THEME: Time at the Bar
WORD COUNT LIMIT: 1000
DEADLINE: Your local midnight, Thursday 27th May 2021
************************************************************************************************************************
Write your story, make sure it includes a reference to the theme (as obliquely and interpretive as you wish) and is within the word limit. Have fun and good luck!
If you are new to the contests, here's a general outline of what to do:
1) Think of a story idea that includes speculative fiction elements (fantasy, science fiction, horror elements) and fits the theme stated above
2) Write story
3) Edit story
4) Post story in the Stories sub-forum. (Use these guidelines to title your thread so it is easy for folks to find your entry.)
5) Come back here and let us know that you posted your story and provide a link to that story (makes it easier for me to find your story when it comes time to vote).
6) Read the other entries and offer comments that help the writer both know what they did right and what they did wrong (in your humble opinion)
7) Vote when the voting poll goes up. The winner takes over the next contest and has the honor of picking its theme.
CONTEST GUIDELINES:
PG-13 - generally, the forum restricts its contents to what would be acceptable at the PG-13 rating. However, we are lenient for creative purposes in the writing forum. Please warn readers if your story contains adult situations.
Once you post your contest entry, we discourage writers from altering the original text submitted. While it may be okay to change a few typos here and there, please do not revise your piece substantially. If you would like to respond to feedback, you are encouraged to post your revision within the thread (but not the original post).
