Happy August Sanctum Dwellers!!

With a hellishly hot month ahead, we'd like to offer you the chance to enjoy a cool new prompt!

Write a Story About Beating the Heat

As always, prompts are open to interpretation. So long as general site rules are followed and the prompt is attempted, anything goes. Badges will be awarded to all participants, with a special one for the winner, all courtesy of @Rose for the Hunter

Please post all entries as a thread in this forum (Link) with a unique title. The Deadline for this month is Sunday, August 28th, 2022. Please have all entries posted by that evening (EST)

Congratulations to @TrashPanda for winning the July Writing Challenge and thank you to all participants for their excellent work!!

We look forward to seeing your stories!!

I have such a dirty dirty mind - Jesus.

I have a question, how long does it have to be? Is it a short story? Something around 5-10k? Or...?

This is my first time doing the challenge, I don't really know how this works

I don't think that there is a word count limit but if you need to post more than once, use the same thread to do so. I'd say, post to your heart's content.

This is will be my first time, as well, so good luck to you!

No maximum, no minimum. Our only request is "try to be reasonable", since the hope is for people to read all the entries before voting

"No minimum"

Waiting for someone to make their entry titled "Guide to survive the summer heat", and the entry would just be "You can't".

Beating the Heat, eh? Time to write an ode to my favorite NBA Finals, where another chapter was added to the legend of Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobli, Tony Parker, Kawhi Leonard...

Oh. You probably don't mean the team, huh?

So I have a quick question. Would one be able to post their written entry on other sites after the contest's conclusion (like on Pixiv or Scribblehub for example) or is it meant to be exclusive to here and can't be posted elsewhere during or after the contest, even if said contest isn't mentioned.

It's your entry and your writing. Do anything you like with it!
