Anime-Artist_XIX said: You're not limited to only those keywords, so should be fine~Can the Cyberpunk prompt board include a story with survival, horror, psychological & thriller elements? The keywords would suggest otherwise but I just wanted to confirm. |

| Good luck to those joining this year ❤️ |
| OMG! this is awesome. I probably won't enter this contest but I really want to read the novels created by users. |
| I may or may not be entering this time. Prompts don't exactly align with my personal interests as a writer, but I might be able to come up with something I wish everyone who's participating the best of luck! I'm sure we'll get lots of interesting stories to read again this year, like last year's Questionable Days with Yokai, Tales of Virtual Shopkeeper and A Kat's (GOD AWFUL!!!) Blessing, for example |

You can find all of the information on this page :) TheIceKing103 said: I know it says that the minimum and maximum word count is going to be reduced from last years, but does anybody know exactly what the word count for this one is? From the page I linked above: Completed novels must contain 25,000 words minimum to 75,000 words maximum. |
| Did any of last year's even get adapted? Last I recall they sunk without trace. The idea of jury is somewhat interesting though. Providing the requirements for being a part of it are actually reliable, which is hardly something I expect. EDIT - "Have Discord and Google Drive." Well that's certainly going to filter out the experts(!) |

O_T_T said: Last I heard (which was just yesterday), Honeyfeed is still working on it with Kodansha. I believe they said there was one in particular (no namedrop, though), that Kodansha was especially interested in? Although I could be misremembering or misinterpreting what they saidDid any of last year's even get adapted? Last I recall they sunk without trace. Source: many of the HF admins were online on the Discord yesterday to answer questions about the contest, and someone brought that up |

screamingcoffee said: I'll be joining the contest! I've no information to give right now, but may this little passage somewhat take you into remembering a "Screaming Coffee" writer lurking around. If you do good luck! ^u^ Feel free to come by the Honeyfeed discord server and say hi/drop your novel’s name when the time comes uwu |
| I'm thinking about it harder than last time, but I probably still won't work up the will to do it. |
| I'll try school life I guess. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
| The word count decrease depresses me. I had a cyberpunk story that I'm still writing (only have 3 chapters written lol) that would fit this challenge but now I need to scrap it all together since not even an "open ending" is accepted... the only change I like is the judges. I might apply for a judge panel if I got nothing to offer (which is likely to happen.) |
| I dont understand the word decrease, when looking at this yesterday I couldn't find any information on the official site where you submit as to a count as min / max words. (barring the final count) Only thing I could discern is you have to release it in some kind of chapter format and do one per x period. I love a bit of story telling but the rules seem so convoluted its kinda putting me off. Cyberpunk is one of my fav genres to boot! |

Mahir62 said: Can I write a romcom based on the "school" theme? It's very hard, if not impossible, to write a contemporary teen romance plot without the school element. If the focus of your story will be the romance aspect, then the setting, even if it's a school or a cyberpunk setting, should be a far second element and therefore your story should be entered under the romance category. Good luck if you're entering! |
 |
| Can I use the school setting for action? The keywords seems to want drama. |
 |
| Good luck to all participants! This sounds really fun! |
| And when creation goes to die You can find me in the sky Upon the last day And you will be okay |
| This might sound really dumb but does the ‘rom-com’ have to be heavy on comedy? I have an idea for a romance that matches a few of the keywords but it’s not a particularly fun plot… |
 |
| Will Demons,zombies or even fantasy elements qualify under cyberpunk? If not, I'm assuming these themes are here for a more creative genres? I'm fine with either results. I'll see if I can be flexible. I also wanted to ask if we can just write romance instead of rom-com? Comedy ain't my forte. EDIT: I also wanna know if it's not possible for cyberpunk than maybe Demons, zombies, fantasy as setting for rom-com? |

I’m in the same situation; got a great romance idea but I’m just awful at rom-com |

Lilly_B_L said: Pretty sure you can add whatever elements you want in either of the themes, just as long as the focus is that chosen theme. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it needs to be rom-com. Not separate. Just scrapping another idea then. I noticed the school and rom-com are all about wholesome, fluff, and positivity which is challenging me a bit since all my ideas seems to be dark. I'm assuming at least school bullying fits the theme? Although it's not mentioned anywhere in the keywords. A lot of rom-com aren't comedic for me if I'm honest. They are usually fun and lighthearted moments but I don't want to mislead you into still writing a 'possible' wrong theme. I guess check if you tick any of the keywords. |
Lilly_B_L said: Hope Honeyfeed changes that and makes it an actual function/feature in a future update! Debicunhalima08 said: Can i merge the images with the texts? for example a scene where the characters are talking in a room, after the description there would be a drawing of them talking Example: The girl's friends are talking about how they are going to do the rescue mission through the shadows without the enemy noticing, some are worried since the enemy is more experienced than them and may already be preceding this rescue. Two frames showing the characters talking You can't actually put images in your stories/chapters. There's no function for that on Honeyfeed (you can do it on Wattpad, though). But there is a gallery and a showcase feature- gallery is to upload your own illustrations and showcase is for fanart people made for your story. |
|
| I think I'll give this a try this year! I planned on writing a girls' love cyberpunk story, though. I know according to the rules that would mean, then, that I couldn't check off romance or comedy when uploading my story. But, does the same rule apply to the girls love/boys love categories? They're listed as separate categories, but it's all romance in the end. Good luck to everyone participating! |
| hehe i think ill enter this time :] |
| I wont enter myself but Im simply here to wish good luck to yall who decide to give this a go :) |
