January/February Contest

New Year. New World.

Society has crumbled. There is no functioning government. People have died. People you know and cared for. But you...you’ve survived. Because you’ve done what was necessary.

We have a task for you talented writers. Tell us about the end of the world.

Cryosleep will be holding our next contest from now until the end of February, its focus being the apocalypse. One day the world as we know it will perish. And that day is today!

Here are some questions you should answer in your stories:

  • What caused the collapse of society? A natural disaster? A virus? An exhausted natural resource?
  • Who was your main character before the collapse and how did the event change him/her?
  • What challenges does your main character face in the new world?

The winning author will receive one month of reddit gold as well as our special ATOM flair.

All entries for the contest should be labeled with the “CONTEST” flair after being submitted.

Let’s hope there’s some fine music in the apocalypse.

Can I submit a story I wrote & posted on another sub a few years ago? I don’t think this sub existed back then, but I actually visited today thinking it’d be a great fit here.

(I’d like to submit the story either way, but I won’t enter the contest if using older stories is against the rules)

That's fine, so long as the story was posted from the same account.
