The only person who will know who wrote what is the Secret Keeper. Judges, Hosts and Banner Makers will NOT know who wrote what.

Please do not post or continue your story anywhere until after the winners have been announced on. After, please feel free to continue your story into a full-length fiction; although, the contest entry must stand alone.

Entries must be beta’d. We will be validating all entries for grammar, spelling, etc. If there are a large number of errors or the story has issues with readability, then your entry will be sent back to you so that you may edit and revise before resubmitting.

Entries must fit within the theme of the contest or they will be returned unposted. You may revise and resubmit as long as it does not violate the hard limits below.
