winner — october contest and my hill, aka, queen/king of the hill

Summary

The webpage details the October challenge winner for the "Deluded Custodians" and outlines the November challenge for claiming "my hill," with a prize of $15 for the best takeover post.

Abstract

The "Deluded Custodians" community has announced Annie Trevaskis as the winner of their October challenge, with a nod to all participants. The November challenge invites writers to claim "my hill" by incorporating a piece of a previous "my hill" post into their own and writing their own takeover. The contest's winner will be determined by the number of takeovers and their position at the top of the hill by the November 30 deadline. The prize for the November challenge is $15, which is less than the previous month due to expenses for Zephyr's birthday celebration. The page also includes a 100-word story titled "Falling From Grace" and references to the Scribophile writing forum, where the concept of "my hill" originates.

Opinions

The author humorously claims a connection to Scotland and playfully challenges others to join their clan.
There is a sense of camaraderie and competition among the writers, as they vie for the title of "Queen/King of the Hill."
The use of caps lock and lowercase by "Annie" suggests a quirky and distinctive personality within the community.
The challenge is seen as a creative exercise, encouraging writers to build upon each other's work.
The prize amount is acknowledged to be modest but is justified by the celebratory expenses for Zephyr, indicating a community that values its members and traditions.

for november’s deluded custodian’s challenge, you must claim the hill as your own by taking a piece of a preceding “my hill” post (cut and paste) to a new post and write your take over of the hill.

use “my hill” in the title and at the end of your post and . . .
