A Return to Optimism
Round 4 open for the new year! Big prizes inside! |
    For this contest I invite you to return to an optimistic version of science fiction. One where the future is appealing and adventurous; where the new is seen as thrilling and desirable; and where our heroes push us forward to better ourselves and all of humanity. Give me a story that will fill me with anticipation for tomorrow! ROUND FOUR PROMPT "No fate but what we make" THE JUDGING PROCESS Stories will be judged on their ability to engage, entertain and excite. Mechanics and grammar will be considered a secondary factor in the judging process, but keep in mind, bad grammar and awkward style can be very distracting and detract from an otherwise enjoyable story!
