000 words. Subject - premise of contest to be determined. Judges, now that is an interesting challenge.

I'll work with Sol and it will happen, but after the 3 chapter novel contest finishes.

Everyday I intend to write about current research or what I think is interesting pertaining to one or more of these groups. I have five novels in various stages of completion and I am now writing full time to deal with them. Well actually, I write five to six hours each day, which leaves me 18 or more hours to ruminate on the arts, women in literature like Daphne du Maurier, the big picture of literature in the digital world, our over-populated world, and also spend time reviewing the writing here on tNBW.

Three of these groups revolve around evil in the world, please feel free to express your take on evil and how it pertains to the craft of fiction in the group forums for these groups. Or write about how the good things of our world vanquishes evil.       Having just one group forum (this forum) imhp limits the usefulness of this site.
