How Can I Get Into The Anthology?

Everyone, no matter what their level of writing experience, can contribute to the Fantasy-Faction Anthology in some way, shape, or form.

The main ways to gain entry are:
If you win the Fantasy Writing Contest (6 places).
If you are a Fantasy Author who would like to contribute a short story.
If you are a Fantasy Author or someone in the industry who would like to contribute an article.

However…

The easiest way to get into the anthology, is to take part in the Faction Tale. Faction Tale will be a story written by our online fantasy community, which could, quite literally, go anywhere!

How  will this work?

Well, the Faction Tale will allow you and anyone else in the entire world to help write a fantasy story line by line. Each person will be allowed to write up to 30 words that follow on from the last users 30 words. For example:

User A: The sun had long since set and the grass below our feet seemed silver beneath the crescent moon that hung in the sky.
User B: Not far from where we stood, torrents of wind battered the stone grey walls of Antila Castle.
User C: The Royal Building was struck with such force that the crashes, arriving in waves, had meant that the three hooded men, dressed in black cloaks, had made it, undetected, to the Royal Stables.

At time of publication, this will then be edited down into a story for the anthology:

The sun had long since set and the grass below our feet seemed silver beneath the crescent moon that hung in the sky. Not far from where we stood, torrents of wind battered the stone grey walls of Antila Castle. The Royal Building was struck with such force that the crashes, arriving in waves, had meant that the three hooded men, dressed in black cloaks, had made it, undetected, to the Royal Stables.

Writing Advice

"It's possible to have a paragraph of exposition that includes wit, observation, humor, danger, or any other powerful tool you care to pull from the story telling toolbox. Make it interesting just not in what it conveys, but how it is conveyed."
Doug Hulick - Among Thieves
