Team Keepers!

1st place

You earned 660 points!

They secured the title for the second year in the row! There must be some sort of elf magic cast around their team. ;)

Everyone, feel free to put your team’s image on your blog’s sidebar. That’s why I made them, after all!

I want to say thank you to everyone who participated this year. It makes me really happy that you all like CWWC so much. I’ll host it again — next summer, definitely, maybe sooner. There will be a few differences (what changes would you like to see?), but it will still be the same writing camp that you guys love. :)

    Congratulations, Keepers! Even though we Narnians didn’t win… :P Everyone did a great job! Loren, this was really fun. Thank you for hosting it! :)
    I would definitely like to participate again. Some changes I would like to see is a longer deadline and maybe the total score of all the teams each challenge.

    Hmm.. changes… if you could give us more time to submit our stories, that would be great! It was really hard to get my stories in on time since I only had 2-3 days. :) I had tons of fun though! Thank you for hosting this challenge, Loren!! :)

    *SNIFF* NOOOO, WE LOST. :( Oh well, good try, Team Dragons! GREAT job, everyone!
    Loren, thanks so much for hosting this! You did a wonderful job!! I really like some of the stories that I wrote inspired by your prompts!
    As for any suggestions for the next CWWC, I would appreciate if the next one was maybe a bit more centered around writing rather than points. Sometimes it seemed like getting all the prompts into your story, no matter if it made sense or not, was more important than taking time to really write a good story. Anyway, just a suggestion.
    Also, I was wondering if you could maybe make the deadline longer? (Of course, maybe I would still procrastinate until 10:00 on the last day anyway. XD )
    Thanks again, SO MUCH, Loren!! This is a wonderful writing challenge! ♥

      Yeah, I kind of agree with your suggestion. Using all the past prompts was good in one sense, because it created more of a challenge, but because you used all of the same prompts, (and three different ones) the different stories seemed the same and unoriginal.

    Congratulations to all the teams! Even if we didn’t win, for me, it’s not about that- it’s about improving my writing skills and having fun writing my stories :)
    Some changes I would like to see are:
    1. No using previous prompts. I personally didn’t like that option (no offense meant here). I felt insanely pressured to use as many prompts as possible and started to not have as much fun because of that. I got tired of reusing the same prompts and I feel like having this option made people go insane and only think about using as many prompts as possible and winning instead of making good stories that make sense. It wasn’t the same quality and to me, this challenge should be about quality and improving your writing skills, not cramming in a bunch of prompts wherever possible just to win.
    2. I’d also like a longer deadline. 3 days was so hard for me to do with how busy I’ve been lately. So maybe a week would be better XD
    I’m sorry if I sounded rude, Loren. I didn’t mean to, I just wanted you to know how I felt about this :)
    You really do a great job at running this whole thing – I honestly don’t know how you do it! Thank you for all the work you put into this challenge :)

    Good job Dragons!!! I agree with Jaclynn and Allison about the prompts. I like to create a new original amazing story for each challenge, and I felt pressured to use as many prompts as I could (which I only did for the last challenge . . . ). I DO think the deadline could be a little longer, maybe 5 days would be best . . . Thanks Loren for hosting this! It was fun! :D ;)
