Welcome to the February 2019 farmpunk fiction writing contest. The theme for this contest is The Ides of March.
The idea is real simple. Write a story where the Ides of March is the theme, but on a farm, featuring high technology as central to the story, and with some major punk attitude. You can brush up on your Ides of March knowledge and mythos over here.
The Particulars:
- Post your story on your Steemit blog
- It should be 1,000 to 3,000 words in length
- Tag it #farmpunk
- Go back to the original contest entry post and drop the link to your story in the comments; if you want to drop it in the comments of this post instead, that's okay too.
The deadline for submissions is midnight on March 14, 2019, where ever you are in the world.
There are just 3 stipulations you MUST adhere to:
- Your story must include farm culture as a primary component
- High technology must be central to the story
- It must convey a punk ethos
Otherwise, have fun and hit us with your best shot.
Samples of Farmpunk
For you noobs who may not have encountered farmpunk before, here are some sample stories for you to digest:
- Altland's Gambit (ain't no chess playin' in this gig)
- Racioppa's Revenge
- The Rusty Robot (farmpunk contest #2 winner)
- The Strawfolk (farmpunk contest #4 winner)
Can you tell a story with the flavor of these? Can you put a little farm in your punk and a lot of punk on your farm? Is your technology high? Then we want your tales. Post them so we can read them, please.
