If I control F your sin, I should come up with zero results, if you know what I'm saying. Which i will probably be doing becauuuuuuuse...
SPECIAL TERTIARY OBJECTIVE: ANOMONYOUS CHALLENGE!!!
It's been a hot minute since we've done an anonymous challenge. For those of you unaware it's a challenge where I'll remove people's names from their stories. The way this is going to work is instead of posting them like normal, you'll send me a PM with your short story in some kind of text format whether it be a word doc, or google doc, or even just in the message field (Be aware though, with that last one, it might be hard for me to know where your paragraphs begin, so be warned!) The important thing here is that I can copy the text, because I'm going to compile all the entries into something special with some nice and delicious uniform formatting and not a single god damn name on them.
Just the stories and their titles.
And maybe some dumb and cryptic pennames cause I'm fun like that.
A thing to note: If you don't want to participate/feel uncomfortable sending me a story document, that is fine, this is an optional thing you don't have to participate in if you don't want to. Though I am going to delete any files I'm sent once the submission deadline is done. If you don't want to risk it, that's fine and you are more than welcome to submit the normal way.
Submission Guidelines:
- One entry per poster.
- All submissions must be written during the time of the challenge.
- Using the topic as the title of your piece is discouraged.
- Keep to the word count!
Voting Guidelines:
- Three votes per voter. Please denote in your voting your 1st (3 pts), 2nd (2 pts), and 3rd (1 pt) place votes.
- Please read all submissions before voting.
- You must vote in order to be eligible to win the challenge.
- When voting ends, the winner gets a collective pat on the back, and starts the new challenge.
Important side note: A lot of our regulars like to write out short critiques/comments for the stories, but you can always opt out by simply adding a note like "I'd prefer no critiques" in the post where you submit your story. We're an understanding group and respect that not everyone wants comments on their work. Above all, we just want to read your story.
