a no-prompt fiction contest with great prizes |
So this is the first round of my first contest. It is funded by my reviews page and any donations received. This is a fiction ONLY contest. I do love poetry but I feel it is unfair to judge poetry and fiction side by side. There are very few rules because this is a free-for-all sort of contest. I want to be inspired and feel like I just went on a ride. Stories can be dark or funny or anything in between. I want to laugh or cry or feel my heart warmed. I want to have a vested interest in the story for one reason or another. That’s the only theme here. Rules: Stories must be over 500 words but there is no limit to how much you can write. Previously written pieces can be submitted but they can’t have won an awardicon before. Post it bitem format please Item content may be any rating but if the piece is exceptionally graphic in an way there needs to be a point to it. Pointless gore or sex isn’t the way to win me over All items will be read AFTER the deadline so feel free to edit until then. I encourage you to get reviews on your piece and then edit accordingly. You may enter up to two stories but they must be different genres. For example you can write an erotica piece and then write a fantasy piece Books are okay but they must be completed, not simply a chapter from one of your books, sorry. Awards: First Place : An award icon and 5000gps Second Place: 5000gps Third Place: 2500gps Honorable Mentions: 1000gps All winners will be posted here on the forum so everyone can gaze at the loveliness. If there are less than 10 entries only the top three awards will be given if there are less than 5 entries than only first place will be awards Donations: all donations are welcomed and loved and will result in two things: free reviews of two of your pieces and a mention on this forum donations of 25000gps or more will be given a merit badge Thank you to: markdaniels ----- 2000 gps Harriet Everend ----- 10000gps Turkey DrumStik ----- 15000gps Judges: Currently I am the only judge but if you are interested in judging this contest with me (you won’t be allowed to enter) feel free to e-mail me with your intentions. Round One: round one will go until midnight (WDC time) on the last day of March. GOOD LUCK |
