In order to promote my new comic, Mind Crimes, I've come up with what I hope will be a fun contest for all you storytellers.
THE "MIND CRIMES" SHORT STORY CONTEST
"Mind Crimes" is the title of my comic, but what does that title mean to you? "Mind Crimes" is the theme of this short story contest, but I'm NOT looking for fan fiction. The stories can be about anything and be in any genre, as long as they're obviously inspired by the theme "Mind Crimes". The deadline is tight -- September 30, 2008 -- but the suggested word count is just 1000 words, and there is no lower limit. (Longer stories are acceptable, too.) Stories can also be in comic script format!
Free to enter. Multiple submissions allowed. Most popular story receives $100.
To submit your original story, go to the Mind Crimes property page and click the "BECOME A FAN!" button, which will sign you up for a free account with the Zeros2Heroes community (if you don't already have one). Then start a new post with the subject line "Mind Crimes: [Your Story Title]". Post your story.
As I said above, the most popular story will be the winner. So, once you post your story be sure to tell everyone you know to go click the Mind Crimes "BECOME A FAN!" button and then post comments in your story's blog. On October 11, 2008, I will select a winner from amongst the stories with the largest number of supporters.
Email me at genrewriter@gmail.com or PM me here if you have any questions.
I can't wait to see what fun stories people come up with! (But remember, I'm not looking for fan fiction, so please don't set your story in the Mind Crimes universe. And this is not an official Z2H contest!)
NOTE: If you cut and paste from another source, the quotation marks, elipses, and em-dashes will be replaced with question marks once you hit submit. Be sure to edit your post if this happens. Thanks.
