*** Attention all sub story writers!! ***
 

Subsim is having a contest for the best submarine stories. If you like to write war patrol diaries, submarine fiction, and U-boat stories, send us your best. The top submissions will be included in a special project book we are putting together to celebrate Subsim's 10th anniversary.

The story should be in Notepad, don't format it or use Word. Simple Notepad. You will get a chance to edit the story with any special punctuation or formatting before it goes to print.

The top story will win $50 and a copy of the book. The top 4 behind the winner will get a free copy of the book. Authors will get full credit.

If you posted a good story in the forums, copy and paste into Notepad, clean it up, and send it in.
