Has anyone ever run a competition for EA related short stories?
Why would this be a good idea? * Narratives resonate with people and have been used to convey ideas for 1000s of years * It would be low cost and fun * Using voting on this forum there is the same risk of “bad posts” as for any other post
How could it work? * Stories submitted under a tag on the EA forum. * Rated by upvotes * Max 5000 words (I made this up, dispute it in the comments) * If someone wants to give a reward, then there could be a prize for the highest rated * If there is a lot of interest/quality they could be collated and even published * Since it would be measured by upvotes it seems unlikely a destructive story would be highly rated (or as likely as any other destructive post on the forum)
Upvote if you think it’s a good idea. If it gets more than 40 karma I’ll write one.
