    Welcome to the 2024 Q3 Bitesize Competition - Week 1

    Topic(s): Specific parts of Diagon Alley

    Word count: Under 500 words
    ​
    Bitesize writing competitions will differ from our typical writing competitions. When we do bitesize writing competitions, each small prompt will have around five days for everyone to write a scene (or even just a sentence). During the weekend, we will compare and review each others entries. None of these prompts should take more than 500 words to write. If you have no interest in even wanting to write, don't vote.

    Deadline: Saturday, October 21st at 11:59pm (23:59) PST​

    Discussion: Sunday, October 22nd ​

    Send your scenes/sentences to @Lindsey once you're done. On the day they are due, I will post all the entries in a single post. During the weekend, we can discuss each others entries and how to improve them.

    Voting Rules
    We will not have official voting like normal competitions. Instead we will have a discussion on how to improve the scenes. If you wish, you can pick your favorite entry.

    Got an idea for a future prompt? Put it in this thread!
