Welcome to the 2024/I edition of the ATF Story Writing Contest, the third edition overall. This contest runs 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 prompts

The call for prompts was opened on December 16, 2023, and closed on December 31, 2023.

Prompt selection

On January 2, 2024, a poll was set up (on the ATF Forum) to select one of the 16 submitted prompts. On January 16, the poll closed. With just one vote difference, "Sexual education" beat "Forced Exposure".

21	Sexual education
20	Forced Exposure
19	Historical

Story submissions

On January 16, 2024, the 2024/I edtition of the ATF Story Writing Contest was officially kicked off. You can find all the rules and all information on how to submit, as well as a list of submitted stories, here.

Voting

On April 16, 2024, shortly after the deadline for story submissions, the official list of competing stories was presented, and voting for both the Readers' Choice as well as the Writers' Choice were opened. Both of those awards had a three-week voting period.

Since these votes use the poll feature and the private message feature, the voting was entirely on the ATF Forum.
