Just so I'm sure that I understood correctly... The "sypnosis" is what's usually written at the back of the books ? And "a sample" could be the prelude, or chapter 1 ? And I guess if I can muster all my will on making that story, I have to register using my human name

So the prize is (at best) 23 pounds/43 dollars. Talk about cheap labor. I think the greater prize is getting your foot in the door if you plan to be an author. |

Same here. ![]() Maybe we can make a thread that lists Underempire participants and the general plot and title of their piece? Then we could know who made it and who didn't... Pillz |

3 pence per word, 7000 words. That's 21000 pences. Assuming the pence is what we call a "cent" that's 210 pounds. Or 450 Canadian, which is about a week's worth of money. I'd gladly take 2 or 3 afternoons to get that money, plus being an author in a BL book... Needs to be really good, but worth the try for almost anyone. Plus, if we fail, it could count (use it) as CWC fluff :rolleyes: |

So... A synopsis of up to 1,000 words and a short piece that gives Black Library an indication of your writing style has to be handed in before the 11th of October, after which (should it be approved) you have till the 22nd of November to finish it into a 7,000 word manuscript. *ponders*... Ah well, sounds nice enough for me. Greetz |

I can only encourage everyone reading this to give it a go. You stand to lose precisely nothing. But you could gain immortality in print! Good luck, and get typing! |
