Giveaway time, and yes, get writing.
offering a prize for a simple writing contest. Murder mystery style.
1 winner takes all, 20 steem paid by me. Who will be the judge of this contest? Erm me.
Well it is my steem after all :-).
It does not have to be a books length, but at least 250 words for a guide, and no, I am not counting them.
Make it fun, make it dark, up to you.
Typically add a few pictures for context, it helps sell the story, to me at least.
You have until this post finishes in 7 days time to join in.
Entries must be tagged with murdermystery, that will make it easier for me to find them.
Please also drop a comment if you intend to join in.
This is open to anyone. Please make it your own original work, and not a copy paste off the internet.
Please resteem if you like to spread the word, that is though not compulsory.
Neither is any upvote for this post.
With only 1 entry last time, I am hoping for a better turn out this time.
That is it, get writing, and let them creative juices flow, good luck.
Peace and over and out.
My wife has written this, which I have posted for her as she doesn't have an account herself:
https://steemit.com/fiction/@oblivioncubed/clickbait
as she's too busy chasing a toddler for an account to be of much use to her.
I would like to add this to the contest, and ask if multiple submissions from the same user are permissible or if that is against the spirit of the contest.
Thank you!

I wrote it, I enjoyed it, so do not worry if it does not qualify.
PS: I forgot to add the tag murdermystery as you requested and editing does not allow me to change tags...sorry
Here is the link:

(Just to prove me wrong, I now see the tag did change...)
As you may notice, this is the first post of mine, for a long time, which I have not denied payout or set a beneficiary. Just thought I'd take the risk for the fun of it...you'll see why I say 'risk' when you read the story.

My opinion is most contest are rigged so I don't enter them anymore. Just policy.
