Dear princesa, please i will like to inquire if you are one of the writers on Love Sex & Marriage page on IG? There is a storyline with the Same title & Similar plot like Taking Chances on their IG page, pardon me been inquisitive

Not at all I'm not. This is my first time hearing about them. would gocheck it out

Firstgentleman1:

It was the greatest honour having you judge my work. Started following your work as far back as 2014.. You are a real inspiration

Aww... Speechless, Thanks

Congratulations to the winners, it was an honor having to judge your stories...
Remember Writing does pay,
So Stay imaginative...

IamLegend... Love your reviews, they were honest and constructive, it added spice to this competition, keep it up..

kinwayne:

Will definitely send in today, sorry i couldn't make it yesterday..
...reading up...

The name though... Is seun also sponsoring the competition?

I really wish I could pick up to 10 entry so that they could further prove themselves in the next round.
Maybe kinswayne can reconsider?

Anyways... these are my picks in no particular order (Twas quite difficult leaving out some entries tho )
1. Tears fall ... Hazkel
2. When the devil drives ... Barricade
3. Story ...sofiamrozia
4. Desolate ... firstgentleman1
5. stone wall ... Larrysun
6. story ... prahcetomic
7. story ... exislove

Yeah, not all submitted. I counted around 30 stories or more...

jacko007:



don't you think he has a reason for saying so ?

Saying what please?

Anyways, I'm guessing not all 70 people submitted their entry..

kinwayne:

I sincerely apologize to the two participants that I'm yet to post their stories. I would do that tomorrow.

The second stage of the competition would begin on Friday, 7th of July.

The judges are advised to read through the stories and pick out their best. Each judge is to pick up to 7 stories and these stories would be made known on Friday, 7th of July also.

Thanks

7 stories is way too little to be selected from a submission of over 70 stories, that is like picking 10 percent out of it all.. But this is not the finals and the writers still have another stage to go through.

I'd suggest yo bring it up to 20... its fairer that way.

the 2o would move to the next stage and from there, 7 best stories will be picked then you make your own cut...

How about that?

...

**Still waiting to read**

That is a long list of name.....like whoa!

Encouraging.

**following**

Nice initiative kinswayne, kudous to you.

Never mind side talks and push forward...




*Seats down to enjoy the ride*

kingphilip:

how about our previous sponsor.. If he's still willing and ready I think immediately after divepen1 gets a solution to the plagiarism issue the award can kick off

I can't say until I get in touch. But of course sponsorship is open to anyone. It's not limited.

jezuzboi:

The same thing that once gave life to it; A COMPETITION with a N10,000 grand price this time. How about that?

That's huge and cool. I guess sponsorship is the next issue.

kingphilip:

as we no de see your branches again now na im make me ask

Lol, my branches may grow out of Nairaland for a while, but my root remains here

kingphilip:

Sort of... I can't forget my root

KimberlyWest:

Congratulations divepen. I have always admired your passion for this section. It was long over due

Yeah I guess... What would it take?
