Crying over writing, laughing over writing. Monoka Kingdom 2023👑 Eve Festival

Hey, it's the eve festival.

I've been touting this as a serious showdown in the writing championship (and there's no doubt about that), but even so, it's a festival after all.When Shinsuke Shimada created the M-1 Grand Prix, he also imagined a bit more of a "festival vibe." Before I knew it, it had become a life-changing tournament where young comedians get nervous enough to throw up.

Rest assured. Your life won't change because of Monoka Kingdom (lol). I'd like to grow it into that kind of event in the future, but it's impossible to do it all at once.

It's getting a decent response, so it's not like there's no buzz. But you won't rise to stardom on note overnight. So, why write? Where is the significance in participating? Because I want you to have a serious showdown.My catchphrase is "You should just write however you like," but...

After all, there are winners there.

The literary world is the same, isn't it? Just as aspiring writers can't help but be conscious of the Akutagawa and Naoki Prizes. As if that were a passport to becoming a lifelong writer. There should be such a gateway to success on note, or rather, a prize race where people are intensely conscious of each other and hone their skills together.

I know. Those who say they don't care if they aren't read are secretly harboring a deep desire to be read.

I can tell. Those who say they aren't doing it for likes or followers are checking their numbers every day. Yes, people cannot live without ignoring the evaluation of others.Because we are social animals. Because we are creatures who want to be praised no matter how old we get.

That's why I created this contest.

Usually, you should write at your own pace. You should write what you like, the way you like. Because that becomes training for writing. Because there is no athlete who enters a match without training.But, once a year. Wouldn't it be nice to have a place where you can pour out those results to your heart's content?

I can hear the footsteps. Crossing the boundaries of memberships, crossing the boundaries of schools. The footsteps of warriors who love to write and want to test their skills.

Someone said. Writing is one thing, but I'm looking forward to reading everyone's serious efforts too much. That's right. Anyone can read, but only those who have written can participate (can vote).Since you're at it, let's write, because that will surely make for a more fun Christmas.

The results will be announced on the 24th (Sun), which coincidentally is the same day as the M-1 Grand Prix.

After watching the M-1, you'll surely think. Ah, I want to have a serious showdown like that. I want to be a participant, not a bystander. I want to cry and laugh through writing.That place exists. Here on note, where you are working. The entry deadline is the 14th (Thu) at 23:59. Yes, that's tomorrow.

Just like with M-1, the first-ever champion is talked about forever. And there is only one chance this year to become that person.

There is only one way to participate,add the hashtag "#MonokaKingdom2023", that's it.Among the articles you've written in these past two weeks (since 12/1), isn't there one that fits the theme "warm"? Is there a story you can compete with lying dormant? If you say "Oh, if it's that, I could have done it too" later, it will be too late.

A festival is not something to watch, but something to participate in.

Let's write "First Monoka Kingdom Champion" in your profile. You tried, but you didn't have enough strength. What was missing? What was different about that writer? It's frustrating. But,as a writer, it feels somewhat refreshing.Let's welcome the end of the year and the beginning of the new year with that mindset. Because that will surely be your starting point.
