Welcome to Scholar and Scribe's monthly genre-focused fiction writing competition! If this is your first time here, we're thrilled to have you! Allow me to introduce myself and this wonderful community:
My name is ThinkrDotExe, your friendly neighborhood dork, family man, and professional counselor by day - content creator and amateur writer by... whatever free time I have. I've been writing fiction pieces for Scholar and Scribe almost since their formation. Scholar and Scribe is a community of writers and authors dedicated to creating and curating high-quality creativity in just about whatever form it takes - short stories, poems, serial stories, etc. - with a specific bent towards fictive literature. Rants, discussions, journalism, and other similar works likely won't perform well here because we're all about the fabrication of a well-spun story, and there are some incredible storytellers in our ranks! If you don't believe me, just scroll the community posts for a little while, and you'll see what I mean. Also, the two-token system that rewards both authors and readers for spending time in S&S is a pretty nice benefit too, but hey, don't take my word for it... see for yourself!
Enough about us, you came here for one thing: COMPETITION! It's literary blood sport where your foes are vanquished and you stand upon the pinnacle of victory with the wind in your hair, screaming to the sky as you revel in the glory!... Okay, maybe I got a little carried away, but I'm sure you're dying to know what this is all about, so let's get right to it.
Every month, the stakeholders in S&S are going to decide on a genre and prompt for the contest. If you're a stakeholder and haven't yet made it into our community space on the Hive Pizza Discord, pop on in and ping 
Winners will be chosen on the last Saturday of the month and announced in a post showing ranking with a link to their piece, as well as some honorable mentions for runners-up. The rewards for placing are as follows:
May the odds - and your creative energy - be ever in your favor!
The prompt for this month is:
THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION IS JUNE 25TH, 23:59 UTC-5

Your panel of judges for this month: 
As always, take care of yourselves and each other, and stay thoughtful!
Your friendly neighborhood dork,
~Thinkr
