Ever wondered where I got inspiration for our orc pal in WYLU? Well, firstly from my S.O., but you already knew that. Here, I'll show you the art I sent in to create Yv/Ivan's actor.
These were my favorite orcs from a few pintrest and internet searches. I did want the character to be red, though, as a mountain orc. But it's all good!
Come to think of it, I sent in a few more that emphasized the burliness of the female but she ended up smaller than Ivan anyway.
For anyone who is unaware, Creation Challenges are prompt-driven competitions through the Tales: Choose Your Story community on Discord where you can submit responses to prompts and receive feedback and a prize for your work! You do not have to be a writer, they are designed to be as inclusive as possible! After a voting period, the highest voted earns a free promotional package!
There are three types of challenges so far:
Weekly Challenges, or WC- prompts that go out every week and are changed every Monday. Tend to be shorter. Includes βMixed Mediaβ prompts more frequently. Voting held every Friday-Sunday to declare a winner!
Biweekly Projects, or BP- prompts that go out every other week and are changed every other Monday. Tend to be longer with more free reign. Voting held every other Fri-Sun to declare a winner!
and the Line Game- a month-long living work split into two parts that anyone can add to. Begins with a prompt and paragraph from the host of Creation Challenges (which would be me!). For more info, feel free to check out #Games in the Google Drive Folder that I've shared down below!
Winners of Weekly Challenges and Biweekly Projects earn special specially curated social media promotional material! Creators that win will also be highlighted across different social media platforms with their winning work. Anyone can participate, and anyone can win! Good luck!

It's finally October and I'm sure you're in search of a good read. We'll, guess what? We've got a second time winner and her latest story, "Secrets of the Library" waiting for you! You may remember Misha Howse from our second August Biweekly Project Challenge. Well, folks, she's back and she's even stronger than before!Β
Misha brought down the house with a lovely submission for last week's challenge, and she's here to give you the thrill of a lifetime. "Secrets of the Library" is a wonderful interactive fiction story in which the players choices changes the paths that the main character, Noemi, encounters. With paths such as Apocalyptic or Historical, what more could you want?
And it doesn't end there! There are subplots galore in this story! Make smart choices to earn relationship points with the object of your heart's desire. But, will you be able to keep them (or yourself) safe when nothing is as it seems?
Go check it out on Tales: Choose Your Own Story! But wait, you want more? Not to worry, we've got your back! Check out more of Misha Howse's works on Amazon, Wattpad, and Radish! Make sure to follow them on Instagram @ misha.howse for updates!Β
