Latest revision as of 20:18, 10 February 2024

Starting with the second edition, 2023/II, the ATF Story Writing Contest will be featured across two sites: this site (ATF Stories), and the ATF Forum. For this edition, both anonymous and non-anonymous (named) submissions will be accepted. Other rules might still change, until the official start of the story submission period.

Dual sites

All stories that are submitted to this contest will be published on both sites. This can be done by the author, if they wish to post the story twice. Or the author can submit the story to one site only, in which case the organizer will post an identical copy on the other side.

Due to the nature of ATF Stories, discussing rules and voting for the best stories are not possible here. These elements of the contest will be at the ATF Forum only.

Call for themes

The call for themes was opened on September 15, 2023, and closed on September 30, 2023, A total of 12 themes were suggested.
