One Vocal Story, One Vocal Challenge

Introduction

I just submitted a story to the Vocal Absurdist Awakening Challenge, and though the challenge specifies a minimum of five hundred words, because it has to be submitted to the Humor community, it was rejected because the limit for that community is six hundred words, and Vocal has not relaxed it. Maybe they will at some point.

Then I thought I could also enter it into the 500 Word Shockwave challenge, but then I realised that something had changed in Vocal Challenges.

The Vocal Challenge Designated Community

If you look at the earliest Vocal Challenges, no community is specified, you can check some of the early ones here:

This meant that you could enter a single story into multiple challenges. Every new challenge now specifies a community, and the benefit of this is that you won't see the same story twice when you read the pieces that are entered into the various challenges.

It is true that some challenges may cover similar areas, but now, for each challenge, creators require a different story. We can still reuse and adapt old stories unless Vocal specifies that the story must be new, but it is now one Vocal Story for one Vocal Challenge.

Thank you so much for reading and would love to hear your opinion.

The music is "Break The Rules" by Charlie XCX because that is something that we can't do on Vocal.
