Summary

The website content discusses a writing challenge for Medium.com users, with a theme of creating a soundtrack for a hypothetical best-selling novel or screenplay produced by Netflix or Hollywood, and includes a call for submissions, a celebration of the artist Teddy Afro, and an update on challenge entries.

Abstract

The undefined website presents the "March Challenge" for writers on Medium.com, inviting them to imagine the soundtrack for their own best-selling novel or screenplay, should they take time off to write it. The challenge is playfully referred to as "deluded custodians," suggesting a tongue-in-cheek approach to the creative process. The article features a photo by Nathan Dumlao and a YouTube embed of a song by Teddy Afro, encouraging readers to engage with the music and the writing prompt. It humorously speculates on the influence of Medium.com figures like Smillew and Coach Tony, and their potential impact on the platform's wealth and culture. The text also provides an update on the challenge's progress, mentioning early submissions and the possibility of a special prize for a response by a user named Krystal, based on the number of claps received.

Opinions

  • The author uses satire to discuss the influence of Medium.com personalities, questioning if they will share their wealth and hinting at a comparison between their beards and happiness levels.
  • There is an expression of admiration for the artist Teddy Afro, with encouragement to listen to his music and let it inspire creativity.
  • The challenge itself is presented with a sense of rebellion and freedom, suggesting readers break free from constraints, dance, and embrace the idea of writing "the great un-American novel."
  • The article takes a playful jab at the idea of building an altar to Smillew to win the challenge, implying that such actions are unnecessary for participation.
  • The mention of a $20 prize for the winning entry, along with humorous and cryptic responses to potential questions, adds to the lighthearted tone of the challenge.
  • The update on the challenge's progress and the special prize tease for Krystal indicates an active and engaged community of participants.
