Rose June Mason
A story in which the setting in time and/or place is other than here & now, and in which that setting is significant to the story. This includes historical fiction, fantasy, and science fiction. It also includes stories set in the current time but outside the "western" world, in a cultural setting likely to be less familiar to most readers of SSS. A brief note explaining the setting (particularly for SF or fantasy stories, including Rejuve stories) will not be counted in the word limit.
Crimson Kid
Rogue the Bronze Firelizard
Y Lee Coyote
A story in which the main thrust or emphasis is its humor.
A story using the characters and/or setting of existing published works. This would include 'missing-scene' works based on movies, TV shows, or books, or alternate versions such as Handprince's "If Tom Hadn't been so Noble". It also includes sequels, or works just set in an existing fictional context, such as Star-trek or Little-house spanking stories. Please indicate the fictional work or group of works your entry is based on, in a note before or after your work. Such notes will not be counted against the 500 word limit.
Rogue the Bronze Firelizard
This category is mostly intended for song parodies, but also for
parodies of prose works which don't fit the fan-fiction category.
For example: spanking versions of TV commercials would fit here.
Please indicate what you are parodying in a note before or after your
work. Such notes will not be counted against the 500 word limit.
