Subsim Story Contest 2008

[Onkel Neal]

Ahoy writers and scribes!

It's time for another Subsim story contest. First prize will receive $50 and all stories selected will be included in the 2008 Subsim Almanac. Authors selected will receive a free copy of the Almanac with their story printed.

So, sharpen those wits and pencils. Stories should be at least 4000 words, no maximum length. Deadline: Sept 5. Subject matter: submarine history (document sources), submarine fiction, personal accounts as a submariner (sea stories), and art are accepted. Be creative, be original, and give the reader something he will enjoy. Submit as a Word file or WordPad file to subsim@subsim.com (subsim@subsim.com) with the Subject: Here's my story, Onkel Neal!

If you submitted a story before but it was not selected, you can resubmit it. I suggest giving it a careful revision to improve it. This time I would like to include twice as many stories as we featured in the 2007 Almanac. Why not yours?

Any chance you can make it £50 quid :arrgh!: the dollar/pound exchange rate sucks at the mo:cry:

Also when you say art Neil, does that mean I can just SUBmit a picture with no words - or does the pic have to be in a story? :hmm:

Hey you say personal accounts as a Submariner, the only accounts I have are the ones that occur during gameplay, those can be some harry times!! does that count?? Just a thought, if not, I'll have to go the history route!!
