Writing QUEST
The last Quest was a complete success, and the number of entries surprised us but we only stick to eight winners, and you can read more about it here. As to date, we have 30 people that are eligible to join the final quest in order to get a spot into the Summer Camp and eventually @Sndbox. We will be holding at least one more quest besides this one to ensure that we have a minimum of 50 people. In case you’re new and don’t know what this is, feel free to read more about our project here and here.
As you can read from @anomadsoul’s introduction post of the quest, this time we’re focusing on Writing since we have on Steem plenty of communities built around this field with a substantial user base.

Special thanks to @Sndbox, @voronoi, and @hansikhouse for giving us the opportunity to do this.
Rules
Task One: Make an in-depth post
As in the previous quests, you will have to make a post where you are talking about your journey in the world of writing, how you started, when you started and why are you doing it, you get the idea. Also, since the final prize is a place in Sndbox, tell us why you want to be part of it, what would you do once inside and what are your overall goals. In addition to that, you will have to mention why are you using a particular style of writing in your stories and how did you end up learning it.
Task Two: Write a Story
You will have to write a story on any topic you please with a minimum length of 2000 words, this way we ensure that you know your business. Besides the number of words, we will be focusing on the quality of the story, the pacing, the grammar and other stuff like that. We will be scanning the entries with Grammarly Premium both to check them for Plagiarism and to check your writing mistakes, and after that, we will get help from other professional writers to pick the winners. You can choose any topic and any writing style you want, this way we give you total flexibility over your content.
Task Three: Make a compilation post
You will also have to create a compilation post where you include all the tasks mentioned above, so we don’t miss any of them. Make sure to use the tag #sndboxquest ONLY for the first two tasks and the tag #sndboxsummercamp ONLY for the final compilation post but do not use both in one post.
All the content must be original and made special for the Sndbox Summer Camp, the reuse of older content is prohibited.
For your posts use in the title Sndbox Summer Camp Writing - Task X (X being the number of the task you're posting about). This helps us a lot when we pick the winners.
In case you have any questions make sure to ask us down below because @anomadsoul and I will try to reply as many as possible.
The tasks might seem hard, but you will be grateful for at least trying and pushing yourself! Best of luck to those who will attempt this quest! 😊

I was wondering if it could be an issue if I post a spin-off of stories I've already posted here? I haven't posted the spin-off here, so it's totally original and unseen, but is it valid?

ok, I understand the first task, in the second task is my doubt, one has to write a story, the story is of our life or of any history in general.

Thank you so much @anomadsoul and @guyfawkes4-20 for the information.
I have being coming across the contest by sndbox but didn't put much interest as it was not my field of specialization until this one came up now.
I have three questions to ask:
1 After writing the first posts and using the tags specified above, is there any place to submit links?
2 The compilation which is the third task, what are mine to do in the compilation compilation task, it's not clear enough to me.

Hello, I just discovered this and I might not make it on time for submission. Because of the lateness, I’m wondering if I’m able to use an old piece that I wanted to rework? It’s not something that has been posted here or posted openly. I wrote it for a friend a long time ago. It’ll be original for sndbox as I’d need to change a few things. I wanted to use it for a story anyway, this might work well if I can get it cleaned up on time.

Omg...I am hopeless converting time zones. It’s actually only 8:16 PM in PST. I thought I missed it when I misread a timezone conversion.
Okay, a grateful thanks I will get to it as soon as work finishes.
