Thanks to some very kind supporters, the prizes pool is now at 71 bil ISK value. Thank you, nice non-philistine EVE players! Only eight stories entered so far, and 27 prizes to be awarded. It seems like the field is open, but… people are probably writing as we type. EVE writers and college students are real writers-- they tend not get in gear until a deadline is incoming, and soon.
