Competition: [Halloween Fiction Series] - Silent as a Tomb

Finished
[Halloween Fiction Series] - Silent as a Tomb

A chance encounter on the edges of the Arx system finds a Collective Dreadnought adrift, underpowered and seemingly abandoned by its crew. A group including your character boards and examines it, only to find all ships and escape pods accounted for. Yet something is clearly not right. The Dreadnought soon isolates itself, slamming its doors into place and isolating itself from the outside world, trapping everyone within. As all communications are jammed and the power begins to fail, your characters can't help but feel that they're not the only ones on board...

Your characters must try to escape and survive whatever lurks within the Dreadnought, and perhaps uncover just what it is that slew the ship's crew as they flee.

The Rules:

  • Entries must be a minimum of 500 words.

  • Each entry will be judged in accordance with the Voice Rubric, with some allowances when it comes to the fantastical nature of the threat and surrounding elements.

  • The use of any of your characters as the protagonist is permitted: Main, Alt, or NPCs.

  • If you do opt to utilise a non-Star Wars monsters, folklore, or ideas, please link them in the document, either in a page prior to or following your story.

  • A snapshot of your characters' loadout must be selected and submitted via the checkbox submission field.

  • Preferred submission format is .pdf. Anything in a Google Doc must be exported as a pdf for submission.
