For all lurking contest junkies, here’s a new one brought to my attention from my friend Tom Brosz. Thanks Tom! You only need to create 8000 words. That’s right, a mere eight-thousand! Most thrilling? You have until June 30th to create these wonderful stories.

Baen Books will announce the winner of the inaugural Baen Fantasy Adventure Award at this year’s Gen Con to the best of original short fiction capturing the spirit and tradition of great storytellers as Larry Correia, Robert E. Howard, Mercedes Lackey, Elizabeth Moon, Andre Norton, J.R.R. Tolkien, David Weber and Marion Zimmer Bradley.
