June Short Story Competition
TOS-era Theme
Writing due May 31st, Voting in early June
It is time to get your datapadds and holo recorders out, for the Short Story Competition is returning. As you can see from the brief planning thread, we have fine examples of winners in the past and we also have a good idea of what the theme should be.
So without further ado, below are the rules and deadlines, and I look forward to seeing some great stories!
Schedule
- May 12 - May 31: Write your stories
- By May 31: Send your story to >>CAYMEN GREENER<< via PM. Please include a TITLE of your story.
- June 1 - June 8: UFP Anonymous Voting
- Mid June: Winner Announced in the News!
Rules
- Theme: In light of the next STO expansion, we are writing in the TOS era (1960s TV or movies I-VI). Your own original characters and ships in this era are of course ok.
- Length: Short stories are technically under 7500 words, but we try to keep things more succinct. Somewhere in the 1500-3000 word range would be good. Remember, the more concise and yet impactful you can be, the better read it will be for our community.
- Intellectual Property: Ok fine print time. It should go without saying, but these stories must be original works created by you. You will always maintain ownership of these stories and no one here will do anything with your stories without your permission. We only ask to leave the winning submission in UFP News in perpetuity (with due credit of course). Please do not post your stories elsewhere before the winner is announced.

Can we grandfather the achievement for those that have won it in the past?

I gave Dentari all my records which only went back a few years, and those have been backfilled. If you were in one of the competitions prior to me running them (roughly prior to 2014), you might have to find the thread and let the admins know.

As coordinator, I thought about tossing a story in one of these competitions. I won't do it this time, but I've thought about how I could do that, like find an FEO member to whom I send my story before the others come in, and then I'd insert mine in the order randomly. Try to keep it as fair as possible. But don't worry I won't muddy things up yet.
But I am looking forward to this for sure!

Not sure I'd qualify Caymen, but you could send mine to me. Also, no I haven't started mine just yet. I need to gather the necessary information for it. But I'll be getting started soon. After all, I've only got 13 days to submit it.

Yes, the timeline is scrunched a bit, but I wanted to get something going. As long as we get 2 submissions, we'll run the vote. That's enough to get the ball running and get other folks' juices flowing!

Only 10 days left and I've yet to receive entries. Don't make me cry. Crying Caymen is worse than Grumpy Caymen.
Kidding aside, I know a couple of you are writing something, so I don't mean to pressure those of you already writing. But I'd love to see 3-4 entries so we can 1) have good reads (duh) and 2) have a good competition.

Bump! These are due on the 31st, next Tuesday. I'll be putting the voting thread and poll together on the 1st during the US business day, so if you have something ready, get it submitted. I know we worked on a scrunched schedule, but I'd love to see one or two more. As my colleagues can tell you, these are always fun to read and fun to see who gets the votes!

Final reminder, folks. Please get some content in, as I only know of one or two authors thus far. I'd hate for this first showing to be lacking in content.

Funny you say that... I only received one entry and so a vote will not happen. I'll just have to submit that item to FNS or we'll need to see if others are just tardy on their submissions. I'll be a bit disappointed if we only have the one.
Stay tuned!
