WHAT IS THE WRITELINK SUPER CHALLENGE?

Each month we'll be setting a new contest for a short story, poem or non-fiction article similar to that which takes place in the current Arena.

[More:]

The difference is that only standard Super Writer members will be able to enter! Super Writers will be equivalent to current Spotlighted Writers.

Non-Spotlighted Writers will have their own contest. (See Writelink Challenge).

Very interesting: how do you get to be a Super writer? And when will these contests be launched?

Super writers will be manually upgraded from Writer level. On the main site when a Writer gets spotlighted they upgrade to that level automatically. This is O.K. in theory, but in practice doesn't work very well as members tend to be very generous with the star rating system that triggers Spotlight status.

When the blog site takes over from the existing site, Writers will have to have won the Writelink Challenge, (that's for Writer level, have won an open competition elsewhere, or been published in main stream magazines or small press. (Proof will be required).

The idea is that the better writers will compete against each other and level things up for emerging writers.

Super Writers will not be allowed to enter the Challenge only the Super Challenge, although they will be allowed to judge both.

These contests will launch when the blog site takes over from the existing site. I've had to set them up as our programmer needs them to be in existence so that he can incorporate them in the new site template that is being designed.

It depends! Those that I'm aware of have had their accounts created on the new site so that they are able to enter the Super Challenge. Obviously I don't know all of the Spotlighted Writers so when we are ready to go live I will send out an email asking everyone to check their status and let me know if they are in the wrong competition!
