Well, it's that time of year -- time for teachers to demand a report on summer activities, at least, it's traditional in North America to do so. So, here's the deal, a contest that isn't a contest.

Last Day To Get Your Assignment In!

Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to write a short story, first person, about something interesting in a transgender way happening to your main character. Stories should be standalone/solo but may involve series characters, in a non-canon way if desired.

Responses to the challenge will be accepted during the first three weeks of September 2009. I have a way planned to acknowledge excellence, creativity and fun for the last week+ of the month but there are no prizes and everyone who enters lets the readers win!

Remember, first person, standalone, complete, short story about a transgender experience during the summer. (Southern hemisphere writers can substitute the winter if they like.) No prizes, so no pressure, right? There's a category/keyword/tag under contests for entries in this challenge.

Go for it!

Hugs,
Erin

The challenge ends September 21, 2009, but of course, you can write more such stories after and tag them with the Back-to-School category, they just won't be eligible for the non-existent prizes in this non-contest. :) And older stories that fit the theme can now be added to the category, if the author wishes. I'll sort out a few of entries for some recognition by the end of September or before but I have to say, this was a VERY good challenge, lots of good stories posted and it helped make September, 2009 the leading month for standalone stories, ever, so far. :) Thanks to all authors, commenters and readers. -- Erin
