Writing Contest 2024/II - Story submissions

ATF Story Writing Contest, edition 2024-II

Welcome to the ATF Story Writing Contest, edition 2024-II.
In this contest, you compete against other writers, for fun, and in order to win bragging rights and everlasting glory.

Please read the FULL rules below.
Entries that don't follow the rules will be disqualified!.

IMPORTANT RULE CHANGES THIS ROUND:

• Changed rule: Story submission is still anonymous, but an exception is now allowed. You can ask people for help (proofreading, editing, bouncing ideas, etc). However, anyone that you ask for help this way and hence knows which story is yours is not allowed to vote for your story, in both Readers' Choice and Writers' Choice. You MUST specify the names of all that you asked for help when you send in your submission.
• Changed rule: As of this contest, there will be no more out-of-competition entries.

In order to participate in the contest, please follow these simple steps:

1. Write a story that complies with all the rules below.
2. Send your finished story on ATF Forum, in a private message to the organizer (P.D. Vile). Make sure to apply formatting as you want the story to appear.

   Do not forget to specify a title, which subforum to post it in (Loli, Shota, Furry, or Other), what prefix(es) to use, and the correct tags. (Maximum ten tags, including the "contest" tag).

   The organizer will then review your story. If there are any issues, he will let you know in a private reply. If the story is a valid entry, the organizer will enter it in the contest, post it as submitted to ATF Forum, and post a copy with the same (*) formatting on ATF Stories.

   (*) Due to differences between BBCode and MediaWiki formatting, not all formatting may be preserved. The organizer does a best effort to convert formatting to the closest equivalent.

3. Make sure to submit your story before the deadline, which will be the last minute of July 15, 2024, "anywhere on earth": 23:59 AoE.

   (And yes, "Anywhere on Earth" is a real timezone, also sometimes referred to as Baker Island time)

Please read and understand the following contest rules. Any entry that violates any of these rules will be disqualified for the contest.
The writer can of course correct the problem, as long as it's done within the deadline. The contest organizer may, at their discretion, decide to give a writer a short extension to the deadline to fix problems if a story submitted on the last day has to be disqualified. This is not guaranteed, so please submit your story when it's ready.
When in doubt, you can always PM the organizer (on ATF Forum) to ask for a ruling if you don't want to share your idea in public.

Contest rules:

1. Contest stories must be your own work, and must be new - that is, not published anywhere else. They must be submitted between the official start of the contest, and the submission deadline. Once the contest ends (i.e., after the results are officially announced), you can repost your story to other sites; until then it has to remain exclusive to ATF.
2. Contest stories must be posted following all the rules and guidelines of ATF Forum and ATF Stories. If your story contains controversial elements (scat, vore, gore, and snuff), then this must be explicitly indicated, not only in he tag list but also in the story codes in the topic title, or at the start of the first post, or both.
3. Contest stories must be explicitly marked as a contest entry, by adding a (contest) story code to the title, and/or by mentioning it at the start of the first post. Contest stories must also include a link to this topic at the start of the first message on ATF Forum, or at the start of the first page on ATF Stories.
4. Obviously, since we are on ATF, your story has to contain erotic elements involving one or more underage characters. For the purpose of this rule, "underage" will be defined as 15 years or younger, or non-human (mythological, alien) looking or behaving as underage characters.
5. All ATF site rules and forum rules obviously apply.
6. Story length should be at least 2,000 and at most 20,000 words.

   (These are hard limits, not targets to aim for. Please do not make your story needlessly longer just because you are not at 20,000 words yet.)

   For purpose of this rule, any opening or closing paragraphs that provide things such as content warnings, story codes, and/or other introduction material that is clearly not part of the story are excluded. Everything else, including titles, headers, etcetera, is copied to the word counter tool at [1] - the number of words displayed there is final.

7. Stories submitted must adhere to a specific writing prompt Determination whether a story meets this criterium is at the sole discretion of the organizer. (Writers can PM me or write on my talk page if they are unsure whether their story idea would be considered to adhere to the prompt, to get an advance ruling).
8. This is a story writing contest. Excessive use of images is not permitted. What is and is not "excessive" is at the sole discretion of the contest organizer.

   (You can PM me or write on my talk page if you want a ruling in advance, or you can remove some pictures if your original submission is ruled to have too many illustrations).

9. Not more than one entry per writer. If you submit an entry and then later submit another story, it will be considered a replacement entry for your original submission.
10. Until the submission deadline, submitted stories can be edited without limitations. To do so, please send a PM to the organizer, to request the change.

    After the submission deadline and until the end of the voting period, writers are not allowed to make any changes, however minor, to their submission. Doing so may result in disqualification.

11. All participating writers must remain anonymous. Do not tell anyone which story is yours. Do not disclose information about your story that would identify which story you wrote. Do not even disclose that you are the author of one of the stories.

    After the contest is finished (voting over and results announced), writers may choose to make themselves known, or they may choose to remain anonymous.

12. In exception to rule 11, writers may choose to ask other people for help, e.g. as proofreader, editor, or in any other way. However, sharing a story, or a draft version, or even an idea, disqualifies the recipient of the information from voting for that story in either the Readers' Choice or the Writers' Choice. Even if they eventually did not provide the requested help. The writer MUST provide the names of all they shared their story with when submitting their story.
13. The organizer can at their sole discretion take any action, such as but not limited to advising writers to make changes, disqualifying entries, disqualifying writers, changing the rules, and more, if they feel that this is needed to keep the competition fair and fun for everyone.

    (This rule is specifically intended as a way to deal with unforeseen circumstances, but will also be used to prevent exploitation of loopholes in the rules)

14. All rules and rulings are always open for debate, but the final decision will always be made by the organizer.

And then, most important: the writing prompt, the special assignment, that will be different for each edition. For this edition, the majority has -writing-contest-2024-i-vote-for-the-writing-prompt.57634/ voted for:
Time travel
A character from one moment in time travels to another. This can be traveling into the past or the future by any means, deliberately or accidentally.

Once the submission period of three months is over, an open poll will be set up, at the ATF Forum, so that everyone can vote to determine the "Popular Vote" winners. And at the same time, writers of accepted stories are encouraged to vote in their own poll for the "Writers' Choice" awards.

To all those who will enter ... enjoy the writing, may the muses be with you, and good luck!!!!
