S&S Invitational: Heroic Edition

🕺 Welcome to the Scholar and Scribe Invitational 🕺

The Invitational is our bi-weekly, super-duper, writing contest. It is where we match quills and draw blood all for the sake of the craft. We all know a 'friendly' competition never hurts anyone, much, especially when it can be used as a platform to improve your writing. 🙌

🥳 Last Invitational Winners 🥳

🥇 Gold: 2 HSBI, 300 Ecency points, 50 SCHOLAR, 3 SCRIBE
@kei2 - A Lost Tribe

“Teddy! Close your eyes and hold tight.” Jim grabbed his son and shielded him with his body until the snowstorm subsided. They had almost been covered in half by the violent storm that started only suddenly the moment they came down from the lighthouse to fix the antenna.


🥈 ** Silver: 1 HSBI, 200 Ecency points4, 40 SCHOLAR, 2 SCRIBE**
@alonicus - Winter Miracle on New Pohjola

Their wide tracks prevented them from sinking into the powdery snow, but the jagged gravel-like rocks beneath shifted under their weight so that they moved crab-like and slowly across the mountainside.


🥉 Bronze: 100 Ecency points, 30 SCHOLAR, 1 SCRIBE
@popurri - Back to the beginning

At a small climate monitoring station, the team continues its work despite the fact that winter and a factor they have not been able to identify are killing life. It is one of the many stations that were installed in different regions of the planet in 2040, when the changes were irreversible.


🏅 Runner-Up: 75 Ecency points
@katleya - CHRISTMAS ON PLANET EARTH

In the heart of the Delta Icariustes galaxy, a cyborg known as Imperial Buffalo piloted the spaceship Wasp 1. His dream was to find life on other planets and share knowledge, experiences and traditions.

🤺 Prompt 🤺

THE PROMPT IS JUST A GUIDELINE. A DIRECTION. DON'T FEEL INTIMIDATED BY IT! YOU GOT THIS!

🎥 Genre: Fantasy
🎨 Theme: Heroic

We've had this prompt a couple of times before, so I don't think it needs a rigorous strict description. All you need to do is look up the definition of heroism, add a fantasy setting, and BOOM! you're set. Not all heroes wear capes - so you can be loose with the definition. Good luck!

May the odds - and your creative energy - be ever in your favor!

We'd like to give out a big shout-out and thank you to Ecency for sponsoring this contest! 🤗

A big thank you to @melinda010100 as well for the seamless communication.

Check out the Ecency front-end and/or mobile app for more information on how to use your points.

Nice to know that I've not been totally forgotten! In spite of the busy-ness of life and self-employment, I couldn't stay away for long. I hope to be somewhat more active moving forward!
