-Judging also by Cagali Cagali (CSM 10, Brave Newbies chief, veteran judge), Lunarisse Aspenstar (EVE writers supporter and contest host), Sindel Pellion (The Angel Project, musical artist, and celebrated EVE persona). (And also myself).

Thank you, fine and generous sponsors and supporters of the arts!
This year we'll again have three contest categories.
8,000 Suns in New Eden - For lore/backstory faithful fiction.
A Day in the Life - For stories set in the ingame world, or just freeform and not strictly conforming to the lore.
Other Things Just Make You Swear and Curse - Humo(u)r!
More guidance on all of this and detailed guidelines are on the contest webpage. For here, important things to know are stories can be up to 5,000 words, and the deadline for entry is October 26. That's one month from today. More coming in this thread was we go along to.
Get on it, writers and about to be writers!

That's really nice that you're sharing reviews, Nomistrav. And the writing advice as well. I especially like the suggestion about feeling free to start in the middle and deal with the beginning later. |
