 |  | Space Wars  [13+] There is a war going on in outer space and the aliens need your help to bring peace!  |
| (4.0)| Hallo Angelica Weatherby- NaNo 14000 ! I will be reviewing your work "Space Wars" for House Targaryen on behalf of "Game of Thrones"  Pluses: First impressions always matter, and the cover image you've used clearly showcases exactly what this contest is supposed to be about: space and all the possible shenanigans that can occur there if we only use our imagination. Now, while the summary of the forum states: 'There is a war going on in outer space and the aliens need your help to bring peace', there is more to the activity than that. This is a monthly activity with a new prompt given each time, and in this case, I have to say that is quite a unique one. Based on the main prompt, you pose several questions in relation to it, and writers are given the opportunity to give solutions to the questions. Those answers should be no more than 1,000 words and of course rating below 13+ The prizes are quite generous considering not much is required and you award based on how well the writer is able to be creative with their responses. Suggestions:Here are a few things I noticed while reading. Please remember that these are only my suggestions/opinions and it's ultimately up to you to choose what works best. So, it appears this contest has been run for quite some time, but the entries haven't that been much sadly.  I am sure there are many folks who enjoy sci-fi, or even if they don't, will have an active enough imagination to respond to the prompts. So, why aren't folks popping in to participate? One thing I can suggest is making the forum a bit more appealing - presentation wise - might seem trivial, but the human mind is attracted to the visual first - especially welcoming images/colors that make them want to know more. We are 'lucky' to now be able to come up with images we like with the use of AI programs, so you can always create a nice welcome header image for the forum. Second, try to make your rules and instructions etc, stand out with bigger font sizes. Let the prizes also stand out, so anyone coming in can jump in to see what it's all about. Last but not least, promote the heck out of it. On your notebook feed, on the activities/writing page (as I saw the link there) and even visiting members - especially new writers - and posting on their notebook as well; inviting them to participate.   You've got a good thing going here, so keep at it and hope it gets more and more participation in the future!
