In this event, you write a story along with one other writer. This event is not about winning. By this event, we, watchers, hope that there’s going to be a lot of learning, sharing and fun. More than anything, new friendships at ArtoonsInn.
Let’s go with this step by step.
Step 1:
Choose your writing partner. Ping and invite them to form a team before June 3rd, 23:00 IST. Now, give your team a unique, memorable name. Make a grand announcement together in the Writers Room to let everyone know you’re ready! Watchers will take note of your team.
Step 2:
Collaborate with your teammate to create an intriguing writing prompt that’s open to all genres. Email your prompt to wr*****@********nn.com before June 5th 23:00 IST. This step is not mandatory, but watchers expect your creativity.
Step 3:
Watchers will announce the best of the prompts including those written by them on June 6th. You can write for any.
Step 4:
Work together to craft a story based on the chosen prompt. Support each other by reviewing for errors, refining grammar, or tightening the plot—how you collaborate is up to you!
Step 5:
Follow the standard Writers Room event rules for story submission.
