LOREFEST is a monthly Voice-sponsored fiction competition that awards bonus Clusters of Ice and First Level Crescents.

The topic for the month of November is Swapped Alignment

Light, Grey, Dark. Our characters are motivated by different goals, and interpret their own sense of morality to live in the galaxy. A day that would be a day like any other takes an unexpected turn, when your character awakes to realize they abhor their previous alignment and must make rapid life changes to adhere to their newfound philosophy. Write a story exploring your character coming to terms with their new alignment (Light to Dark, Grey to Light, etc) and the struggles they face attempting to bring themselves in line with their new outlook.
