Hi, since yesterday, I've been facing problems uploading my completed work. The page just kept bouncing back to the homepage, unable to process my request. Is there any other way to submit my work?
Hi Richelle, we updated our web with improvements and fixes on Friday. If you've logged in before and logged in again after Friday, the cache might give you some problems. If you clear the cache or use the browser in incognito mode, it should work fine again. Please let me know if that solves it! You can also use our apps to upload your work. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Can anyone tell that the topic is "how you spent your 2016 and how you want 2017 to be? " Right? with any genre...
Hi! Yes, you can go two ways. Either write a story about your experiences in 2016, or take this as a starting point to continue your story in 2017. The fictional layer can be very subtle (changing dialogues) or feel free to add spaceships, angels or monsters, time travel, winning the lottery or going on a secret mission ;) Good luck and let us know in case of any questions!

Hi I am having difficulty uploading my article on swerk. I have made an account and I go to my stories section to upload the article. It asks me for an image, a title and a short description of the article. Once I do that I guess I can upload the entire article next. Is that how you do it? Also how do I tag it as my 2017? Can you provide details of steps I need to follow to get this right? Thank you.
Hi, yes, correct! After that you click on adding a chapter, you fill in your text, hit Publish, fill in your story details (including the tag; please make sure you hit Enter when adding the tag)), hit Publish again. You story has been published! :)
I wanna write on love passion and romance.....

Your story doesn’t have to be complete to participate. If you think the part you can finish is complete enough to be read like a short story or to have us wanting more chapters, you should be good.
Is it neccesary for the story to be complete to take part in the competition?

I have a whole bunch of stories, but i'm just not sure if they'll fit with what the criteria is.
They're not exactly plans for 2017, but a missing bike isn't exactly one either. They are more like normal made up dramatic stories. Is that still okay?
H! You can go two ways. Either write a story about your experiences in 2016, or take this as a starting point to continue your story in 2017. The fictional layer can be very subtle (changing dialogues) or feel free to add spaceships, angels or monsters, time travel, winning the lottery or going on a secret mission ;) So it doesn't exactly have to incorporate plans, but just let your imagination loose and write your own 2017. Good luck and let us know if you have other questions.
Hello! I want to participate in this contest. I have a query regarding whether I can write a fictional story that is not about me but portrays a story of a 10 year old and his experience of 2016 and expectations for 2017.
Hi Rupak, as you're still adhering to the main topic, the jury will include your story for consideration. We look forward to reading it!
Hey!
I added #my2017 as the story description...so can you confirm my participation once? Thanks ?
Hello Vasuda, what's the title of your story? I'll check for you.
Hi
My story title is being unique. Pls check my participation and let me know
Hi Vasuda, yes, your story 'Being unique...!' is participating!
Hi i want to participate I'm just a bit confused.. The topic is how did my 2016 go and how i want my 2017 to be but in a fictional form whether it may be mystery, suspense or romance? Is that correct..?
Hello Nidhi, that's completely correct! We'll give you a bit of freedom and allow you to both write a story about your experiences in 2016, or take this as a starting point to continue your story in 2017. The fictional layer can be very subtle (changing dialogues) or feel free to add spaceships, angels or monsters, time travel, winning the lottery or going on a secret mission ;) Good luck and let us know in case of any questions!

There's one popularity prize as well, so that's gonna be based only on the Sweek community popularity? Or we could take to other media as well? Also, it was mentioned that cover design is one of the criteria for judgment. Does this mean I have to add some picture in front?
Hi! The popularity prize is based on the followers you have within the Sweek platform, and therefore Sweek community. It's not mandatory, but it will attract more attention from the jury and add to the overall feel of your story. Good luck!

I wanna know if I have to use real names or can I use fictional names. And does the story have to be in present or future tense or past tense would be fine?
We won't check if you used real names or not ;) so if you would like to anonymize/fictionalize them, that's fine! We also approve of both tenses.
Would it have to be fictional or should w use real names for that??
We won't check if you used real names or not ;) so if you would like to anonymize/fictionalize them, that's fine!
I have a few more questions. Do I have to write as if the events have happened or Do I write it as if they are about to happen. I am a bit confused. And Can we write just anything, as in anything like werewolfs or vampires or witches??
Yes, vampires and witches are allowed! Werewolves are not. Kidding, they are too :) You can go two ways with the topic. Either write a story about your experiences in 2016, or take this as a starting point to continue your story in 2017. The fictional layer can be very subtle (changing dialogues) or feel free to add spaceships, angels or monsters, time travel, winning the lottery or going on a secret mission ;) Good luck and let us know in case of any questions!

Hey, Sweek team! That's one of the best competitions I've ever encountered, thank you for this opportunity! I uploaded a story and tagged it with "my2017", however the tag does not appear to be saving (i tried many times), everything else is okay though :) Can you please confirm (whenever you can of course) if I managed to enter the contest with my ghost-y tag? (the story is called Ko Phi Phi Leh)
Hi Teodora, thank you for your compliments! I can indeed see your story is published but the tag is not saved. Strange! Did you try using the web version? You can also add the '#my2017' to the story description (you can find it in story basics). I haven't had the chance to visit Ko Phi Phi yet, so I definitely look forward to reading your story!

Writing, the only way to let your thoughts transform to eyes and minds of readers. I want to Join this compitation.
Different Means of My Journey
- Dew
As I stepped out of my temporal home
And started to move in a four wheeler.
My mind is still dwell
With the gentle breeze of Tibet.
Cause there is no clean air to breathe.
I passed by various Cities;
Sacred cities,
No sacred treasures.
Ancient cities,
No ancient thinkers
Developed cities,
Undeveloped hearts.
I came across various sceneries;
Rivers where undrinkable drops
cliffs and slopes
Valleys and hilly areas.
But to my surprise
I never met a man in relief.
From youth to aged,
Too busy with their own little world.

Hi! Your story doesn’t have to be complete to participate. If you think the part you can finish is complete enough to be read like a short story or to have us wanting more chapters, you should be good.

Hi Sounav, it doesn't have to be written in 1st person, you can choose the point of view. We can't check if it's based on your personal experiences, so you can submit it. If the jury enjoys your story and if it reads like it could be a fictionalized personal story, you're good. Good luck and let us know in case of any questions.

Thanks! (:
Hi Saumya, if you search for the title of your story on the explore page, and you can find it: it's published. If you also see my2017 in the description, it's definitely added to the competition. You can also give me the title if you want to be extra sure, and I can check for you!

Hey, what would be the topic of the story? Please mention in details. I am very much interested in the competition.
Thanks & Regards!
Hi Pranay,
You can go two ways with the topic. Either write a story about your experiences in 2016, or take this as a starting point to continue your story in 2017. The fictional layer can be very subtle (changing dialogues) or feel free to add spaceships, angels or monsters, time travel, winning the lottery or going on a secret mission ;) Good luck and let us know in case of any questions!
Hi, I want to know, I'm writing a short story about love and relationship. so I need to know whether that story should include excerpts from my 2016 experiences along with how I want my 2017 to be spent, even if it has no connection with 2016 or 2017?? Am I understanding the right thing? Also, I need to know if I'm not including any part of how I spent 2016 and how I want to spend 2017, will my story be rejected?

Hello! I have submitted my writing piece with the #my2017 under the name Aayushi Pandya. Can you check it once if you have received it?
Hi Aayushi, the story is indeed online and will be checked after the submission deadline!
Have a great day!
So you have received it right? Because i cant find it in the explore
Yes, we did :) If you search for it, you are able to see it!
Best,
Veronika.
I'm a bit confused about the topic. Like, what do you exactly want me to write? A story that I expect to happen in the 2017 or any story of my choice. Could you please make me clear?

Hello
Iam not able to submit my story. Can you guide me?
Hi Sumit,
What exactly do you have troubles with? You can create your account on Sweek and upload your story (either via website or the app), and when filling in story details, you put ‘my2017’ as a tag. Or you can also include it in your story description.
Please let me know how we can help!
Best,
Veronika.
Thanks Veronika.
I was facing challenge while saving it. It was taking tooo long. But it has been solved now. Thanks for swift reply :)
Also can you confirm if my story has been registered. As i have published it. But not able to add tag in story details. But added tag in story description.
Story - I love me
Yes, it has been, Sumit! But just out of curiosity: Did you try adding the tag in Story Details where you fill in other details and hitting Enter?
Hi ,I already published my story (Portuguese) zack25 ,please let me know if everything is ok or I need to do something else ,thank you.
Zac.
Hi Zac,
It's all good, nothing else needed! Just spread the word among your friends and family ;)
Best,
Veronika.
Is it compulsary to write my story only? I mean....cant i write about any character's 2017 ?
If the story sounds like you wrote it from your perspective, we leave it up to you regarding the choice of character ;)
Best,
Veronika.
Can we upload more than 1 article for the competition?
Yes, you can!:)
So we are just free write?
Like any topic? As many words we want ?
As long as it fits the broad topic, yes! And no word limit indeed
I have published my ongoing work https://sweek.com/#/read/10613/1400000162 titled 'His Misery' but haven't been able to add tag. But I have mentioned it in description. Please go through and inform if I have been registered for this competition.
Hi, yes you are registered, but the chapter seems to have no content?
Best,
Veronika.
Yeah... I would be adding it tonight. Thanks a lot.
I couldn't see my comment getting visible.
I have published my story 'Love that wasn't mine' under the profile 'Nehasri' with the required Tag.
Can anyone let me know if I am registered and my profile visible.
Hello Neha, I see the story 'Your Love was never mine'. Is that the one? Unfortunately there's no 'my2017' tag yet. You can also add it to the story description to participate!

I have written a short story (which I haven't posted yet) about a social issue, you could say that's my take on a certain issue, so I want to know can I post it? Or should it strictly be an experience based? Also can I submit more than one story?
Yes you can post it and you can also submit more than 1 story.
Best,
Thank you so much! Submiting only means uploading the story on sweep and adding the hastag, right?
Yes, that's right! You can check if it went well by typing the story title in the search bar on explore, and if you click on your story and you see the box with 'my2017', your story is entered in the competition! Good luck :)

Hi, I have written and published the story with the tag #my2017. I made a profile in sweek and had written there. But I am not sure has it reached you or not? How do I confirm my submission to your contest?
Hi Sweek team, please reply. Did you get my submission or do I have to upload again?
Hi Geethica,
There is no confirmation for submission. If you want, give us the title of the story and we can check whether it has my2017 either in title, description or tag.
Best,
Veronika.
Hi Veronika
The title of my story is UNUSUAL STORIES OF USUAL PLACES. I have written #my2017 in my tags. Please ensure me if I have to submit again. And the exact procedure.
Hi! I can see you story, but it's not tagged with #my2017 yet. When you fill in the tag in story details, make sure to hit enter after writing a tag. Otherwise it's not added and not saved. If you type in your story title in the search bar and look at the story page, you'll see #my2017 if you did it correctly. You can also add #my2017 to the story description if you want.

Hi! We have a multilingual team with members full-time dedicated to Sweek. So during those 9 days, we'll be all be reading the stories and selecting the best of the best taking various quality standards into consideration. In the end we'll debate about the most special stories and choose the winners together.
Hi there! Do you accept previously published stories? Thank you!
As long as they are newly published on Sweek, then yes!
Hi, I want to know if my story is visible for others to read. ( Sinful Bliss) I have included the tag in my title and also in the story tag.
I don't see it as a tag (did you press Enter when typing the tag?), and you also included it in the chapter title, not story title. So please include it either in the story title or description, or try adding it as a tag again.
Done the changes. Hope it is okay now.

Hi Maaz,
If you search for your story in the search bar, do you get it in the search results? If yes, then it has been published on Sweek. Also, in that case the status of the story on your Story dashboard should say Published.
Let me know whether this worked out.
Best,

Hi, I already wrote a story on this subject, but I am not good with computers and I have no idea how to upload the story. Will you be able to help me?
About the story: does it need to be a happy experience?
and can I write it in dutch or is it better in English?
Hi Yvonne! You need to create your account on Sweek and upload your story (either via website or the app) by going to 'my stories' and clicking on 'new story'. First you can fill in story title and description and add a cover, then you click on ‘next’. From the story dashboard you can add a chapter in which you put the text of your story. If you click on ‘publish’, you can fill in the story details and you put ‘my2017’ as a tag. Or you can also include it in your story description.
It can be any kind of experience you would like to write about, so both happy and sad. Also, both Dutch and English stories are accepted for the competition - we have an international jury. So go for the language you're most comfortable in.
Good luck and let us know in case of any other questions!
I have just uploaded my story .... have you got it????? Because i am unable to find it :( or i should upload it tomorrow again on 28th?
Hi Rida, please let me know the title of your story and I'll be able to check for you ;)
"Badalta hua wakt" :) :) plz check
Hi Rida,
The story is published, but not tagged for the competition yet. So you need to either add my2017 in your title or description, or add it as a tag in Story details (and don't forget to press Enter).
Best,

Can I submit the story by 1st February? I am travelling and came to know about the contest just yesterday
Hi! Unfortunately we have to be strict about the deadline of 31st of January of entering with your story :( just know that you can also use the apps to write your story on-the-go. If the majority of your story is done on the 31st, you can also upload it then and edit it a little on February 1st. We'll allow that :)

How do I check if my story is published under the competition tag?
Thank you
When you read your story, can you see my2017 as a tag on the Story page? Otherwise, you can add it to your title or description as well.

Well, I didn't receive any confirmation email!
Also how do I share my story on social media? I am sorry but I can't seem to find the option in the sweek app.
Thank you

Hi Annie,
You will not receive a confirmation email. You can share the story via the Share button from the reading screen of your story (next to Like and Follow buttons).

Technically it doesn't have to, but we always encourage our writers to share their story with friends and family to make it easier to discover. Also we have a special crowd prize for the story with the highest amount of followers!

If I log in and go to my stories and put the tag my 2017.Is this the correct way to enter the competition.
Yes, or add it to your description/title as well, to be sure.
