Writing Contest 2024/II

Welcome to the 2024/II edition of the ATF Story Writing Contest, the fourth edition overall. This contest runs across two sites: this site (ATF Stories), and the ATF Forum. For this edition, only anonymous 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.

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 March 17, 2024, and will close on March 31, 2024.

Prompt selection

Prompt selection will start after the call for prompts closes. A poll on the ATF Forum will be used. That poll will probably run for two weeks, from April 1 until April 15, 2024. Watch this space for more information.

Story submissions

On or after April 15, 2024, once a prompt is selected, the 2024/II edition of the ATF Story Writing Contest will officially kick off. Watch this space for more information.

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".

The voting process will be entirely on the ATF Forum. Watch this space for more information.

Results

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