Please note that writers for the Pod & Planet fiction contest have to enter their stories using a specific, but quick and simple procedure. The purpose is to make sure I don’t miss any entry, and to nudge me into doing the steps needed to properly get it on the scoring sheet for the judges and on the website for the readers. Like air forces around the world, this high-precision event relies on redundant systems. Said another way, “Many hands make light work.” -Anonymous slacker from olden days
How to Submit Your Work
1) Post your story somewhere on the internet where it can be accessed by the judges and readers. Examples: The EVE Fiction forum, pastebin, Medium, Backstage Eve fiction forum, or any free blog host such as Wordpress or Blogger. The URL will be shared with the public, so don’t post in a password-protected place.
