((OOC NOTE FOR ISD - This is specifically an In Character/Roleplay thing - a writing contest to be done by ācharactersā, not the players. The expectation is the submissions, whether poetry, prose or academic ā would be in character or related to the character of to the capsuleer submitting it and people will have rp as part of the process. I also invite comments on the IGS related to this post in a RP vein or other RP in channels! Judging is also on an In character basis. This is the Fifth Year running for this contest so I appreciate if this can be kept in the rp forum like past years))
