I write to announce a writing contest for stories or poems by Capsuleers. There is no minimum length. Maximum length is 30,000 words. There is no required subject matter; the content may be fiction or non-fiction. If the submission exceeds the limits of a Galnet message, contact me privately for an alternate address the submission may be sent. If you wish to submit your entry on the Eve Fiction forum, you certainly are welcome to do so but mail me that you want it considered for the contest before October 15th.
Deadline for submissions is October 15 of this year.
There will be Ten prizes. First price is 100,000,000 isk Second prize is 50,000,000 isk Third prize is 10,000,000 isk Fourth through Tenth prizes will be 1,000,000 isk.*
The winners of the first three prizes will be invited to give a reading at the Raven Poetry House in Nahyeen (depending on length, the reading may be limited to selected excerpts.
The most "amusing" or "entertaining" gets treated to dinner by me (heretics, notorious criminals or apostates excluded).
All winners will be Published in the New Eden Times published by Lady Evelyn Meiyi.
As the judge, I am disqualified. (I did contact several people to be judges, sadly they all wanted to try to enter the contest!)
All entries will be considered.
*if the quality of the entries does not merit 10 prizes, then prizes will be given up to the number deemed meritorious
((This is an In Character/Roleplay writing contest. The expectation is the submissions, whether 'fiction' or 'non fiction' would be in character to the capsuleer submitting it. All submissions are expressly subject to the TOS and I certainly do not claim ownership)) |

it's about you and New Eden! Sure it would count. It might not win though unless it was really entertaining. |

The once was a rogue called Anslo He desired headwear to go with his halo To a shop he did go, the keeper did bow down low ... And so he dropped a scope fleet in, shot up everything and walked out with a big hat, flipping off passers by as he went. "**** you I'm Anslo". Said he.
The end.

Nice. Would love to enter this, but I think there's no way I'll finish The Rooster and The Rabbit before the deadline, but it may finally get me started regardless. I was thinking about doing so lately.
Maybe I'll think of something else to submit. Inspiration strikes me sometimes, when these contests happen. Coordination Channel for Consolidated Space Rescue Cooperation Open Letter to the Aidonis Foundation Directorate |

After the first week, I have 10 very interesting and talented submissions.
If anyone has any questions not answered in the initial post, do not hesitate to contact me.
In response to one question I received, multiple submissions are okay but I reserve the right to "group" them in my sole discretion for award consideration (such as a thematically related series of poems). |

And spread awareness you have.
I'm interested in this, as well. Maybe my talent for horrid jokes can be put to use thinking and composing an actual piece of literature. Who knows? Well, I probably do, and I probably won't manage it, but still. |

I commend your initiative and wish all contestants best of luck and inspiration. May I however ask how you find it acceptable to publish the winnerGÇÖs entries in the New Eden Times which is hosted by a confessing heretic of the most obdurate and unsavoury kind?
Many regards Odelya dGÇÖHanguest, Begum etc. etc. |

How so with respect to Lady Evelyn Meiyi?
In any event, sadly enough, publishing outlets are limited in New Eden and vetting each of their reporters and/or members is impractical. Perhaps we should also refrain from posting on the IGS which.. is certainly filled with publishers who are heathens, heretics, apostates,"of the most obdurate and unsavoury kind?"

Lady Aspenstar
I see now that I was confusing Evelyn Meiyi with Bai'xao Meiyi. My apologies. But arenGÇÖt they related so that heresy and treason runs in their blood?
There are certainly many valid justifications not to post on the IGS, but it is a neutral ground. A good reason not to post here is the formless and sloppy way of addressing people, with no care for names and signatures. Are we all in such a rush that we cannot write the other's name while we are addressing him or her and forget to mention our own?
Many regards Odelya d'Hanguest, Begum etc. etc. |

They are related, but I would hardly call them birds of a feather, and I think they'll agree. For what it's worth, I place more trust in Bai than in Evelyn.
