Short story writing contest

Oct 05, 2004 Falconerd link
First, this is a post-release idea, but I still wanted to see what people thought of it.

I think it would be cool to have a fiction writing contest to see who can write the best short story that parallels the backstory. Perhaps the winners could have a rare weapon or a decal for their ships.

The other day I was reading the backstory, and esspecially in the early part of it, from 2140-2310 or so, I kept reading a section and thinking I could come up with a really cool parallel story about a character living in the world described in the short "historical" paragraph.

I'd been thinking the same thing, Falconerd. I'd say go ahead and get writing if you want, theres already a few community sites that host short works of fiction. Hey, maybe if it's good enough it will even be featured on the main website.
