Will entry be considered if submitted on May 15th?

[Elassus_Herron]

My submission for this year in the poetry category:

[ YC 122 NEWCWC Poetry] Poems of the Sky Temple of the Northern Seas

((This is my entry into the poetry category for the Capsuleer Writing Contest. I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of the pre-contact Achur culture, which I’ve written about in previous contests [and which is the subject of a long-form novel I’ve been working on for three years now, being published in chapters over on Backstage]. These poems may be considered singly or as a whole. Hope you enjoy them!)) Voshyu-Vilitin, Tesvakyota Akamaat-Shokkun Poems of the Sky Temple of the Northern Sea…

[Lunarisse_Aspenstar]

Correct. Submitting on May 15th however calculated is fine.

[Saikoyu]

Well, in at the last second. But my two entries as I understand that is allowed.

A story I heard as a child.

[YC 122 NEWCWC Prose] Kitsa's Tale

This is a story that my nurse told me when I was very young. I had never heard its like before and a few days after she told it to me, I never saw her again, my father telling me that I was too old for a nurse. When I was older, I understood why she left, though I didn’t agree with it, and I understood what she had told me, and I did agree with that. Now I doubt she still lives. But I can still tell her story. Once upon a time, there was a land of Kitsa, ruled over by the other animals. Ki…

And a poem I created in pod.

[YC 122 NEWCWC Poetry] Not Man

Something that came to me while in pod. Not Man Why does the Sun call out For worship and war Why does man stride forth To drive obedience in his sway I dance in night, in stars embrace I care not for the sun nor the man The moon brings gentleness in my heart While the night drives fear its own way I cast aside the man and the sun Find the night enthralled I embrace the night And follow evils sway.

I hope they are found enjoyable.

OP Updated with all entries to date. This is the last day for submissions! They’ve been pretty amazing so far. I don’t envy the judges’ task!

[Dantelion_Shinoni]

I submit for entry:

POETRY -

[YC 122 NEWCWC Poetry] Mortification can't be Avoided but Glorification is in our Hands

Since the forums does not allow the use of special fonts, I had to make an external document so the format I wanted to use could actually happen. I humbly ask that you download the PDF document at the following link as my entry for the [YC 122 NEWCWC Poetry] category: Mortification can’t be Avoided but Glorification is in our Hands Cordially, Dantelion Shinoni

STORY -

[YC 122 NEWCWC] Glorification is in our Hands but can Mortification be Avoided?

PROSE - This story is to be read after ‘Mortifaction can’t be Avoided but Glorification is in our Hands’. I heavily advise that you read it first if you have not done so. I awoke from the dream covered in sweat! It’s been decades since I actually had a dream making me suddenly wake up, ever since I became a Capsuleer… I look at my hand, it’s shaking. I pay no mind to it, the shaking will fade away, the enhanced body of a clone takes care of this kind of anatomical anomalies in record times. …

As of 15/05/2020, 22:42.

Cheers!

[Valerie_Valate]

Due to personal circumstances, I will not be submitting anything this year.

[Umbre_Fallenstar]

and here is my entry (hope it isn’t too late ><)

I submit for academic work

[YC 122 NECWC] [KC] The Gravity of new eden

And, finally, here is my complete (and even more than complete due to recent events) analysis of the two years data we collected. It was a long and complexe process. I hope it will be clear enough. If you think any data is missing, you can always contact me and I’ll see with the rest of the Khazad Consortium what can be arranged. Article I mention in my analysis: First Gravitational study Spectral Analyser of Mr Sentinel Looking for Animal Expert Gravitational study at risk early analysis …

@Lunarisse_Aspenstar

“Starlight Ballroom” on Tebu Ankhiman, Tanoo

Is there going to be a livestream from the ballroom?

[Lunarisse_Aspenstar]

Not per se, but people can attend holographically, if they can’t come in person.

[Elsebeth_Rhiannon]

I am afraid there has been a mixup with the timings we discussed. I went by your “I hear you have an event on 13th at 17:00” without checking my own announcement, and only now when I intended to post that people could use the Liberation Day as prep for this one realized that is actually not true.

Liberation Day celebrations is very clearly posted for 19 for the firewords, 20 at the pub.

I suppose I should have remembered or at least checked my own schedules, so it serves me right to miss some folks I’d have liked to share a drink with.
