Sexplore. Discover.
Get inspired. Win prizes!
Welcome to the Inkwell—a writerly space where Inklings share their works-in-progress, celebrate one another’s ideas, and grow together as storytellers. Whether you’re posting your own writing or reading the work of fellow writers, the Inkwell is designed for you.
This summer, join our Inkwell Scavenger Hunt to spark your creativity and discover the magic in your fellow writers’ words. It’s fun, simple, and rewarding!
Complete and submit your Scavenger Hunt form by August 27, 2025 (midnight PT)!
How it works:
- Download the scavenger hunt guide below.
- Hunt through the Inkwell for writing that fits each of the eight prompts—such as a word that sparks an idea or a phrase you can use as a title for your own original piece of writing.
(If you post your writing, credit your source’s pen name!) - Write the item and the title of the piece you found it in.
- When you complete all eight prompts, take a photo of your page and upload it using the form below. Submit by August 27, 2025, midnight PT.
- Complete up to three bonus challenges for extra prize entries!
