Writers Spotlight

OpiWrites is this week's spotlight writer. Everyone's been afk working on their contest submissions, so don't blame Opi for not writing much this month. Opi is very active on the sub.

you should seriously check out his subreddit at /r/OpiWrites, it's full of good stuff and dedicated continuations. (I'm slacking today /u/Galokot)

You can ask them a question. Just put "Hey, /u/OpiWrites," in your comment to get their attention. As always, be polite.

• [WP] The villain wins and everything is better. Turns out he had a point.

• [WP] An RPG character isn't aware the he is in a game. That is, until, the player starts installing increasingly ridiculous mods.

• [WP] You and your friends are in the middle of a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. Your character goes through a portal in-game and appears right beside you in real life.

• [WP] The laws of reality are actually a cosmic game of telephone. Every day, one random human that dies gets to change the current rules of existence in a way that doesn't contradict the wording of previous amendments. Then they get to watch what happens for the rest of eternity.

• [OT] Writing Workshop #26: World Building

• [IP] Times Garden on Kepler

• [WP] You begin to realise you're in a dream. You try to wake yourself up, but the dream wants to keep you here.

• [WP] The year is 4016 and you're a cop in New Atlantis, investigating a string of crimes by an elusive cult calling themselves The Americans.

A lot of people wonder how I choose the spotlight. Well, quite often I just grab a prompt on the front page some time between Friday and Sunday and look for a good story that is by a writer we haven't put in the limelight before. If I find one I like, I search that writer's history for past contributions to the sub and see if they fit the critera of effort (multiple decent entries - at least 6 or more - over the past few months.) It can be quite random who is selected, though they are none the less deserving.

You, the reader, can help us in this process, by removing me (almost) from the equation by sending us a modmail on who you'd like to see in the spotlight. I (or another mod covering for me) gets to make the final call, but I have yet to turn down a suggestion, unless they are HoF destined. Keep in mind that we use the spotlight for the less reddit-famous (think Luna or Alpaca) and the more..."working up to it" type. - Nate

Our Chat Room

Why aren't you chatting with us yet?

Come hang out in the chat room. We have word sprints and lively talks at all hours of the day and night. Come join the conversation! Also, you never know when a flash prompt contest may occur! Get in on the fun!

Hope to see you there!

[u/FireWitch95]

O/Opi! Congrats man. Now a question; is there a time of day you prefer to write in?

[u/OpiWrites → u/FireWitch95]

Not really, but how my schedule works out is that it often happens in the afternoon or late at night. If anything, I like the middle of the night, since there's no distractions to draw you away from writing! (Other than yourself, of course)

[u/SurvivorType]

HUGE congratulations, u/OpiWrites!!!

[u/ManEatingCatfish]

Conflagarations u/OpiWrites, you've earned it. But regardless of your quality and your quantity, you'll always be the goddamn lazy cleric who decided to get minor illusion and other random carp and then wasted our XP by bringing along a bunch of reraised gobl- ahem- to me.

[u/OpiWrites → u/ManEatingCatfish]

Yes, yes, I know you were romantically interested in the carp, so I apologize for stealing her. As for the goblins, had they had the long life they deserved, I'm sure that XP would have been more than worth it! Thanks for the conflagrations, I'm not sure I want to accept them. Fire hurts, you know.

[u/Galokot]

Well deserved Opi, I loved your Black Friday story the most.

To folks passing by this comment, you should seriously check out his subreddit at r/OpiWrites, it's full of good stuff and dedicated continuations.

[u/Nate_Parker → u/Galokot]

Added, you can flog me later.

[u/JustLexx]
