《THE OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST》Round 1: Successful Entrants
Advertisement
A big congratulations to everyone who has started their Open Novella! We had a lot of fun combing through all the submissions and seeing what you were all writing about. From epic battles raging in distant futures, to pineapples hitting the big city -- and we thought we'd seen it all...
If you hit the 2k milestone using one of our prompts, consider yourself a winner. That said, we still had some judging to do to whittle down our chosen favourites, so below is a long list of writers who have progressed the first round and are in for a shot at the grand prize in January!
If you don't see your name below, don't despair -- you're still entitled to a sticker once you've hit 2k using one of our 24 prompts. (More on sticker rules later.)

So read on and give a hearty congratulations to any friends or notable names on the list. If you're included, don't forget to sing it from the rooftops! Grand winners of this round will be notified by a member of the contest in the coming days about their prize.

The Arcane Gunslinger
A lazy celestial being's mistake leads to Sergeant William Remington, a decorated member of the Coalition Marines, to be placed into a new body. His old life aboard the Valkyrie, an interstellar destroyer has also been replaced as he finds his new body in an unknown world. Where he learns of magic, skills, the system, helhorses, and slinging lead with ancient revolvers. Initially, he is skeptical of his new norm but the desire to survive leads him to try to earn a living while he figures out what just happened to his life. He's a fighter but far from the elite, a grunt with some experience. But what better way than to fall back to what he's familiar with, weapons and going after criminals and rebels. With the added challenges of monsters. This is my first Litrpg writing. It's a wild west fantasy setting with the MC taking a role as a gun-slinging bounty hunter in a world of magic and monsters. Hope you enjoy it. UPDATES AT 3PM EST ON MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS! Warning. The story has a slow start because I'm trying to keep my MC realistic. It takes him some time to adjust to his new surroundings, start to make some friends, and really get into the swing of it. I kind of think it's dumb when an isekai's MC manages to blink twice and suddenly adapts to their new world without any sort of struggle or learning period. So not doing that but don't worry Will may be confused and a bit unfocused at first but he'll grow into his own. Also using it to practice my digital artwork... which is far from par but improving. Keep an eye on author notes for maps and depictions of monsters and characters.

Adventures of an Old Dreamer
There once was a boy that lived in a village with no name in a remote corner of a province in a grand empire. Every villager had their place, and his was a shepherd's. Despite that, or perhaps because of it, the boy was an avid dreamer, yearning for adventure between each book he read. Decades go by in the blink of an eye and the young boy grows into an old man, yet remains a shepherd, watching his flock live and die in an endless cycle of life. Yet, the old man dreams on about adventure, never too old to indulge in his delusions. One fateful night, however, his endless prayer gets answered. Two immortals fall from the sky, and from their corpses, the old man acquires the means to strength in order to adventure. What does the world have in store for Lao Chen. --- A Xianxia with a little twist. Rated gore and traumatising, potentially triggering. Enjoy!

Salted Shores
An unknown gang of arsonists has targeted mansions, yachts, and corporations on a ruthless campaign of escalating violence. Have the locals living in Loony Maine had enough of being pushed around, and forced out of their homes by the rich who want the shores all for themselves, or is it a conspiracy that runs much deeper?

Reverse Reincarnation
Returning to a previous life she doesn’t remember, Tori wakes up in a fantasy world as the heir to an empire. One where magic called cultivation rules. While doing research and kickstarting an industrialization, she has to deal with a family of transmigrators, politics, and spirits. Maybe she’ll even figure out why some of them keep trying to kill her. Life in a different world has its challenges, even if it’s the life you’re supposed to lead. This is a slightly tongue-in-cheek take on a transmigration/cultivation novel. The story will be more focused on characters than action. A few characters, including the MC, are LGBT+. Updates: Mon. & Thurs.

Godsmith
A young blacksmith named Hanma is leading a quiet and rather boring life. Having a shop outside the city isn't very adventurous. Then suddenly, when the mine the village gathers its ore is turned into a dungeon, Hanma gets recruited by a very strange figure to be his Wandersmith. Inside this so-called low-level dungeon, they find the strangest of artifacts.
