The wounderful people at Chucklefish are doing a contest for their game, Starbound.
They are asking the community to submit their own 500 word stories. Those selected will be put into the game as books! To make it even better, 5 of their favorite stories will receive shirts and stickers for their entries!
This is right up my alley, so let me introduce my entry:
The brave tale of a human explorer and her encounters with another of the universe's mysterious creatures!
So wish me luck, everybody!
