Greetings Commanders,With this month being November (we checked the calendar, it definitely is!) and this being what is widely known among writers as NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) we thought: what better way to celebrate creativity than to hold a writing contest of our own? So, we present you the Elite Dangerous Writing Contest! You may remember that a couple of years ago we held a similar contest to write CMDR Origin Stories. We received many entries from commanders who produced gripping short stories that made us laugh, widen our eyes in shock, and even water our eyes on more than one occasion. This time we're expanding the scope of the stories and what to write about to anything that you can think up. The rules, terms, and prizes are below.
