I would like to submit this to the Poetry category:

> [@Ramblings of the Stellar Mariner](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/ramblings-of-the-stellar-mariner/362559):
>
> Author’s Note: There is a rhyme hidden in here if you can find it, and it was changed on purpose somewhere along the way, as that was a poetic method for adding another layer of alignment to this piece’s theme. Ramblings of the Stellar Mariner by Auz Prime, father of Zedicon The Abyss… Why would anyone ever wish to re-enter it? Yet we did --by the billions. Perhaps it was due to having spread ourselves so thin, diminishing our unity and connection to the light which could no longer reach …

It may initially appear to be prose, however it is inspired by some famous poems I revisited today, and it includes normal poetic elements such as rhyming.

Does that ‘prior work’ deadline require it to be written after that timeline, or is it sufficient that it is published to New Eden’s public after that date?

As I recall, it’s always been that if something was written but unpublished, it is still eligible.

So if you wrote something in January YC 123, but only published it in June YC123 then it’s fine.

Hrm. In that case, I’m removing the access restrictions on a particular entry in my personal storage, as it no longer serves any operational security to keep it private.

I’m entering [Walking in Myth](https://kynaldrnari.com/2020/06/20/walking-in-myth/), an observational piece on humanity, nationalism, war and a nameless Floseswin city to the contest. I am somewhat unsure which of the four categories it fits best with, so the safest option would be Category Four: Opinion Piece.

Roughly eight thousand words, landing in Short Story classification in length. Recorded in YC122, unpublished to the New Eden public until right now. If that’s not within the rules, let me know.

Edit: There are a few minor mentions of things of ‘improper’ natures, mature subjects and city life, adult audiences only.

For reasons we discussed, i am allowing this in the contest as an “Audit Entry.” Because it doesn’t quite fit within the rules as intended, it is not eligible for a main prize but it will be considered and rated by the judges. Thank you for entering!

Also as of this post, OP Updated with all entries to date. 3 days to go!
