Find out more on our Discord Server Creator's Campfire https://discord.gg/FADSj49eSB

Theme: Monsters Only

Theme limit:   The limit for the WRITERS’ JAM is that telepathy must feature somehow in the monster. It can be a strength or weakness or have a bizarre twist (partial, reverse, etc).

Task: Write about a monster in 1000 words or less (≤ 1000 words), incorporating the theme-limit into the story concept. Include a detailed description of the monster, its strengths and weaknesses and its backstory. Entries over 1000 words will be removed at the end of the submission period.

Work alone or collaborate (credit collaborators).

The entry must be original work created during the jam period.

No NSFW or harassing works, please.

Submission on Itch.io: In Create a New Project, go to Details: Description and enter your text in the Description Window. (You may upload one cover image on the itch page to represent the project.)  If you wish to add an explanation about the process you followed, upload a separate document labeled process. This is where you can explain what you did and ask for feedback on how it came across to the readers. We encourage constructive feedback in the comments or on our server.

Rating: The entries will be rated 1-5 stars by itch users in the following 3 criteria: Overall Creativity, Incorporation of the Theme Limit, Writing Quality. The top-rated submission wins a role on our Creator's Campfire server.

You will have 2 weeks to write the entry and a week to rate entries.
