Read and Connect: Jump into the amazing stories on StoryForge and see what your fellow writers have been creating! You can explore short stories, long novels, and everything in between; every read helps bring our community closer together. Show some love and support by diving into their work!

Leave Feedback: Sharing your thoughts is what it’s all about! Constructive feedback can make a huge difference, from pointing out what you enjoyed to offering helpful suggestions. It’s all about helping each other grow in a positive and encouraging way.

Track Community Progress: We’re all in this together! As you read and leave feedback, you’ll see our community-wide progress bar grow. Watching our shared efforts add up is so satisfying, and every comment or read helps us get closer to our goals.

Earn Rewards Together: The more we read and share feedback, the closer we get to unlocking awesome prizes! Once we hit our goals, everyone who’s joined in will earn Quills, a reading tracker, and even two special avatars to celebrate everything we’ve accomplished as a community.

Keep A Journal: Want a way to keep track of what you’ve been reading? There are also coloring pages if you need a break from reading! Everyone who is signed up on StoryForge gets a free copy of the Reading Journal! Get your discount code either on the platform or in our marketing emails once you’ve signed up!

Prizes and Rewards

You didn’t think we’d do something like this without prizes, did you? You should know us better than that by now! It’s not all or nothing either; the prizes roll in along the way.

We’ve broken it out into two different sets of rewards and all these rewards are exclusive to this event!

  1. A reading journal!

    • This is free to everyone! Make sure to log in to the platform or check the newsletter after the event launches for the redemption code!

  2. Prize Track 1: Chapters Read

    • To unlock the exclusive Season’s Reading library set, we will need to read 2000 total chapters! Pieces will be unlocked quickly early on, but the thresholds get bigger as we go!

  3. Prize Track 2: Feedback Left

    • There are 4 backgrounds, 3 borders (these are new!), and 5 unique avatars that we can get, including the returning BookWarm and Book Wyrm! The only way to get these is to leave inline feedback and chapter comments on someone else’s work!

FAQ

  • It’s easy! Every time you read a story on StoryForge or leave thoughtful feedback, you’re already participating. This is a community-wide challenge, and every single read and comment helps us reach our goals!

  • By simply reading a story in Storyforge during December, you’ll contribute to the community’s progress. Once we hit milestones on our challenge progress bar, everyone who participates will earn the corresponding prizes.

  • Nope! You can read any story on StoryForge to join the challenge. But if you see stories tagged with seasonsreadings or 30Kin30days2025, those are authors that are really looking for your feedback!

  • Season’s Readings is all about celebrating the joy of reading together. While you’re welcome to set personal goals for yourself, the prizes are based on the progress our entire community makes toward the challenge goals.

  • Providing meaningful feedback to the author is the best way to share your thoughts. You can also discuss stories in Writer’s Circles, chat about them on our Discord server, or even post on social media. If you share online, don’t forget to tag us at @_storyforge so we can join the conversation!
