Second place: Shanachie Author Icon for "Invalid Item

Third place: Storm Machine Author Icon for "Inoculation [13+]


Contest is OPEN for entries!

Write a story that illustrates diversity as a positive force in society.

diā€¢verā€¢siā€¢ty
diˈvərsitē,dī-/

noun
1.the state of being diverse; variety.
"there was considerable diversity in the style of the reports"




The idea behind this contest is to get people thinking about the ways in which diversity can play a positive role in both individual lives, and society as a whole. This is a concept that is very important to me personally, and as a result I decided to sponsor a competition that would highlight the ways in which diversity benefits us.

Example of diversity include, but are not confined to: Race, sexual orientation, gender, religion, size, species, culture, and age.

Guidelines: any genre; sexuality is fine, but the plot should be story driven, and not gratuitous. Incidental violence that is relevant to the story will be accepted, but again, no gratuitous violence.

Word limits: Minimum 1k, Maximum 5k

Rating: Up to 18+

New stories only, please. You may edit up to the submission deadline.


Submission deadline: Please post submissions in the forum in ritem format {ritem:xxxxxxx} no later than February 14th, 2014, 11:59PM
