Story Format Suggestions & Encouraged Behaviour
-
Stories can be in any language! But must fit entirely into a single tweet.
-
Submissions should be original – they should be the sole work of the author/s in whose name they are submitted
-
Stories can be Science Fiction or Fantasy – we encourage a broad definition of what those terms mean.
-
Stories should not feature characters/locations/ etc. that are part of other copyrighted works &emdash; i.e.nothing set in the universes of Star Wars, Star Trek, Stargate, etc.
-
Please include the hashtag #tbsfa &emdash; which leaves 134 characters for creativity
-
Simply tweet your story (including the hashtag #TBSFA as stated above, we’ll pick it up)
-
Unless notified to the BSFA via tweetfiction@bsfa.co.uk the use of #tbsfa will be assumed to grant permission for the BSFA to reproduce at the awards ceremony or within future membership publications.
Administration
-
Of course entries could commence any time but we would encourage entries to coincide with Eastercon so we would suggest start posting from midnight Wednesday March 27th 2013.
-
We would suggest the closing date for submissions is midnight (GMT) on Tuesday April 10th 2013.
-
If anything is unclear, or if you have any questions, please email tweetfiction@bsfa.co.uk
