The Iron Bank of Braavos  (13+) For G.o.T. Activity #1994693 by Gaby

"Game of Thrones"  Hello fellow writer. My name is Sandra. I am one of the sly foxes.Title: No Dialogue Contest First Impression: This presents an interesting challenge. Writers are prompted to write without any dialogue whatsoever in their pieces. So often, we concentrate upon speech because it defines who we are and what we say and do. Speaking is our main form of communication. We speak when we share oral stories. The creator also states that the entries must be short stories with a maximum word count of seven hundred. No poetry is accepted or anticipated. This would be an intriguing challenge.What needs your attention: I cannot think of anything to suggest for improvements. I have never created and/or hosted a contest. The ones I have entered I accept the stated rules and comply.What part I liked best: The contest specifications are explained succinctly and easy to comprehend. The idea of no dialogue is stressed and examples are provided for edification. The expectation of short stories is emphasized and no poetry is specifically expressed. The rewards are presented in a legible manner. The creator states that spelling and grammar are judging criteria. Reviews of submitted pieces are not promised reviews. No promises are made. Even assistance with the mechanics of linking is offered. I like that any genre is acceptable. This permits the writers to expand their possible entries and perhaps stretch their imaginations. I interpret this as encouragement. No one is coerced or bullied for their entries/attempts. I also like the brief, but sunny line " Have fun." Yes, do not stress over the creative process, or the contest entering.Overall Impression: This is a fantastic contest to consider entering. What have any of us to lose? Thank you for allowing me to read your work. It has been my pleasure. What doe the fox say???
