I'd like to appreciate all the judges. To Kinwayne, I say may God bless you abundantly. You made some of us know we have potentials waiting to be tapped. I have never written a story before, neither have I participated in any literary contest. With this platform, you gave me and indeed some of us, a sense of direction. After this, we can actually explore the vast world of literature. Thank you once again. And to the judges, I commend you all. This was absolutely devoid of any form of bias. And to my fellow contestants, may the best writer win..... Peace! 1 Like |

chizidgreat: The nominations were taken into consideration, each and every one from the judges. But then, there's such a thing as limited space and you should understand that in every competition, that's bound to come to play. I sincerely appreciate your effort, and this goes to everyone else who got nominated by a judge but couldn't make the final list. 1 Like |

RULES FOR THE NEXT STAGE OF THE COMPETITION The second stage of the competition begins tonight 7/10/2017. Candidates are advised to strictly adhere by these guidelines. STORYLINE A spy is sent on a very dangerous mission by his superiors. It isn't his freewill to be on the mission, why? A person he holds dear is held captive by the people he works for and the only way to set them free is by going on the mission. He successfully completes the mission but he's betrayed by his employers and the person that's held captive is killed, betraying their agreement. Write a story from the perspective of the Spy. The direction the story takes is entirely up to you. I have taken all your feedbacks into consideration and here's my final conclusion. The word length for this round is the same as the first, 1000 words. (This is so writers thrill us with their stories rather than just making it a flash fiction and also because it's what everyone has been clamoring for) The deadline for the submission of stories is dated Friday 14/10/2017. Time: 11.59pm. There would be no room for an extended time of time of deadline. Candidates are advised to please "meticulously proof read and edit" their works. Spelling and grammatical mistakes would be frowned at. Candidates are to submit their stories in MS Word Format (.doc, .docx) only!! Those who are not opportune to use a system, should please make sure their work is sent in an excellent and readable format. Candidates are advised to make use of paragraphs in their works. I will not paragraph your work as I did in the first stage. Each story would be posted here directly without any form of edit. A simple hit of the Enter key is all you need in new sentences just as I do in this post so you find it readable. Candidates are to submit their stories to the email "Chikerelance@gmail.com" Candidates are to take note that they would be judged only from this current story and not combined with their stories in the first stage. Also, as a result of all the feedback I have received, the winners of the competition would be decided by we the judges and not by votes from fans. Please take note! That would be all. Goodluck to everyone. You can reach me on 08114957127/Whatsapp. I'm open to your feedbacks. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Hmmm... Honestly, I think our vote should count, after all, the whole set-up won't hv made sense without us the audience.. AM NOT comfortable with the way we have just been relegated to the back... To be jst mere observers.. This is my point.... We should be allowed to vote, then our Honorable judges will mk there final decision.. Thnks 1 Like |

@Kinwayne thanks, I'm here already. I can't wait to start reading. I think something similar happened to Jack Bauer in season 3 or 4 of 24. But nevertheless, I think female contestants will find the storyline more challenging. Goodluck to you all. 2 Likes |
