Jane Austen Writing Challenge

by Princess Megan Snow Rose

Rated: ASR · Message Forum · Activity · #2017404

A Writing Challenge for all Jane Austen Fans.

Hello! Welcome to The Jane Austen Writing Challenge Contest. I am the leader of The Jane Austen Group but you don't have to be a member to participate in this challenge. I just ask that you are a fan of Jane Austen's novels. I have decided that you may use any of the challenges anytime. If you are brave, you may choose to do two of the prompts in your story. Please one story only per contestant each month. The word limit is 1,000 words or less. Entries should be over 250 words. Hope to see an entry from you here. Write for the challenge and post it here in {bitem:} form here in the forum. If there are less then five entries, I will choose one winner. If there are more then five entries, I will choose two winners. Winners get their choice of a Jane Austen Merit Badge or Pemberly Romance Merit Badge. We haven't had any entries in awhile. So when we do, I will review the items and give a Merit Badge within two weeks time.

I will give out 25K Jane Austen Ribbon or Elizabeth and Darcy Ribbon to every qualified entry. Only 1 Awardicon per author.

Do any 2 of these challenges and you will receive any Jane Austen Merit Badge of your choice on this page.
