How It Works & FAQ

1. Choose Your Battle

View & Unlock available battles in the Arena. When your battle opens, it's time to start writing!

2. Choose Your Hive

3. Select 2 Prompts & Write Your Story

Work on your draft until you're ready to submit. Your HIVE & Prompt selection will not be locked until you save your draft. Stories will be limited by the word count as counted by our submission box.

4. Get Feedback in betaHive

Share your draft with the betaHive community to receive valuable feedback and suggestions before final submission.

5. Submission & Peer-Judging

Join monthly WRITE ONLY prompts & peer workshops, then upload your favorite story from that quarter (or write a new story using the prompts) into our LAST STORY STANDING battle box! Participants read and judge story matches from other hives, with the results displayed in real time on our Battle Scoreboard. Battlers earn points for every story match judged, unlocking access to future prize battles!
