Spring Fling Contest - Stories of Blossoming Love
With spring just around the corner, love is in the air! We want to hear your stories of sweet love — first kisses, rekindled romances, chance encounters, friends-to-lovers — and anything in between. This contest is open to all genres, but make sure there is a swoonworthy love story at its core. Whether it is two lovers fighting against the odds from different sides of the galaxy, former flames stuck together for a night, a beautiful maiden catching the eye of a powerful goddess, or a rake finding himself ready to settle down, we’d love to read it. Give us your best fluff!
To submit a story to the contest, have three episodes posted publicly on the app by April 27th and use the tag #22sfcontest when posting your story in the app.
Stories will be judged by the Maybe team and the winners will be announced May 12th.
All participants will receive 50 diamonds. In addition to the diamonds, winning stories will also be featured on the Maybe app and receive editorial feedback from the Maybe team.
Note that Maybe will be using contests as a way to vett writers for future community writer partnerships.
Browse the Maybe Forum for how-to guides from the app, as well as notes from the editor on best practices for writing great interactive stories.
We look forward to reading your submissions!

Yes, I did.
And I just checked again and I think it now shows on the list. The problem seems to have solved itself... 🤔
Thank you for your support! 🙏
Hello! I got another question. I published a novel for the contest but I don't see it in the list when I search by #22sfcontest . I checked the spelling, and all the other tags work. Why could it be?
Can I ask, when exactly is the deadline? 🙂 What time, which timezone?
Hello
I have a question regarding the contest.
Can we publish paid chapters for the contest?
Hello, it's me again. I hope you forgive me to ask many question. By the way, how do we make the sound of the cellphone vibrate in the visual novel that we make? I can't find it in a music menu. I read all the guide, but none of it explain it (Sorry if I made a mistake and didn't pay close attention) That's all Thank you very much
In case this was not clear in the original post:
Only visual novels (=interactive stories) qualify for the Spring Fling Contest. Text novels are automatically excluded, even if they are written with the #22sfcontest hashtag.
Hello, there is something I want to ask.
If we make our own story from text-novel which we ever published on Maybe App to be video-novel to join the Contest is it okay?
Or is it also a plagiarisme?
Thank you
Does our contest entry have to be submitted as a completed story or can it still be ongoing?
