Light Novelber 2019
Do you like light novels? Want to make your own? Or part of your own? Or just make a small thing tangentially related to one, like a small interactive text thing or a cover mock-up? You're in the right place!
Light Novelber is a celebration of art, writing, community creations, queer stories and silly light novel titles. In the form of a jam that lasts the whole month!
Here's a chance to try your hand at something creative in a safe, supportive environment and help us put more cute stories out into the world. <3
Theme
Need a theme to get you started? How about: PACING YOURSELF! A lot of light novels often differentiate themselves from most other popular fiction stories by focusing on easygoing slice-of-life topics. Not everything needs to be taken care of right now; sometimes it's alright to do just what we can in the moment, and take our time.
Entry Format
There's lots of ways to contribute!
- Short story
- Single chapter
- 1-3 chapters as a preview of a longer work in progress story
- Book cover
- Comic
- Art collection
- Interactive fiction (e.g. twine story)
- ...and anything in-between, illustrated or not!
- Even if you just write the beginning of something you want to continue later, that's already plenty! Please pace yourself too.
