Looking for a guiding light. May 2024 round is open, looking for short stories. |
It's time for Part Two, Lodestars! There's a link to a post containing all the story ideas up in the contest body, but here it is again: "Story Ideas" Deadline: Monday, February 8 I can't stress enough that you have a ton of freedom here. The story ideas are for inspiration, to give you a road, but feel free to veer off into the woods if that's where your path leads. These are your first drafts. Play with them. Secure your place in Part Four. A.) this Part won't be judged and B.) there's nothing that says you can't be working toward Part Four from now until that final deadline on the 28th. Just have something people can review by Feb. 9th. Here are the guidelines for Part Two: Take any one of the Part One ideas and write a story. Bend or stick to the story idea however you like, but the original idea should be evident within it. (You're free to get creative, even changing the genre and/or characters [if any characters are mentioned.]) If you entered Part One, please don't use your own story idea(s) for Part Two. There is no restriction on word count, but keep in mind you only have a week and a day to finish. No restrictions on content rating, but make sure your entry post sticks to this forum's rating. (13+) Put which story idea you used at the top of your item (or book entry, if that's how you choose to post your story). If you choose to combine story ideas, make sure to include all the ones you used at the top of your item's (entry's) body. Use whatever link works best for you to enter your story below. One entry per contestant. Your story will only be judged against others if you choose to enter it in Part Four. |
