Community & Contests

Work in Progress

This documentation is still being expanded and refined. Features, screenshots, and descriptions may change until Talescape's public release. If something is unclear or you need help, please ask on the official Talescape Discord. We're happy to clarify or update pages as needed.

After publishing your story, Talescape offers several ways to engage with the wider community, share your work, and participate in creative events. This chapter explains how Talescape’s community operates, how contests are organized, and how stories gain visibility on the platform.

In this chapter, you’ll learn about:

  • Talescape Originals – Officially commissioned stories produced in collaboration with selected authors.
  • Community Standards – The principles of respectful interaction and how to report misconduct.
  • Joining Contests – How contests work, including rules, timelines, and prize structures.
  • Sponsorships, Grants & Contest Topics – How Talescape funds contests and ensures fairness in sponsored events.
  • Promotion & Visibility – How stories are featured and discovered on the platform.

Together, these systems define Talescape's creative ecosystem, supporting fair competition, collaboration, and recognition for every Bard.
