Hi all! I figured I'd start a thread that offers the entire 2018 Special Contest schedule as well. Use this place to discuss or brainstorm any of the 2018 contests as you wish. :)

2018 Contest Schedule​



Here's the contest list for 2018! Do note that we may change dates throughout the year, though we won't change contest deadlines in the midst of the contest. Please do check back when a contest approaches to verify all deadlines.
As always, these contests are held in addition to the regular monthly contests. The "starts" date is the date we will begin posting contest submissions (though you can submit before then if need be).
The "closes" date is the very last day you can submit. (So long as your story is submitted on the "closes" date, your story will be counted in the contest, even if the story isn't posted that day.)

PLEASE NOTE:
DO read ALL contest rules. We had many cases of authors not putting the proper phrase in the NOTES field, which meant that we couldn't find their submission and thus they were not entered in contests.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do read the special contest announcements when they are posted (usually around two weeks before the contest start).​
