The theme for this year's Christmas Contest will be the selfless act of a main character helping out someone, somewhere within a story. Either the main character or the one being helped has to be lgbtq! The end result should be the changing of that person's life forever in a positive way! However the author decides to develop the story and plot devices is totally up to the author. ^^ |
| Stories can be any length and chaptered. Stories must be brand new and never posted anywhere else on the Internet or published already elsewhere. Multiple submissions are allowed with only the submission with the most votes of any author's total submissions to claim a prize. Plenty of time is being allowed this year so that our authors can put out some really great submissions. Voting will occur from Sunday December 22, 2024 - Saturday December 28, 2024. The Winner's announcement will be posted on Sunday, December 29, 2024. |

Christmas Contest Update
Author:
Contests:
Okay, this is some bad news.
Due to some mounting Bills, the fact that I broke my foot tonight, I HAVE to reduce the Prize amounts of the Christmas Contest down from $2100 to $1200. The amount will only affect the number of 3rd place winners! If I live any longer the remainder will go to Bigcloset as I get it. I have never had to do this before in my entire history of doing contests here, but I must now do this. I am cash strapped to the max :*(
I sincerely apologize to all of the BCTS membership. *Bows head profusely!!!!!!!*
If I can find a way to eek further prize amounts into it between now and Jan 3, 2025, assuming that I live that long, I will do so!!! I promise you that!

On February 3, I will send out the last of the Christmas contest payouts! I can hardly believe I have made it this far. But I am done, I have a clear conscious that I did things the best way possible and can go.
Thank you all for having me stick around while I could. I am trying real hard to finish posting up for Clara too! She is my last pulled author from elsewhere. Someone else is going to have to take over for me.

Please click on the story links to read any entries that you haven't yet.
Okay, This SUCKS! The pollmaker thingy will NOT allow me to make a multiple choice vote WITHOUT a pay plan. The first one was free. I used that up in the last contest. YIKES!
I am really irritated it requires a pay plan. I wanted free for everyone. Oh well :*(
Okay for this vote then, simply PM me with a header Christmas Contest and select your 10 favorite stories and PM me, Sephrena Miller.
