Hello fantasy writers!<\/p>\n

Last month, Tellest hosted a writing contest where we asked fans of the genre to create a holiday for Tellest.\u00a0 Unfortunately, due to our still small web presence, we only had one story submitted in time, and that was done by a member of our internal team.<\/p>\n

We want to spread the love outside of the established stable of writers.\u00a0 Kevin Gallagher’s “The Night Before Nadeus”, a tale about a Tellest version of Christmas will release on this website.\u00a0 But, being as he was already on our team, we’re stealing last month’s prize, and rolling into this month’s instead.\u00a0 We will send the writer of the best story this month kindle eBook(s) with a total value of $10 or less.<\/p>\n

In two weeks we will be celebrating the passing of another year.\u00a0 We’ll be setting new resolutions for ourselves, and looking back at what affected us the most in the prior 365 days.\u00a0 For Tellest’s writing prompt this month, we wanted to explore that concept, though maybe in grander fashion.<\/p>\n

In 1500 words or less, invent a character for Tellest, and then describe his or her favorite memory.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Again, we want to try to be as open to ideas as possible.\u00a0 As such, the character doesn’t have to be human.\u00a0 It doesn’t have to be a happy memory, either.\u00a0 Feel free to let your creativity take wing!\u00a0 We look forward to seeing your tales!<\/p>\n

Official Rules<\/strong><\/p>\n
