Authors, write and win money in StoryMash's creative writing contests!
StoryMash, the future of collaborative fiction. And the future has cash prizes! To reward the authors and amateur writers of our creative writing community and encourage collaborative writing StoryMash holds periodic creative writing contests. This is one such contest.
Here is how it works:
On April 20th there were 85 start chapters ranked 4.0 or above that had no subchapters. These are great examples of creative writing and their stories should be continued.
To enter this writing contest simply write and publish a chapter that continues one of those stories between April 21st, 2008 and Midnight June 20th, 2008 UTC.
To make it easy, we added a clock and pencil icon to chapters that are a part of those stories.
(hurry up and write a chapter before the contest ends)
Just to be clear, if you publish a subchapter of a chapter with that icon your subchapter is entered into the contest and you're eligible to win $300!
As with our other writing contests the winning contest entries will be determined by the ranking of our creative writing community. Unlike our past contests ranking will continue one week longer than entries are accepted, ending somtime on June 27th, 2008
Past writing contests:
April 20, 2008 - Trifecta creative writing contest was identical to our second contest since that one worked so well.
Feb 20, 2008 - The second creative writing contest was the first to require entries to continue an existing story.
Dec 20, 2007 - Our first creative writing contest ever, over $500 won!
The prizes:
$150 2nd Place
$60 3rd Place
If you haven't yet registered as a StoryMash author, $300 says you should! Do so now, because you can't win if you don't write.
If you are a StoryMash author (Thanks, awesome! Are you having fun yet?) you're all set. Just find a chapter with the clock and pencil icon that you like and continue its story by writing a subchapter.
Contest deadline is June 20th! The quicker you get started the greater chance your chapter has of being read and ranked by our writing community. Hundreds of authors enter StoryMash's creative writing contest but only three can win. So, hurry up and write a chapter today.

And no contest would be complete without some legalese:
Void where prohibited! This is a peer-reviewed, skill-based, time-limited, contest. No cheating. No plagerism.
