WOOO! EXCITING! COMPETITION TIME!
We've decided to set aside issue slot 1234 for a mini issue competition. That means that when we pass 1234 in the issue count, we'll reserve it as a blank space till for our a competition winner.
So how do I do this?
Simply submit issues as normal, but in the title put [1234 ISSUE]. The best one will get fast-tracked into that slot. You can draft here as well as normal, and we'll still give the same level of feedback as normal. Also, of course, we'll keep an eye out for plagiarism, so you don't have to worry about your ideas being stolen.
What's the deadline?
On Friday 21 June the Senior Editors will decide the winner, by consensus.
If I don't win, could my issue still get published?
Yes, we'll put other good entries into the accepted issue pool, just like we would with any good submission.
Can staff / editors enter?
Yes, but none of the three Senior Editors will be doing so, in order for us to make an unbiased judgement.
Can I enter more than once?
Yeah, go wild.
Hold on, isn't there a prize besides being published?
You get the kudos and adulation of the community, and in years to come NS folk will go "hey, you know Issue 1234? That was the result of a competition that **AUTHORNAMEMACRO** won."
Just like we now say "Hey, you know issue 777? That was won by Drasnia in an issue writing contest themed around gambling. He beat that ass Candlewhisper Archive, don't you know?"
Wait, wait, what's the theme?
The theme is... 1234.
Seriously, just make it something where the issue number is appropriate for the issue, and where we can see what the link is. Something about counting or maths, or whatever. Create, create, create!
Seriously, what's the point here? Don't I even get a special badge?
Hey, it's just a bit of fun! I'll do a Skandilundian Tribute Dance in your honour.
Anyway, let's get to it!
