Chapter 54: On the Way to the Selection of Novels......
Generally, there are only three steps in the selection of novels, that is, the preliminary review, the review, and the final review.
The preliminary review is to read the submitted articles roughly to confirm that the word count and content meet the requirements, so as to brush off a large number of entries that do not meet the requirements.
The second review is to carefully read and distinguish the submitted articles, and carefully read the content to see whether the work has the characteristics of innovation, writing and all aspects.
The last final review is the time to determine the winner of the big prize, but sometimes not all awards have winners, such as in many essay competitions held by the library, there will be a vacancy for the gold prize.
As a result, not all awards in fiction competitions will be won, which greatly reduces the number of writers who can make their debut with a prize.
But because of this, with endless possibilities, it is not impossible to produce good works.
There is fierce competition, there are excellent works, and no one can deny this.
For example, this time, the [Generation Light Novel Essay Contest] jointly held by the three major libraries, there are thousands of undrafted manuscripts, and the number of people who can get rewards for their debut is only five or six, which shows that the odds are slim and the competition is fierce.
In any case, there are not many writers who want to become famous in one fell swoop, and everyone participates in the competition with the mentality of winning awards and working hard.
Half-hung can't get any results, which Sayu knows quite well.
When I was writing before, Sayou didn't find time to do other things, but to create wholeheartedly, linking all the things that came to mind and the system gave all the perfect links.
"My Youth Love Story Really Has a Problem" only wrote the first volume, which also met the rules of the competition.
However, for such a novel, the first volume of "Spring Things" cannot show its charm, if you want to say why, of course, because of its really excellent content and charm, it must be read in several volumes coherently to be more interesting.
Therefore, there will be a little disadvantage at the beginning of the competition of "Spring Things".
Although it is not clear which excellent works are currently in the entries, Sasuke does not think that all of them are bad and ordinary works, and there will definitely be quite good light novels.
That said, it's challenging.
If he doesn't get any awards this time, it should be an obstacle for Sayu.
Although many literary critics have said in the face of light novels, 'even if you fail, you must continue to aim for the same big prize', but this competition is unique, and who knows if there will be a second one.
Moreover, the competition jointly held by the three major libraries can be described as an unprecedented prosperity, and if you can make your debut with this, I am afraid that it will be very smooth in the future.
However, how things will play out, Sayu does not know.
The system can help, but it's not invincible, and even if Sayou asks for a future prediction, it will be stopped by various reasons.
It's like predicting the future with guò 'fruit body singing the song of the elephant upside down', even if it can be predicted, Sayu will never do it.
Then that's just a matter of waiting.
The review of the novel is quite strict, so Sasuke will not take chances, whether it is failure or success, Sasuke will not be hit by this.
Success is good, but failure is not despairing.
Even if he loses to those new novelists as a time-traveler, Sayu has no complaints.
No one can deny that human innovation is infinite.
Therefore, when Sayou uses the results of the system to himself, others will also innovate more excellent themes and content at the same time, a mountain is higher than a mountain, and the person who stands at the top may not always be the same person.
Looking at the time on his phone, Sayu, who went out on holidays, came to this venue.
It is a square directly opposite Kitazawa Station, and it is surrounded by many large buildings, making it one of the most prosperous areas in the city.
As far as the eye could see, there were many people standing in a long line at the entrance of a gymnasium, and this long line was slowly moving towards the venue, and the number of people began to decrease.
Has it already begun?
Sayo crossed the street and came to the end of the line after dodging some of the running teenagers.
Originally, I planned to come with Lin Xuan and Haicheng, but they all seemed to have things going on today, and all of them came alone.
At first, Sayou thought about inviting Jiushi or Yiye, but soon realized that his idea was too inappropriate.
Jiushi won't mention it first, just inviting Yi Ye itself is a problem.
The question of whether the editor promised to agree or not was put aside, and she couldn't even think of the original invitation Sasuke.
It is estimated that as soon as she opens her mouth, she will be pressed back by the editor's lady.
In addition to the above two, there seems to be a Miss Kawasumi of 10,000-year-old Lori, but I heard that she has to dub "Fate/Staynight" recently, and she is very busy with work, so it is impossible to find time to accompany Sayu.
So, after excluding everyone, Sayu came here alone.
Today, it is the time to display part of the content of the entries that have been reviewed, and as long as you go inside, you can see if you have passed the review.
Of course, there is also this information on the Internet, but Sayu came in person to see if there was a review of the pass, but also to see the popularity vote on the spot.
Of course, the final review of this competition is still a matter for the judges, but it is also meaningful to vote on the popularity of some of the content after the review.
Maybe the judges will change their views because of the popularity, and the potential of the work will be revealed, and finally give praise.
The number of enthusiastic readers who came to the scene plus Sasuke may be several thousand, and the scale of the number is very large.
Before entering, after paying a small ticket fee, you can receive a voting machine, and you can vote according to the work number.
Getting the voting machine, Sayou began to look for the name of "Spring Things".
Very good, the penultimate one above, appeared in the words ["My Youth Love Story Really Has a Problem" Number: 3oo], it seems that it is a review of Guò.
Vote for yourself first, Sayou doesn't plan to do any hypocrisy, and if you can get one vote, one vote is one vote.
And among these people, it is estimated that there are many authors who participated.
Some even came out openly and communicated with other authors, which was very lively.
Voting is indefinite, about 30 minutes or so, and there is a noisy atmosphere during this time.
The officials in charge of organizing the event also maintained order very well, and time began to pass slowly.
At the end of voting, the Sayo Tong Guò voting machine checked the current ranking.
["My Youth Love Story Really Has a Problem" Number: 3oo] Received votes - 862 votes.
[nogamenoLIFe number: 462] received 862 votes.
Seeing this, Sayou laughed, this world, and this competition, seems to be quite interesting.
