Update, 8.11.2024: We've shared the winning story and snippets of the others in a piece of curated content: EVE Online fan fiction
No remorse! Having run one for each of the other major empires, now it's time to tackle the patriotic, capitalist, authoritarian, and militaristic state - the Caldari. You can choose to set your story deep in Caldari space or base it on existing legends. However, if you'd prefer, you can also link your tale more loosely to the Caldari, such as the tale of a young pilot dealing with the pressures of their duty.
Please use no more than 1,200 words in your submission. If they're much longer than that, they may be disqualified regardless of quality. Feel free to include images. You're also more than welcome to enter this bounty with a video story. If you do, aim for at least three minutes of video.
As always, the winning stories will be judged on community reactions and our own judgement of quality and creativity.
Flash-fiction writing advice: Often, aspiring authors of flash fiction fall down by trying to write an entire story, complete with beginning, middle, and end. Flash fiction doesn't need to do that, and is usually better when it doesn't. Flash fiction can leave readers wanting more. It can leave questions unanswered and mysteries unsolved. Sometimes, it can be a single scene. To maximise your chances of winning a prize, we advise you keep that advice in mind.
