Announcing The First tisoz Shadowrun Fiction Contest.
Submission guidelines: * SR setting - not the impossible by SR rules * Pre 2065 * Multiple entries accepted - though I have plans for 2 more contests with more specific topics, and plan to do this a few times if there is much enthusiasm. * Length - long enough to tell the story, short enough to withstand ADD * Deadline - * Format - txt, doc, pdf, rtf, wps, lit - if you have to use another, tell me how to open it. If I can't open it, I can't read it and you limit your chances of winning. * Send to: tisoz80@aol.com * Please include within the submission a Title, and an email address to contact you. You may want to include your name or Dumpshock handle within also, but it is optional. A word of advice: I would like to see fresh fiction. If it was posted somewhere already there is a chance I saw it, which may hurt your prospects for winning. The prizes. I'll be letting the winner(s) choose from a group of older SR RPG books. Hopefully the quality of the submissions will induce me to include some rare titles in the pool. The Winner(s) will be responsible for shipping costs. (This way I won't limit contestants to the US.) Just actual shipping cost, not handling or packaging fees. The First tisoz Shadowrun Fiction Contest. Stuffer Shack Stocking Stuffers. |
