A Creative Writing Battle!

Gauntlit is a completely ad-free/free to play game that is available on the web for any device or Google Play for Android. The basic idea is everyone gets a prompt, 3 required words, and 10 minutes to write a micro fiction story. Then users will get pools of 3 stories each and vote on their favorite ones. The winning story every day gets narrated and posted to the official social media pages (with credit, of course).
Back in 2011 I attended a convention called Otakon. My friend group went to a panel late one night called "Super Art Battle" where artists got on stage and were given random prompts/instructions to draw and they shared the canvas. That gave me the idea to do something similar, but with writing. 15 years later, there still isn't an app/game that fills that space, so I made Gauntlit.
I built this for readers and writers alike and everyone is welcome to use it. I would like feedback from everyone who uses it. I want reasons that people don't want to come back to it, things that would make you come back to it, and things that would turn it into a daily form of entertainment for you (this is the ultimate goal).
The app is 100% free, you can check it out without making an account, but since there is voting and I would like to keep it fair you do need an account for that. I hate apps with ads more than anything, so there are literally 0 ads of any kind in Gauntlit and that's how it will stay forever. I am a developer, but I am a user first.
Please give it a shot and let me know what you think!
