Welcome to competing in quarantine! Who else is stuck inside, bored with nothing to do? Well, I can't say I'm bored, I get to spend even more time writing, as I'm on spring break. (My college classes resume online.)

So for all you readers and writers, I have a little challenge for you guys to undertake! (Sign up at the bottom where indicated, that way I can keep track of everyone.)

This competition starts now, and the deadline is 3-27-20 5:00pm GMT. This allows five days for you to write your short stories.

Prompt: Black Hole

Rubric: (This is the requirements and a basis for points.)

-Must contain at least one reference to the prompt.

-Must have at least 1000 words and no more than 2500 words. (I don't have infinite time on my hands!)

-Must be complete in one chapter, hence the name one shot.

-No copying others work, or your own previous work. If it is published online, that counts to copying your own work.

-Must be appropriate for most ages, 8+. EX: No swear words, no mature content.

-Must be Hermitcraft related, OC's are allowed

Grading: (You are graded on creativity.)

You will be graded on a few things:

-Descriptive quality (Can I envision the setting and the characters with just your words?)

-Use of adverbs, adjectives, etc...

-Plot (Is it followable, does it flow together, can a reader make sense of it?)

-Uniqueness (What makes your story different from the others?)

-Following Rubric (Did you keep the word count?)
