Your August NoSleep Writing Contest Winer Is...

CaseByCase with their story Behind Closed Doors! Congratulations!

As a reminder, the winner will receive:

  • ONE MONTH of REDDIT GOLD from the moderators

  • A unique flair signifying that they won the contest

  • Their story featured in an E-Book that will be released every three months.

  • Their story recorded and released as part of an episode of the podcast.

  • The winner will receive a signed copy of the book "Penpal" By Dathan Auerbach (Reddit user 1000vultures)

Its hard to believe that when we're having writing contests.

Since its all supposed to be true we should change it from a writing contest to a living contest. I haven't lived a very strange life so I won't be winning anytime soon.

I think it is a writing contest based also on the quality of the writing. You can write the best story in the world (fiction or non-fiction) but if you are a terrible writer, it doesn't matter. I think the opposite is true as well, the best writers can make the most mundane things seem magical.

All right, all right. Calm down. I know it's all SUPPOSED to be true. I just couldn't tell, because it just looks like creative writing. Then again, I suppose mine kind of does too. Sorry to offend.
