Subsim Story Contest 2008 - Winners!
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 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? best Neal UPDATE: 9/14/07 I am pleased to announce the winner of the 2008 Subsim Story contest: Almost Successful: ARA San Luis War Patrol Mariano Sciaroni With J. Matthew Gillis Quote:
Chris Weisensel: Puppies of the Pacific Andrew Glenn: The Krusanov Ultimatum Kit Walker: Der Schlafende Drache Alan ‘Chock’ Bradbury: Do You Believe in Miracles, Jake? Wayne K. Mathias: Der Spanier All authors published in the Almanac will receive a complimentary copy of the book when it is published in early December. Additonally, I am considering several other stories submitted for inclusion in the 2008 Submarine Almanac. I will notify these authors pending final editing of the book. Many thanks for submitting your work! Neal |
Hi Neal,
Yes! Another Almanac coming!! My boss told me he raised my mid-year bonus and now this. What a tremendous day! Just a question: Only fiction stories (as in the 2007 contest) or can we write about "real" history, personal experiences / another submarine related topics???? |

thanks! Neal |
When do they have to be in by?
PD |
Up Periscope...Shooting observation...bearing, mark! Down periscope.
:ahoy: :lurk: Load tubes 1-4 |
Is there a deadline at all?
And how closely connected with subs need it be? I've got a couple of ideas. |
Deadline: Sept 5. Subject matter: submarine history (document sources), submarine fiction, personal accounts as a submariner (sea stories), and art are accepted.

What rules are there about profanity?
Sailors sometimes have a tendency (or at least a reputation) to swear, and I certainly wouldn't want to have a story excluded due to language. |
$50 would come in handy. I'll see what I can do.
