A contest inspired by the serious need for more good sci-fi

Banner Created by AE Wilcox, Sponsored by eyestar-


Welcome back to the Science Fiction Short Story Contest, where each month will offer a new and broad prompt for a science fiction story. Here, you can bring your hopes and fears about science and technology to life.



The Rules


What I'm looking for

September Prompt: Rot
In honor of the home repairs I've been engaging in for the last few months (actually, mostly paying experts for), in September any science fiction short with rot or decay as a theme will be accepted as a valid contest enry. May the most decayed and putrescent entry win!
