Scoring Categories There are two general types of scoring categories—Word Count Scoring (three categories) and Story Content Scoring (five categories). (Total scoring categories: eight.)
Word Count Scoring: 1️⃣ Aces: Write stories that are 100–399 words. One point is given to each story that is between 100 and 399 words. (Total points possible: 5.) 5️⃣ Fives: Write stories that are 400–699 words. Five points are given to each story that is between 400 and 699 words. (Total points possible: 25.) 7️⃣ Sevens: Write stories that are more than 700 words. Seven points are given to each story that is over 700 words. (Total points possible: 35.)
🎉 Bonus: If every story is an exact multiple of 100 (for example, three stories are submitted and the story lengths are exactly 100 words, exactly 200 words, and exactly 100 words), you score an additional 10 points. (Bonus points possible: 10.)
Story Content Scoring: Prose submissions for Story Content Scoring should be at least 100 words. 3️⃣ Three of a Kind: Write three stories that feature the same character(s). 20 points. 4️⃣ Four of a Kind: Write four stories that feature the same character(s). 25 points. 🎭 Full House: Write a combination of angst/sorrow and fluff/happy—two stories must evoke one emotion (e.g., angst or sorrow, a bittersweet ending, etc.), and three stories must evoke the other (e.g., fluffy or happy, a comedy, etc.). 30 points. 🎯 Large Straight: Write a linked story using all five prompts—all five prompts must connect to tell a united story (a Five Things Fic would be an example of this or a work containing 5 chapters; there must be 5 submissions or chapters, not one story that includes all five prompts). 40 points. 🎲 Yahtzee: Write five stories that are the exact same length (within 10 words) and are about the same character(s). 50 points.
