Fringe Society Contest

Posted on June 3, 2011 by Shannon

When things take a turn for the shady, it’s a fair bet that someone at the top is pulling the strings.

This week’s contest is inspired by the dark and dubious world of Darren Shan’s City of the Snakes. Write a story about the underbelly of a (real or fictional) society and the person who controls or rules it. Entries must be 1400 words or fewer.

How to Enter:
1) Read the Contest Rules as stated on the bottom of this post
2) Create your gritty, underbelly-y piece
3) Email your entry in the body of an email to fringesocietycontest@figment.com
4) Follow Fringe Society Contest on Figment

Entries must be received by June 10th, 2011 11:59pm EST. Moderators and editors will be selecting the top semi-finalists, followed by a round of voting (by you!) to determine a winner.

Our winner will receive not one, not two- but all three of the books in The City series, in addition to having their story read and reviewed by Darren Shan!
