For me, the judging for the March #TwistedTournament is now complete 😊 ... The standard of entries was very high, meaning that it was sometimes difficult to choose 1 over another 🤔😱 I'm now looking forward to the 13th, 14th and 15th of April to see my own results and feedback 💜❤️😎 #WritingCommunity
Astoria’s cr*p week (literally) isn’t improving. ⬇🧵
She hasn’t even started construction of her 500-word #TwistedTournament story (due in 16 hours).
‘What even is ‘cosy vampire genre’ anyway?’ she wonders.

My first #twistedtournament prompt: "Cosy Execution." I might be re-rolling that one...
My story Violet Flames has been published in the new Twisted Mag, if anyone fancies reading it or other fab stories you can find it here twistedtournament.com/magazine
Happy reading 😎

My #TwistedTournament #100Word story wasn't my strongest this time but I still scored 8.34 😎 when added to 8.95 for my R1 #500Word 😎 & 9.22 for my R2 #250Word 😎this gave me an overall score of 26.51 bringing me in at 11th place across all 3 rounds 🎊🎉 (my best result yet) 🎊🎉💜❤️😎
I came 7th overall in my group for #twistedtournament, a multi round flash fiction competition. I'm pretty chuffed with that :)
I competed in the #TwistedTournament #WritingCompetitions this year & have signed up for 2026 💜❤️😎 Each quarter you get 3 challenges of #500Words #250Words & #100Words with a selection of prompts, so 3 chances of winning 🤔😎

For me, the judging for the November #TwistedTournament is now complete. The standard of entries was very high, meaning that it was sometimes difficult to choose 1 over another 🤔😱 I'm now looking forward to the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of December when I see my own results and feedback 💜❤️😎

Now the wait begins.
Day 42
#43daysofwritinginsanity is coming to a close. In the midst of the #twistedtournament. Completed my 500 & 250 word stories. And have a good jump start on my 100.
No #500WordChallenge2025 Finals for me this time around, but I did earn an HM.
I'll take it. Competition is fierce.
#contestgoblin
#250Word #TwistedTournament story complete (Though I still have some time to tweak it) 😎 ... I think I landed lucky with my prompts that suited my brain & gave me a relatively painless flow through Ideation, Creation and Editing 💜❤️😎 ... Next are the prompts tomorrow for the #24Hour #100Word story 🤔😱
Busy day today creating a #250 word story for the #TwistedTournament 😎... During my story resting time (while I let my subconscious consider the narrative and scream at me either 'That's Good' or 'WTF' 🤔😂😂) I found this #CreativeHumour 🎼🎵🎶💜❤️😎
Hour 2 (sort of?): 9am
The story has written itself. Time to type.
Yes. I do write the short ones by hand first.

Rounds 1 & 2 submitted. #Twistinthetale

That's a wrap on the #500Word #TwistedTournament story ... Thankfully, compared to last weekends rhyming story, this felt like a relatively painless flow through Ideation, Creation and Editing 💜❤️😎 ... Now to await the dropping of the potential prompts tomorrow for the #48Hour #250Word story 🤔😱
I wasn't sure I'd get through to R2 of the NYC Rhyming comp so having a long weekend with that, & straight into the #TwistedTournament #WritingCompetition is a shock to the system 🤔😱 ... Going to be another busy 6 days #CreativeWriting & 8 days #PeerJudging 💜❤️😎
Good luck to everyone taking part 🍀🤞😎
Day 30-something
#43daysofwritinginsanity is wrapping up this week.
Submitted to #FuriousFiction and #RhymingStoryChallenge today. The Rhyming was particularly challenging for me and I was waaaaay out of my comfort zone. Happy to get something in though. On to #twistedtournament
#contestgoblin
"Yearning" was a fun prompt for round 3 of #TwistedTournament. I wrote FALLING IN GLOVE (100 words).
Managed to crack the top 10 for the first time in @twistinthetale.bsky.social for my third round story “Are You a Parking Ticket?”, which got a clean sweep of ’most heartfelt‘ trophies, amongst others. ❤️
Also clawed my way onto the final leaderboard—20th overall! 🥳
#twistedtournament
Not bad!
I landed somewhere in the middle of the pack. An average score, if you will. But looks at those trophies!

Not too bad a result in #Twistedtournament with final score of 24.97 and 14th place in my group for R3.
It’s that dang 500 that I just never score well in. Aim to improve that in the November tourney.
“Uh-oh, did Bitsy make a wee-wee?”
That is the least of Jen's problems in THE DREAD TOOTLING (499 words), written for round 1 of #TwistedTournament
(Bitsy did, in fact, make a wee-wee.)
Display of some of the top scores in the Twisted Tournament competition. S.A. McNaughton is in 13th place with 9.14 points.
13th! My best finish yet in @twistinthetale.bsky.social #TwistedTournament!
Plus:
1x Best Last Line 🎭
1x Most Heartfelt 💔
4x Funniest 😂
1x Best Title 📖
(I shared anonymously and don't seem to be able to change that setting - it's called The Dread Tootling.)
Reading so many good stories and interesting ideas people come up with in both #Twistedtournament Feedback Festival and #Writingbattle summer nano debrief. Really enjoying the variety.
TT judging done and weekly Side Quest submitted. There are some great writers and stories out there. Brain fried but it’s been fun!
#Twistedtournament #Twistinthetale #Flashfiction 🐉🥂
And the #PeerJudging of my assigned #TwistedTournament #NanoFiction is complete 🤔💜❤️😎 ... It's always interesting to see other #CreativeWriters styles & how they have interpreted their respective prompts 🤔
Good luck to everyone taking part 🤞🍀😎
#WritingCommunity #CreativeWriting #WritersAndEdtors
It is done...
To be fair, I'd submitted my story around 6 hours before deadline. I made very few tweaks. And, again, I'm rather pleased with the outcome.
