Rules: https://www.whimsyfiction.com/how-it-works




I was sold especially when I saw an alpaca on a feather. (I will be participating through December) The art in this contest is so great. 

Oh another note, I am not sure if I can consistently write whimsy? Lol. Everything that I have turned into the contest has turned darker than intended. Lol.

How do you all identify "whimsy?"]]>

It's peer-judged, 500 words.

Who's in or out? If in, what class did you pick?

I already paid for the year, so I'm in. Going for artificer this round if I don't change my mind again.]]>

Before I joined WB (sometime in 2025) a "pro" WB judge was allegedly caught using AI to judge entries and provide feedback. (The pro judged contests used to give actual written feedback?!) 

I'm salty to know there were writers having their work pasted into the Borg without their permission, with no compensation (that I know about). I am even more salty that instead of fixing the problem, it appears the "solution" was to abolish written feedback from the pro judges, which negates any way to detect if the WB pro judges are currently using AI. 

When running a business and taking people's money, there should be a level of transparency and accountability.]]>
