SHORT STORIES

1. Everybody's invited to join the Short Story contest!  The rules are easy to follow:

a.  The short story must be K/S, although it need not be explicit.  (If you want to make it explicit, nobody will complain.)

b.  The story cannot be any longer than ten pages, using this formatting:  Times New Roman, twelve point, margins of one inch around, one line between each paragraph, indent each paragraph. 

c.  The story must include one of these three words: 
                          toy, cutthroat, bucolic. 
Special mention if you work all three words into your story!

d.  Limit:  Two stories. 

e. You do not need to be a member of the convention to submit an entry into any of our contests.  No need to be present to win. 

f.  Send your entry to kiscon2004@aol.com no later than January 15, 2004.  If you need to use snail mail, send to

KiScon 2004

Early entries receive our desperately profound gratitude.  Write early! 

g.  Only con-goers get to vote for the short stories;  choices are emailed or mailed to KiScon2004 in the two weeks after the con.  Winners are announced in The K/S Press and on the online list KirkSpockCentral in early May.  Prizes and really nice certificates for the top three! 

All short story entries will be printed in The KiScon Zine:  2004.  A version of the zine without author's names will be in each con-goer's goodie bag, and the con zine will also be sold as a fundraiser for the convention through Beyond Dreams Press.  Each author receives a copy of the zine, of course.
