Here are my proposed rules:
- You must be an ESUS member to enter.
- Your story does not necessarily have to be science fiction, nor does it have to be set inside the NS universe.
- The maximum length is to be 1,500 words.
- The deadline for entry will be 10th March.
- Only one entry per person.
- The work must be entirely original. No using Star Trek ships or any other fandom. None at all, or I'll reject it.
- The judges decision is final.
- The story may be edited by me before the prize is awarded (see below for why)
- We will open voting for the story on the 10th March.
- The stories must not display gratuitous sex.
- The prize may be delayed by approximately one month after the closing date for voting.
- The winners will be announced on the 21st March.
First place: I will fully illustrate a graphic novel based upon your story. I will retain all illustrative credits, but you will be credited as the writer. With your permission, it may be submitted for assessment.
Second place: I will create single piece illustrations of all your main characters, in the pose of your choice (subject to my artistic license.)
Third place: I will create a single piece illustration of one of your main characters.
Any questions, feel free to post them here.
