Write with the eloquence of Dentari in The Fire in Which We Burn:
Write with unbridled fun like Three of Seven in Precious Cargo:
These are just small examples of the stupendous creativity we have in our community, and we want to see the same from you!
RULES
The point of the short story contest is to show off your writing and story-telling skills. This can be a couple paragraph quip all the way to a multiple paragraph tale. As recommended in the past, towards the shorter end is probably more ideal as it allows people to get into the action quickly. But the length is your choice.
Remember, in order to anonymize this as best we can, try to avoid using your own name or those of your known characters. We want to keep any bias out of the voting if at all possible.
The theme this time is the Risian holiday of Lohlunat. You should write your story using this theme as a backdrop of some sort. And remember - given this is on Risa - keep it to PG-13 and within our UFP Code of Conduct.
PROCESS
The process is simple:
- First, plan and compose your story - again, on the shorter side is probably better (especially with a lot of entries).
- Submit your entry by sending a PM to me, >> Caymen Greener <<. Include the title and content. Submit these to me by Saturday, July 5th!
- Leading up to the festival day, we will vote as a community. The stories will be posted to the voting thread anonymously, in the order in which I receive them.
- On the 12th, we will end voting and announce a winner.
THE PRIZE!
Other than eternal fame and glory, there has to be a prize, right? The winning story and its author will be featured in our News outlet to be read by all those in and out of the UFP community!
So get to your writing and enjoy the fun theme this time!
EDIT: I have copied your submission and sent it to Caymen at his request. He asked me to remove it from the comments section so that it be unbiased and people see it when all the stories come out
