Welcome to the spooky edition of Author of the Week with hosts

lil & childish!

 

This is a weekly article where you can showcase your word game skills by taking part in a number of fun literacy games based around a theme to win diamonds and badges! You can join us bi-weekly to show off your best creative writing for everyone to read and enjoy. There will be different prompt options for storytelling and poetry, which will be explained each time in the theme section of the article. 



For those of you who are new to AOTW, here are some basic guidelines:

 

  1. Your submission must follow the theme. 

  2. Only the user who submitted will receive the prize. 

  3. You must submit your answers as explained in the games submission form.

  4. Keep your submission Suitable For Work (SFW) at all times. All NSFW entries will be denied as an entry.

  5. Only your first entry to any part of the article will be accepted. 

  6. You must submit your writing piece by using ONLY Google Docs link

  7. No copying work from other sources from anything online or actual books.

  8. All short stories need to be approximately 100 to 1000 words. 

  9. Using ChatGPT or any other AI will be denied as an entry.

  10. If more than one person answers correctly within the games and follows the correct format on the submission form, the winner will be selected via a random generator.
