r/literarycontests, a new sub for calls for submissions in all genres

Hi writers of r/CharacterPrompt,

I’d like to invite you to r/literarycontests, a new sub for calls for submissions to literary contests and publications. We post calls for submissions for all genres, especially fiction, poetry, short story, essay, nonfiction, and self-published books. The organizations whose calls we post include journals and magazines, anthologies, and foundations, niche and mainstream, both in print and online, from all over the world. We prioritize established contests with low, or no, entry fees, which offer cash prizes and publication opportunities.

r/literarycontests is updated daily, and all calls for submissions are tagged by genre. The posted contests have all been vetted by the writers’ resource organization Winning Writers, one of Writer's Digest's "101 Best Websites for Writers" (May/June 2019 issue). The mission of r/literarycontests is to connect writers with the opportunities that will help their development both in craft and reputation.

Members of r/literarycontests are encouraged to contribute calls for entries that fit the standards listed in the sidebar. All submissions are approved by me, your friendly mod, in order to ensure consistency in post formatting and contest quality.

So, welcome along to r/literarycontests! I think a lot of writers don't realize how many opportunities, especially free opportunities, there are out there to submit work. We would definitely like to see the number of writers making use of these opportunities grow. Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you around the sub.

All the best, /u/winningwriters

Thief needs a character arc

My thief needs a arc or goal that they can achieve. They were betrayed but I don’t want it to all be about revenge since they are light hearted in nature. They are a pack rat but I’m having a hard time thinking of anything past “hoarder learns to let go”.

A scary looking character that’s actually incredibly kind-hearted and just wants love, but they’re often judged because of how they look.

Miniature Tales, Week 1

Alright guys, I'll be posting pictures of minis every week from my collection, what I want you guys to do is come up with a backstory and personality for the character. Week to week I may give you guys a prompt or situation to deal with, tell me how our character handles it.

This week's mini holds a special place in my heart, he was my first mini for my first session. Let's see what you guys do with him.
