That’s right, this year’s FenCon short story contest has opened its doors. FenCon VI is running from September 18th through the 20th, but you can submit your short story now. Since I won First Prize last year, I can’t enter it anymore (lucky for you), but all of you are more than welcome to send them your work. I hope all of you do, and I hope it’s one of our listeners who wins the prize. Get to it!
