Hey everyone. In the time I’ve spent in lit I’ve noticed that not nearly enough time is spent congratulating the truly talented writers. That and I get the feeling that a ton of the best writers on this site don’t post simply because of a lack of motivation.

Well I’ve decided to hold a little tournament that will hopefully bring out some great works from the FFR community. Submit whatever kind of writing you want here (as a post, not a pm) by a tentatively set deadline of Monday, January 14th at 12:00 AM to be judged. Poetry, fiction, non-fiction, whatever you want. Everything from a haiku to a novel to a research paper is fair game. I don't care if you wrote it before the contest. I'm not demanding new works. Submit as many works as you want, but show some discretion. No one will win more than one prize.

There will be at least one 6-Month subscription given away to the winner(s). If more than one work is deserving of a subscription, they’ll get one. If you already have one, I’ll get you a new one when yours expires. Some 3-Month subscriptions may be given out too for honorable mentions. If you’d rather have credits, or if there are even more great works that deserve some sort of prize, I’m sure I could shell out 5,000 – 10,000 credits from my own modest stash.

I will be judging the works along with MalReynolds who has graciously agreed to help me out. I think it only fair to get more than one opinion involved in judging something like this.

Just one rule: no negative criticism here please. All entries are welcome and if they aren’t well-written, they won’t win.

Good luck and get writing everyone!

SPECIAL BONUS: First person to submit a sestina gets 1,000 credits.
Winner: Mead1, you'll get your credits at the end of the contest. Please repost your sestina in here for everyone to enjoy!


EDIT: I didn't think I'd have to say this, but since ty77le77r77 decided to try it I'm going to have to. All submissions must be original, as in, you have to write them.
