Competition: [LOREFEST] October 2025

Running
[LOREFEST] October 2025

Sitrep

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

The topic for the month of October is It’s Chewsday Innit. Life comes at you fast, especially in the Brotherhood, but now and again it really is just another Taungsday. No galaxy-threatening plots to stop, no violent battles to be had, no political backstabbing needed. You wake up, you live the day, you go to bed.

But how does your character actually spend a normal day? Do they embrace the calmness? Make their own trouble? Drink some tea and read a book? Hit the club? Twenty-four hours of absolutely normalcy are on the clock. Tick Tock, tomorrow’s problems are for future you, today is a present.
