The expectation is the submissions, whether poetry, prose or academic ’ 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.

Updated to add the final roster of judges. We also have three entries already! I’ll start a list in the OP at some point. For contestants - The best way to make sure your submission is noticed, is to send me a mail on your neocomm or to post a link here to where you submitted it. ---

Can one take part with 2 story? I would like to write story from the time of ancient when very first independent captains roamed the stars of Providence. It would be the story of exploration, born of CVA and how I met the exalted lord Aralis. ---
