Join our Discord Writing Event — Honey-chan’s Wondrous Workshop!

Welcome one and all to Honey-chan’s Wondrous Workshop! With so many competitions as of late, Honey-chan thought that you might want a break from the fast-paced atmosphere of the Honeyfeed contests to focus on a collaborative event. Which is why we’re happy to announce the beginning of a new Hive Event, Honey-chan’s Wondrous Workshop!

The idea is sweet and simple. Sign up for the Hive Event using our form by February 5th if you wish to participate.

Event form can be found here.

In this form, you will let us know your preferences like when you’re most likely to be available to take your turn in writing and which one of our three prompts you are most interested in. After all participants have signed up, you will be assigned into teams based on your preferences. Then, people in each team will be taking turns writing one chapter for the story that fits the prompt you’ve been assigned until the story is completed. Once a week, each team’s story will be posted on Honeyfeed through our official account!

When filling in your availability, we ask that you be mindful of any uncertainties. If there's any uncertainty about your schedule, feel free to skip ticking that box. We want to make sure you're scheduled at your most convenient time. Note that, while we will try our best to match everyone to the prompt they like best, there is no guarantee we’ll be able to please everyone. Your understanding and flexibility are truly appreciated!

Sign-up closes on February 5, 2024.

Find all the contest submission rules at our official Honeyfeed Discord Server.

The MAL x HF 2023 contest ends in 7 days! [Checklist]

This year's MyAnimeList x Honeyfeed Writing Contest novel submission period closes this next Thursday, August 31st. If you are participating in this contest, here's a checklist of important things to remind yourself of what your novel needs to be eligible for the judging process.

Your novel's protagonist is a male character and the story is told from the male POV.

Your novel revolves mostly around romance, where the MC's main focus is to have a wholesome romantic relationship. Love is in the air most of the time, and it's the main drive of your story.

On your Author's Note, it should clearly say what subplot and theme you are entering. If your novel does not display the subplot "Isekai" or "Present-Day" accompanied by the appropriate themes it will get automatically disqualified. For Isekai, the themes are RPG or High Fantasy. For Present-Day, the themes are Chance Encounter or Teenage Love.

Example of how a subplot and theme should look like on your contest entry Author's Note:

Note about Author's Note:

If you deleted the auto-text input from your author's note from your novel when entering the contest, you can manually input it again by following the exact format shown in the example above. Please keep in mind that if your novel does not have this information in the author's note by August 31, 2023, your entry is automatically disqualified.

Note about the Isekai subplot:

All Isekai subplot entries must follow the Isekai trope of arriving into another world by reincarnation, summoning, ritual, portal, curse, etc., and the protagonist can not easily go back to the "real world" or "jump between worlds" willingly. The MC can not just be an original local from that fantasy land. The only exception to this is that your protagonist is locked inside a video game world while his body is inactive in the real world or controlled by another consciousness other than the MC's. The "being isekai'd" is a must for this type of contest entry.

Note about RPG theme:

All RPG entries must have LitRPG elements or a videogame characteristic clearly presented in the story. These RPG concepts are leveling systems, skill points, skill trees, scores, ranks, health bars, experience-gaining, video-game-like menus, etc.

Note about the Present-Day subplot:

All Present-Day subplot novels must be set in a contemporary real world, meaning that your character is living on planet Earth in the year 2023. Mentions of supernatural elements are okay when sparse and are not the main focus of the story. Things like ghosts, aliens, spirits, illusions, wishes, miracles, etc. are okay in moderation, but things like fantasy creatures and magic being real are less okay. The use of fantasy elements in Present-Day entries will be discussed case by case by the judges.

4. Your Novel is not published anywhere else other than Honeyfeed until October 30th, 2023 (for non-finalists).

Note about Finalists:

Those novels that make it to the finalist 10 can not be posted outside of Honeyfeed until the winners are revealed in December 2023. If your finalist novel is discovered to be posted on another website before the winners are announced, it will be automatically disqualified from the finalists vote. 

5. Your novel has an appealing synopsis.

6. Your novel has a cover image with the appropriate artist credit.

Note about copyrighted images:

You can not just get an "image off the internet" and use it as your novel cover without the author's explicit consent. If you are found using a copyrighted image that does not belong to you, your novel will be automatically disqualified. In some cases, we may ask for proof of purchase of the art or the artist's direct contact information. Please use AI-generated art at your own risk.

Note about Canva:

Canva is free and it is available directly on the Honeyfeed site. Please use it if you don't want to pay for art.

7. Your chapters were not all posted on the same day.

8. Your novel's main plot point was resolved within 25,000 words minimum or 75,000 words maximum.

Note about min/max wording limits:

Honeyfeed is flexible if your novel is a few hundred words short or over. Your story doesn't have to make it exactly at 25k/75k words when its finished. A few words under or over is okay, just don't abuse the flexibility and be safe by complying with the limits as best as you can.

9. Your novel reaches a satisfactory ending or volume closure by August 31, 2023.

10. You do not update your novel after August 31, 2023.

Note about updating Author's Note or Cover Image:

When you update your novel's cover or author's note, Honeyfeed does not know where the update happened so it marks it as a new entire novel update. When updating either of those, the novel will appear as updated after August 31st. If you update your author's note, please do not delete the subplot or theme. If you update your novel cover, please do not leave your novel coverless. If you do end up updating any of those after Aug.31, please leave a small note on your Author's Note with what has been updated on what date, so that the judges know what got updated. Judges do not have backend access to Honeyfeed.

We invite you to re-read all of the MAL x Honeyfeed Writing Contest details and rules.
