Writing Contest 2024/I

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. You can vote here https://allthefallen.moe/forum/index.php?threads/story-writing-contest-2023-iii-vote-for-the-writing-prompt.57634/.

Story submissions

This edition of the ATF Story Writing Contest will be open for story submissions from January 15, 2024 until April 15, 2024. Details will follow later.

Voting

After the story submission period ends, readers and writers will be able to vote for their favorite story/stories, to determine the "Readers' Choice Award". Authors of accepted contest entries will also be able to vote for their top three stories for the "Writers' Choice Award".

Since ATF Stories has neither a poll feature, nor private messaging, the voting will be entirely on the ATF Forum.

Results

Once voting closes, the winners of the Readers' Choice Award and of the Writers' Choice Award will be published here.
