Many things have changed in recent months. The way we live, the way we make plans, where we can go, how we can go, and with whom. The world has been upside down and to distract us a little while many continue in partial "lockdown", let's create a story that is related in #InAParallelUniverse that narrates events that would have happened in an alternative reality to the current BUT taking into account current events of COVID-19 times. The contest, in addition, must follow two additional rules: 1) have at least 1 (or more) chapter(s) published every week throughout the month of June. 2) Use the hashtag of this contest. You can participate with stories with chapters, stories, comics, or interactive stories; and you can apply with multiple stories at the same time. The more stories you enter the contest, the more likely you are to win. The participant fee must have a minimum of 25 participants, and we will choose 3 different winners. Don't forget to click the "participate" button and enter the participating stories, because otherwise, they won't count.

When I first knew about the contest, although there were still three days before the deadline, I thought I could not do it. I have been writing for about ten years now, but my stories usually have several chapters and at least two thousand words per chapter, so creating something so short-and in English, not even my mother tongue-was a huge challenge. About an hour before the deadline, I decided to choose a concept and go with it. I had no idea I was going to win.
Quiero expresar mi gratitud con la plataforma Inkspired, por permitirme participar de un concurso muy bien llevado, además de novedoso. (...) Estoy muy agradecida de que nos dieran la oportunidad a los escritores de este tipo de arte, a pesar que es un género contemporáneo, no es común ver concursos como "Microrrelateando". Definitivamente, es lindo sentir que nos consideran dentro de este magnífico mundo que es la literatura.
Y bueno, es la primera vez que participo en un concurso en Inkspired y aunque conservaba la pequeña esperanza de ganar, por los emotivos comentarios que habían llegado a la obra, fue para mí una verdadera sorpresa cuando el lunes recibí la noticia de que en efecto, "Iba a cortarme las venas pero fallé", había ganado el primer lugar en el concurso. Simplemente no lo podía creer, es la primera vez que gano algo de dinero por realizar lo que tanto me apasiona y en verdad agradezco el apoyo y la iniciativa que tiene esta bella plataforma para con los escritores con este tipo de incentivos. Amo escribir, amo el terror y el suspenso. Disfruté mucho escribiendo ese pequeño relato porque simplemente escribo lo que me gusta leer. Gracias Inkspired por ese tipo de concursos.
La primera vez que ingrese a la página fue gracias a una de mis autoras favoritas quien participó en el concurso "Dramatízate" y quise participar aunque ya había cerrado el plazo de inscripción, desde allí estuve atento y una vez abrió el concurso "El Culpable eres Tú" me di a la tarea de escribir "Noche de Bodas". Honestamente, y aunque lo deseaba, no creí ser uno de los ganadores puesto que escribir la historia y corregirla me llevo poco tiempo y además estuve leyendo varias historias y me parecieron muy buenas; este último hace que me sienta incluso mas orgulloso de haber quedado en segundo lugar. Me gusta el formato de los microrrelatos y la forma de los concurso de la página es muy interesante y entretenida. Gracias por hacer este tipo de concursos.
