Who’s to say the fun needs to stop with a trilogy? You heard that right, the Open Novella Contest is back for a fourth edition!
For fellow users who’ve returned from years past, welcome back. We are so glad to see familiar faces coming to this corner once again. For new users who’ve recently discovered this profile, we’re excited to see new friends join us on this writing journey!
Whether or not you’re a new or returning ONC writer continue reading further to learn more about the Open Novella Contest.
★ The Open Novella Contest is a collaborative project spanning different corners of the Ambassador-run profiles.
★ The Open Novella Contest has one goal in mind - encouraging Novella writing.
★ There is a slight change from last year’s ONC in which this year’s contest will be a total of 13 weeks from February 1st, 2021 to May 2nd, 2021.
★ This is a writing challenge unlike NaNoWriMo
Although NaNoWriMo is an extremely impressive feat to accomplish, for those with compact schedules the Open Novella Contest provides a wide berth in the writing timeline and a shorter word count goal.
★ Perfect opportunity to test out a new genre
Let’s be honest. We’ve all been there, wanting to delve into a new genre but not necessarily for a full-fledged novel. You can use ONC as a way to “test the waters” before you dive into the world of your new genre interest!

★ New Year’s Resolution or Personal Goals in mind
Perhaps you have New Year’s Resolution set in stone, or you’re wanting to escape from the writer’s block box, or simply to set a new personal goal for yourself!
★ Dust off the old ideas you shelved in the past
Whether it be an idea you shelved a week ago or an idea from the beginning of your Wattpad profile, this is as good a time as any to dust it off and bring it back to life.
★ You either missed out on the last ONC and/or have counted down the days until the next!
Look no further, in a few days time the Open Novella Contest will officially launch on (Eastern Standard Time) and you’ll be free to write your novella masterpiece!
This is solely a promotional chapter for the English Open Novella Contest.

Long Shadow
No destiny, no choice, no hope. Our protagonist, a coward summoned to a world meant for heroes; a new world with new rules and old cruelties. Join him on his adventures as he must deal with menus, monsters, and mysteries in this litrpg fantasy. Thomas Goodwill was an average boy with an average life, all that changed when he woke up in a new reality. Now, out of his depth, damn near out of his mind, he must learn to survive in a game-like reality with no reloads, checkpoints, or save scumming. He does, however, have a drunk snake. Thank you for reading my first story, hopefully, the first of many to come. This will be my main story and is meant to help me practice and hone my skills as I slowly produce more complex ideas. It's a litrpg in which I want to only lightly focus on the mechanics as I don’t want to pad out the word count with math and number tables and while I want to add a few of my own twists here and there, overall I’m going to keep this story close to generic as possible so that I don't let my inexperience lead me into a corner. Thanks again to all willing to leave a review or some constructive criticism, without you I'd never improve. Unfortunately, Cover art is by me.

Currently on hiatus because college is hard. I promise it's not abandoned! Eleutheria, the crown gem of the Solar System, has stood tall for nearly two dozen centuries. Forged in a plague-stricken, war-torn wasteland and tested by fire for hundreds of bloody years, Eleutheria has learned how to survive calamities that would have decimated lesser nations. Its power waxes and wanes, but the empire itself is as steadfast as the Moon; it's an inscrutable, indestructible force of nature no human being could ever hope to stop. But under its glimmering exterior lies a tangled web of secrets and lies, a deadly and decadent court, and corruption that runs from the kings to the kingpins. As its leader loses her grip and opposing forces grow ever stronger, the threat of civil war looms closer and closer to home. The whole country is a chemical reaction waiting to happen, and all it needs is a catalyst. Acidalia Cipher is that catalyst.
