"Have you written a novel or chat story. Is it good?"

Our award show is split into three rounds and two categories.

We have Star Novels and Star Chat Stories.

After you submit your contribution:

• Round 1

- Submissions from users are shortlisted. Getting your submission to the shortlist is the very first step.

• Round 2: The Popular Vote

- Shortlisted submissions are then voted for by the fans (this has no effect on the winners of Round 3: The Finals). The winners of Round 2 will get a place in our Hall Of Fame.

• Round 3: The Finals

- Shortlisted submissions will be appraised by our team of judges and we will decide the winners. We have five judges and a range of awards.

FAQ: How do I submit work?

We will post forms for you to be able to fill in to submit your works to the competition each time that the competition is restarting. This will usually be in the form of a comment underneath a chapter.

FAQ: What is the judgement process?

We will read through the first 10 chapters of every submission and judge the story so far based on the following:

Characterisation, description, grammar and capability of audience captivity. We strongly advise you not to submit what many would call "a generic story".

Depending on the number of submissions each time, a shortlist will be formed. We will communicate the details about it after each run through as this may vary. We operate on a blind reading process: your number of followers is not taken into account.

To differentiate further, we read 10 more chapters of each shortlisted story and mark it against our criteria and then make the final rankings.
