STRING THEORY (Science Fiction Short Story Writing Contest)
Have you ever wondered about how the future will look? Do you think there might be life on other planets? Have you been inspired by the space battles and the epicness of science fiction books and movies? Do you have the imagination to make your own story? Join STRING THEORY - an online science fiction writing contest. Within the span of a thousand words, you have got the opportunity to craft a prose about life, the universe and everything. The only other limits are set by your imagination - and how many light years and eons it could encompass in its tentative grasp. |
