The rules for writing can be quite obvious, but to those of you who are new to the author world, here are some basic guidelines:

1. No copying work from other sources from anything from online to actual books.
2. They need to follow the theme.
3. All short stories need to be approximately 100 to 1000 words.
4. Only the user who submitted will receive the prize.
5. You must submit your piece by using a google docs link or a pastebin link.

Do note more rules could be added in the future!

Winners are chosen for various reasons: the obvious one being proper grammar and punctuation but we also focus on the creativity one uses within the theme and if the readers can imagine being placed in the writer's words.

In the times that we cannot choose just three winners, we turn to submitting names into a randomizer.

Every submission is a good read and it’s very hard to judge each week due to the high submission rates since opening the article.

Each and every one of you who submit is a great and creative writer no matter the result!
