Submission info:
All entrants must be part of the Writers Retreat group.

The Writers Retreat sim allows adult content, and so does the contest.

You need to submit both your story and a cover texture. Both items should be named with your SL username and story title.

The story text must start with the story title and the author’s SL name. 

The cover texture will be displayed on the access/voting board.  The image must clearly show the story title and your SL name. If your story contains adult content, your picture must include “Adult content” or “18+” or some similar, clear label.

If you need help preparing the image, please contact Christy.Christos.

Voting!
Votes are free and limited to one vote per story.
