We have an exciting lineup of writing events happening in 2023!  We're still fine-tuning the details, so stay tuned for further information about each event.

 

4 months from now we're bringing you a Poetry Anthology - Exploration!  All Submissions due Saturday, April 1
Many of the usual anthology procedures will still apply, but ask questions below, and we'll make sure the information is included in the Rules/Discussion topics posted soon! 

7 months from now we're having a Secret Author Story Contest! All Submissions due Saturday, July 1
More info on theme and rules to follow soon, so make sure you follow the Site Fun and Games blog to learn more. But above all, it's a secret... so shh!

10 months from now we're having the Leap of Faith Anthology! All Submissions due Sunday, October 1
Stories between 1,000 and 20,000 words and poetry collections of up to five poems will be accepted, with most of the usual rules in effect (some may be subject to change). Anthology topics will be posted soon, as usual, but some posting guidelines or details may change so keep following the Anthology blogs and topics!

And the first anthology event is due on April Fools Day.  How appropriate.  I might have to Explore that one as well.

A poetry anthology! What a way to jumpstart a new year’s resolution to write. :)

April is National Poetry Writing Month, so I thought it would be perfect timing to feature the poetry anthology then.  I also chose the theme of Exploration in the hope that authors would decide to explore writing some poetry.  I'm glad you feel inspired to participate!

Oh, I've written a few poems for GA before, and I believe at least once for a Poetry Anthology.

Secret Author contests are a favorite of mine. The best part of blind gift fandom fests were guessing who wrote what. Will we get a chance to guess who wrote which story for this contest, out of curiosity?

@Cia will be running the secret author contest.  In the past there have been threads where people guessed who wrote what, but I don't think they were an 'official' part of the contest.  I'm sure something similar will happen with this one as well. I agree that guessing the authors was a big part of the fun of those contests.
