Writing Challenge!
The Infection is spreading and the first severe cases are beginning to take hold.  What was first presumed to just be a cold has morphed into a frightening condition and many people are now experiencing blackouts and hallucinations.  These ‘fever dreams’ often tap into the subconscious and warp the world around them.
Write a short story about your character’s own trip into dreamland.  The story can be surreal or realistic but you are highly encouraged to include other characters.  It’s made up so your portrayal does not have to be accurate to anything but your own presumptions but get their OOC permission first.
Requirements
To give an added incentive a small contest has been added with 1,000,000 gil in prizes being awarded to the best stories.  Categories for prizes include: Judge’s Favorite (1[sup]st[/sup], 2[sup]nd[/sup], 3[sup]rd[/sup]) and Fan Favorite (1[sup]st[/sup], 2[sup]nd[/sup], 3[sup]rd[/sup]).
A vote for Fan Favorite will be launched June 10th and last until June 30th.  Winners will be announced July 1st.Â
Judges Panel
The judges panel will be a secret. Â Judges will be chosen from different Free Companies and will not be allowed to participate in the event.
