On your mark, get set, go! This year’s CS Hiatus Challenge is about to start! Below you’ll find some important things to know if you’re interested in participating! Be sure to read through it all, because a lot of things are different from last year.
The first prompt will go live on Friday, May 26th at 6pm.
Sunday, 6pm EST - a weekly prompt is posted. Pieces for this prompt must be turned in the following Sunday by 6pm EST.
Monday - Thursday, 6pm EST - a 24 hour prompt is posted. Pieces should be submitted by 6pm EST the following day.
Friday, 6pm EST - a weekend prompt is posted. Pieces should be submitted by midnight EST on Sunday.
This year, pieces will not be anonymous for submission. There are pros and cons to anonymity, just as there are to attaching names, and we’ve decided that having tried anonymity last year, we’re going to give the other thing a shot this year. So we will be telling you the name of the writer/artist when we publish the piece. However, we will be putting the name at the end of the piece, to encourage people to enjoy the pieces without being influenced by the identity of the creator. It’s a compromise, right?
This part is easy enough. When you’ve finished your piece, go to cshiatuschallenge.tumblr.com/submit, and follow the instructions there to turn in your piece! If you have any questions or problems, you can message me at @owlways-and-forever, or email me at [email protected].
Last year, each day of the week feature a different type of prompt. That won’t be the case this year, largely because the scheduling is different. I will do my best to mix up the prompt types, however, and I welcome any suggestions you have for prompts, there’s going to be a lot of days to fill!
