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.
Welcome to StoryMash's fifth contest! This contest is a bold direction for StoryMash, and we're all excited to see how it turns out.
This is a 10 round contest. There is one winning author per round. Each round lasts a total of ten days. There are no designated subjects, topics or genres.
There will be a panel of designated judges, initially selected by StoryMash.
All registered StoryMash users are encouraged to rate and comment on competing chapters. All registered StoryMash users are eligible to win, except for designated judges and StoryMash staff.
Contest #5 rules are explained and discussed in one of Katrina's creative writing blog posts.
