John Titor · 10-19-2009, 07:48 PM

Hello and welcome to what we hope will become an annual event, our very own short zombie story comepition.

This exciting and innovative new writing competition offers fiction writers the chance to have their work...well, out there, as well as to receive some fabulous prizes (more on those later).

We are looking for engaging and entertaining short zombie stories, the more original and entertaining the better. Any genre crossover is welcome just so long as zombies are in there somewhere.

For a good chance of winning please don't bore us with what has come before, non stop violent zombie killing action has been done to death. We want something original, mind bending, genre defying or quite simply astounding or just downright fun... anything goes so don't hold out!!

The competition starts.... now!! And shall end at Midnight on December 31st this year, after that date we shall place ten of the best submissions into a public poll on these forums where every entrant and member of this forum can cast one vote to decide who the overall winner will be.

The public vote/poll will be open for two weeks and after that the winner and runners up will each recieve their prizes via the post - lets just hope the postmen aren't too busy striking eh.

All short zombie story submissions should be posted into http://www.zombie-nation.net/forums/...splay.php?f=84 simply create a new thread and put your stories name as the title, simple!

ANY story posted in that section will be entered into the competition unless it breaches the rules.....

THE RULES

All stories should be no less than 500 words long and no longer than 10,000!

All submissions must feature zombies in some way

Submissions are only accepted from registered members to these forums, if you aren't a member sign up now, this is because the public poll will only be open to registered members which means each member gets only one vote and thus there can be no cheating.

All writers must accept that other members of these forums can & will comment about their story within that stories thread

*NOTE: The competition is open to anyone from anywhere in the world!*
