Story Rules:

1) You must have at least one core story chapter (not including prologues, author's notes, disclaimers, character intros/aesthetics, etc.).

2) Smut, maturity, lgbtq+ stuff is fine in any category. HOWEVER, I do not want pure smut books. By that I mean, I don't want to read something that has more smut than story or has an unbelievable amount of smut scenes. If your story is more than 60% smut, please do not submit it.

3) I don't care when the story was published. It could be published ten minutes ago or ten years ago, it doesn't matter I will accept it as long as it meets the criteria listed above.

4) Any applications put anywhere other than the "Forms" chapter will be ignored.

5) There will be three winners per category and 1-3 honorable mentions.

6) I don't care if you make small edits to your story, that's not a big deal. Just please don't do any major changes such as changing the tense of the story, dialogue style, writing style, etc. Changing small things like grammar mistakes and stuff like that is no big deal. I also don't care if you update your story after submitting to this contest.

7) I don't care if you change the title or cover of the story as long as it's done before I begin judging. If you change the title, please let me know via messages.

8) If you submit a oneshot compilation, anthology, or anything where the story isn't continuous and instead contains several separate stories, then please tell me what chapter you'd like me to judge. I only judge one story per person per category, so I am not going to judge the entire compilation/anthology.
