General Short Story Writing Contest
« on: July 08, 2010, 03:08:32 PM »
i don't usually push contests or the sites that promote them, especially if there is an entry fee.  This one is the exception.

Special contest worth your time and effort.  http://www.all-story.com/contests.cgi  Francis Ford Coppola started it up; what's left to say? Do it!

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

I don't have any clue if it's changed or not, and don't know if it included contests, but at one point, about 10 years ago, the Zoetrope policy was something along the lines of if they published something, then they owned the rights if they decided to adapt it for tv or movie.

I'm a member of the site, even though I haven't been there since at least last year, and I believe that is still their policy.
