Calling all creative writers! The Second Thargoid War is over, but its scars remain. You commanders, harrowed and broken as you may be, have lived to tell the tale. And that's exactly what we want you to do.
Drawing from your first-hand experiences during the Second Thargoid War, we want you to tell us what it was like to repel the bugs' invasion. It's up to you whether you want to write it from a roleplayed angle, more of a historical fan-fiction angle, or a creative non-fiction angle from the player's perspective. Let us know which you choose, and whichever it is, we want you to draw heavily from the real events of the Second Thargoid War.
We're looking for stories between 600-1200 words. Stories much longer than that may be rejected regardless of quality. If we're sufficiently impressed by your storytelling abilities, you'll win $6. You're welcome to submit with video too, but there's no higher tier of prize this time. Generative AI is strictly forbidden. Don't forget to proofread!
