Summer Camp 2023 Review

Summer Camp iiiiisn't quite over while I write this, but I'm happy with what I have done and don't plan on writing any more prompts. Wow! I've had an amazing time this Summer Camp; this has definitely been my favourite Summer Camp so far, which is most due to me not attempting Triple Diamond this year (nobody attempt it, seriously).

In Conclusion...

Best Summer Camp yet. Hands down. The first year was a great introduction into the community and challenges. I had only participated in the Costume Challenge before that, but Summer Camp was the first time I truly felt part of the community, hence why I am so nostalgic for it now. My second Summer Camp, in 2022, was amazing too. It was the first time I ever won a prompt, or really anything to do with writing, and it felt good. (Praying I wasn't a random pull, but if I don't ever find out I can stay proud of myself).

This year was different. Everyone was so incredibly excited, which I think is because of our severe lack of proper competitions thus far this year - a grand total of none. People were desperate to go and write, and so was I, but when does that ever change. As well, this was the first year I wasn't pressuring myself into writing a RIDICULOUS goal like triple diamond. Thank god I decided not to when we ended up with 42 prompts.

I produced articles I am genuinely so proud of - one of which even made it onto the "Featured Articles" list on my world's homepage. I only wrote two articles I'm not happy with, both of which I am immediately going to tear them apart and write something new after the Award's Ceremony.

Sponsoring

This is also the first year I have sponsored a prompt! I am terrified because I have tiny little brain goblins telling me that my art is not fit for a prize, but I am mostly ignoring them. I am sponsoring the 'species considered extinct' prompt, and I am already part way through establishing a shortlist - I have to say, it isn't very short.
