Its premise is<br \/>\n<em>SOMEWHERE ELSE<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For this contest, write a creative, compelling, well-crafted story between 1,000 and 5,000 words long in which someone or something important to the story is not where it\/they always have been, or where it\/they would be expected to be located, or is in the process of changing their location from where it\/they have always been. The distance someone or something has moved (or is moving) is not important, but the change in location must be important to the story. Whether this new location is an improvement or a problem is up to you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GENRE RULES:<\/strong>\u00a0No fiction aimed at readers younger than 12, no exploitative sex, no over-the-top grossout horror. Also, no stories that are obvious parodies of existing fictional worlds\/characters created by other authors. (For the same reason, we do not accept \u201cfan fiction\u201d.) Follow those rules and we\u2019ll take anything from the most super-realistic literary drama to crazy farces (real-world or otherwise) to any variant of science fiction or fantasy you can imagine. Read our past issues and you\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n<p>DEADLINE: 11:59 PM Eastern Time,\u00a0<strong>Friday, March 28, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One entry per author.
