The Prizes
Win a little bit of cash, and a whole lot of cred.
WYRM’s Gauntlet isn’t a market for fiction; it’s a throw down for readers and writers. But if you win, if you outlast ’em all, we will list your name, your website/blog, and your story’s working title (along with an excerpt, if you prefer) on the champs’ page forever. And we’ll tell the rest of the Internet just how hard you rocked us. We encourage you to workshop your story after that, and take it anywhere you want.
Hey, we’re underground, and are offering what we can. But the dirty little secret is that Mark Twain entered this thing, then wrote Huck Finn. Get me?

** There is no entry fee for this contest. There are only the punk-rocking sounds of pens and pencils on paper, and keyboards on skin. So, is there anybody out there? Is there an echo in this room? Can we get an amen? ‘Cause here comes WYRM’s Gauntlet.
