New Story Contest: Pride Cometh Before The Fall

Jul 12th, 2020 by thegooddoctor in News

I continue to get strong interest in these contests, so we’re going to have another one in August. The theme for this new contest is Hubris. It seems particularly relevant given the state of the world at the moment. Feel free to interpret it anyway you like.

Submissions are due by July 31st. Please follow the normal submission guidelines (here) but also include Hubris Contest in the subject header so I know it is for the contest. One contest submission per person (though you are free to submit as many pride-themed stories for regular posting as you want).

The rules are simple, but don’t get cocky. Submitters somehow fail to follow instructions all the time:

  1. All stories must somehow engage with the theme hubris. Be creative.
  2. The story must be exactly 100 words, not including the title.
  3. Only one submission per person. All entries are due by July 31st.

That’s it. Start writing. I hope I get plenty of stories, so spread the word.

*Note: This contest is meant for fun. While there are no actual prizes, as always, EXTREME bragging rights are involved!

Remember, I’ll still be posting non-contest-related posts on a daily basis, so keep sending in your stories on any topic you like!
