Tyger’s Electric Dreams Short Story Contest #1

tygertyger (65) in electricdreams • 7 years ago (edited)

I decided that I wanted to host a small contest as I have been winning a few contests of my own and thought it would be nice to give back some to the community. My contest will be a short story contest in the Sci-fi genre. The winner will receive 5 STEEM SBD and 1/3 of the SBD this post may generate. The other 2/3 ’s will be divided between the second and third place. _{waves @moneyinfant}

Your mission, if you choose to take it, is to write a short story of 1000+ words (no longer than 3000 words).

@moneyinfant has added your contest to the list Steemit Writing Contests: Issue #67. The list is updated on a daily basis and your contest will remain on the list until its expiration - there's nothing you need to do.

The list was created to save writers the excessive amount of time spent searching through the #contest tag for writing contests. Now they can just come to the list each day, see new contests and use their time doing what they love - writing.

If you'd like to help spread the word about the Steemit Writing Contest List I'd really appreciate a resteem, but it certainly isn't necessary. The project is simply meant to help writers save time and contest creators attract more contestants.

P.S. If you know of any contests I've missed I'd love to hear about them. Thanks!

Shame I am not such good writer and on top I would have to translate from French to English. But if you do anything about Sci-Fi illustrations I might be interested.

Here you go. It's full of plot holes and weaknesses, but it's an entry over a thousand words. Lol. 😎
