Scifi Contest Update

The contest is now closed. We've received 34 stories this year which, I think, is more than last two years. My thanks for all the authors who have participated. I have so far read three stories in the order I received them and have written out feedback for them. Authors can expect feedback and request for revisions in the coming days. Although, we'll have some stories revised before publication, for the purpose of the contest, stories will be judged on the originals received.
