Pick your poison: writing or art? This event is mutually exclusive with the art competition. If you submit (individually) for one, you CANNOT submit for the other. Submitting for both will result in 0 points. Choose wisely.
It's time for the aspiring authors among us to put your thinking caps on and write us a short story! We love to read short stories, no matter how good or awful they may be. Use any type of technique to try and make a compelling story of whatever genre you choose, incorporating the items and phrases below. You don't need to include these items prominently in your story, but the more prominent they are while keeping the story interesting and well-written, the more we'll consider you as a winner. Note that Smash Camp fanfics, no matter how well-written, will receive 0 points.
Items you need to include:
- Marbles
- Tapestry
- Strawberry
Choose at least three of the five dialogue options to include in your story:
- "You mean, you don't like ___ anymore?" (fill in the blank)
- "Well, that took longer than I expected."
- "Quick, don't let them see you!"
- "How could they possibly screw this up?"
- "It's not like any of that is real."
