Let’s tell you our story first. We’ll be done in a flash. Honest.

  • LiveJournal is the world’s leading community blogging site, with over 16 million accounts worldwide. The site’s users have established a reputation for producing some of the more interesting and creative material online. LiveJournal users in other parts of the world are well known for producing works of fiction in their journals or communities which have attracted thousands of followers. The LiveJournal team hope that this contest in India will kick-start a similar sort of wave of creativity.
  • Caferati is one of India’s most well-known literary communities. They have brought a completely modern and fresh approach to finding new writing talent and giving developing writers a platform.

    For Caferati, LiveJournal makes for a great partner because it gives its users an easy way to show their work to the world, which is something we, and all our members and potential members are always looking for, and it builds community, which, again, is what Caferati is all about.

Warm fuzzies aside, we come in knowing that we bring something of value into this partnership: experience running contests like the popular ones we have organised for the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival, plus the ears of many folks in different levels within India’s writing community, who LJ would like to talk to. In return, LJ’s reach around the world means that we’re getting to put our brand in front of vast hordes of new people, potential writers all. And you? You get the chance to place your own brand of talent in front of all those people too. And there’s that little matter of some rather succulent prizes ..

But enough about us. Let’s move on to the contest brought to you by, erm, us.
