The theme for this year's Summer Story Contest is A Getaway Vacation - from One's Self! The main character should be a closeted tglib (trans, gay, lesbian, intersexed, or bi) or potentially closeted tglib character. They are miserable with their every day life and want to break out from it and see if the other side is what they want. You can use the excuse of a Spring Break, Summer Vacation, Convention, or even a staying with a friend's family if the parent's of the main character (assuming they are an underage teen) go on their vacation and that lets the teen to have the chance to try their vacation out! Any other vacation / travel device the author wishes to come up with is acceptable as long as it is the vehicle to allow the character to carry out the switch.
The character must start dissatisfied and progress forward and try the switch to the gender they feel they should be. The character may or may not wish to make the switch permanent at the end of the vacation. That is up to each author.

That's it for the theme. ^^

Entries marked with a star in the first column above have already been awarded their prizes in the early version of the contest, in some cases for more than they would have won in this later announcement. Entries marked with an & won a higher level prize and so are not eligible for the lesser one.

If you won a prize, please, contact me, Erin, via PM or email, and I will send the prize to you by P**P** or via snail mail, your choice. Or you can choose to decline the prize and the money will be added to this month's Hatbox contributions.

Oh! And all winners get a free three month subscription to the Hatbox, just for entering the contest. Just login to http://bigclosetr.us/Hatbox (it's the same login and password you have here) then let me know and I will upgrade your account to the 3month subscription.

Thanks to all who entered, to all that voted via the Kudos buttons, and to everyone who just read the entries and forgot to vote, too. LOL.

And thanks to Sephrena who has been running these contests for a long time.

Any questions you want to ask, you can ask in PM or in a comment on this thread.

Hugs to all,
Erin
