Under the Night Sky ‘20

For those who don’t know already, I ran an event called “Under the Night Sky” last year back when Wattpad had their version of community forums on Discourse. Given the unfortunate removal of said forums, I had to find a new place to host my event. Fortunately, the community rose up and this past summer, a new writing forum known as Wacky Writers was born.

Long story short, I ran my event there and did the scavenger hunt and nomination for titles similarly to my event from last year. As I did last year, I’ll be sharing the winners again this year. (For those who are curious about the posts from last year, you can find them by clicking here and here.) Now, without further ado, I present to you the winners from this year’s UTNS event!

For the scavenger hunt this year, users were tasked to find the following:

Link to a completed sci-fi novel on Wattpad

Link to a poetry book with under 1k reads on Wattpad

Link to a literary fiction novel with under 5k reads on Wattpad

Link to a 2020 Watty Winning Story

Link to your favorite blog post from the Wacky Writers blog

Before a full hour was even up, I had heard back from all three winners. I was honestly impressed by how fast everyone was with finding answers. Round of applause to all! I’ll be announcing the winners before sharing their answers. If you click on their Wacky Writers username, you’ll be taken to their given link.

Drumroll, please.

Last but not least, it’s time for us to recognize our special nomination winners. Compared to last year, I’ve narrowed down the titles and I’ve also added new ones to accommodate the uniqueness that is the Wacky Writers community. It may be a few months old but it has already become such a wonderful place.

Similarly, to the scavenger hunt winners above, I’ve also allowed each nomination title winner to share a link to a platform they would like shared. Last year, everyone had their Wattpad account shared since the event was hosted in the Wattpad forums. However, this year, I gave users involved more choice.

Thanks for making it all the way to the bottom of this post. Running UTNS has always been a huge undertaking for me but it’s always been rewarding to watch as the writing community engages positively and boosts each other up.

Hope you all have a wonderful 2021!
