Hey everyone! The last contest was fun, so I thought I'd do another one. Time to get the creative juices flowing to write another story:

Neoxian's Wonderful and Gritty Cyberpunk Writing Contest

Ok for this contest I would like you to write a short story of the cyberpunk genre. A couple pages or perhaps more. This isn't related to Steem Monsters by the way.

So what's Cyberpunk anyway? The short definition is: High Tech, Low Life. So it tends to focus on the lower, dirtier, grittier side of society in a high tech setting. Cyberpunk deals with themes of blending man and machine, what it means to be human in a world where AI exist, and memories can be altered, downloaded or transferred, and much of your meat body is replacable with machine parts.

Cyberpunk settings are often in a big, crowded city, perhaps like the one pictured above. High in science fiction content, but fantasy elements are not unheard of. The Shadowrun setting has magic, orks and elves but still in a post-modern, techy world, for example.

Ok, the prize. I will select one winner and give them: 100% vote, a resteem, 10 SBD. I'll probably give a few 50% votes to honorable mentions. You have until this post pays out to enter. Please write a post and link it below.

Happy writing! I love this genre and can't wait to see what people come up with.

Cyberpunk is something like Demolition Man by Sylvester Stallone but including magical beings, it seems a good subject to make some crazy stories. 🤔

Excellent neoxian !! Great initiative!!

Hey, man. Definitely looking forward to this contest! This year was NOT my year for school, so I want to get back into the habit of doing work, and I believe that this could be a good start! It's summer now, so I hope to convince my parents to give me the time to think for this. If not, I hope all goes well anyway! I appreciate you and what you're doing out here, Neoxian. Keep it up, and I hope to see you in 4 days! :D
