We’ve left Round One of the Super Challenge in the dust, and I can just see Round Two over the horizon. Once again, anything that went right is entirely due to our admin team’s untiring work behind the scenes, and anything you hate is probably my fault.

Before we announce who’ll be moving on, let’s take a moment to chat about the next round of the Super Challenge. Starting Friday, the advancing writers will be working with two prompts: a setting and an event. There are still no genre or setting restrictions, because we love variety. Round One gave us everything from historical fiction to science fiction, and from realistic stories to pure fantasy. We’re writers, too: we want you to write what you enjoy.

Sound fun? Let’s see who’ll be taking on that, er, super challenge on Friday:

Congratulations to Our Advancing Writers

Writers, if you don’t have your feedback, please send us an email at superchallenge@yeahwrite.me, ’cause that email should have reached you about twelve hours ago.

Now that this round of the competition is over, you’re free to post your work anywhere on the Internet you like, or take our judges’ suggestions and rework your submission to send on to other venues. If you do choose to post your work on your own site or blog, we’d love it if you took a minute to add the link to our special Super Challenge grid, right here: (just click the blue button and follow the instructions!)

About the author:

Rowan submitted exactly one piece of microfiction to YeahWrite before being consumed by the editorial darkside. She spent some time working hard as our Submissions Editor before becoming YeahWrite’s Managing Editor in 2016. She was a BlogHer Voice of the Year in 2017 for her work on intersectional feminism, but she suggests you find and follow WOC instead. In real life she’s been at various times an attorney, aerialist, professional knitter, artist, graphic designer (yes, they’re different things), editor, secretary, tailor, and martial artist. It bothers her vaguely that the preceding list isn’t alphabetized, but the Oxford comma makes up for it. She lives in Portlandia with a menagerie which includes at least one other human. She tells lies at textwall and uncomfortable truths at CrossKnit.
