Welcome to the fifth Equestria at war Write Off!
Fifth!? Can you really believe it?

This time the theme is: "Magic making way for technology.".

Magic. An ether that permeates the world. For untold ages, magic has been the bedrock of society. It was magic that created the Griffonian Empire, magic that allowed the ponies to thrive in Equestria, as well as Griffonia and magic tied together the world beyond what anyone could have imagined. But times are changing.

Where it once took several earth ponies to plow and sow a field, a tractor can plow it in less time and the telegraph and telephone rapidly brings what was once the exclusive domain of dragonfire to the world.

Technology marches on and magic fades from view as it creates new problems and solves old.

Points are given out in the following category:

• Spelling and Grammar.
• Characters. Originality.
• Story and pacing.
• well it fits the theme

The rules are as follows:

• Minimum Word Count of 1,000 words.
• Maximum Word Count of 10,000 words.
• The story can be M-rated but must not contain pornography or other extreme content.
• The story should fit into the Equestria at War universe. (Don’t worry too much, we’re very lenient with this.)
• English only. We're sorry if you struggle with this, but it's the one language all the judges read.
• All submissions must be submitted to moderation before the deadline, and be in the 2022 Contest folder seven days after deadline at the latest. Click here for the folder.
• The story must be marked and be considered "Complete" on FimFiction by the deadline.

The deadline is 23:59:59 (PDT) on Wednesday, 1st 8th of June.

Prizes
Prizes are still to be confirmed, but they are expected to be similar to previous years' prizes.

Think I'll actually participate this time around

I’m going to do it again!

Let’s go!

I don't see a rule about multiple submissions from one person. Is that a go ahead then?

I do believe that I shall try out my hand at writing a story instead of judging them. I expect it to be fun!

7682493 You can make multiple submissions if you really want to but we strongly encourage you to write only one story. Make that one the best you can. But if you make multiple submissions then you will only have the chance to win one prize.

7682976 The first story to be added to a folder is always difficult to do. Your story needs to first be written to FimFiction's rules and then approved my the moderation queue. I can't see that link you posted right now, so I'm guessing it hasn't been approved yet. It is only day 3 of the contest so there is no rush to get it in.

To add the first story to a group you'll need to go to the story and click the down arrow in the top right. Then press the add to group button. You'll see the groups you are a part of. Select Equestria at War (join this group if you haven't already to see it) and then select the 2022 contest folder.

Somehow I completely missed this announcement, and the deadline is only two days away

7695456 Nooo! I love your entries.

We were considering extending the deadline if there is a demand for it. But currently that's not planned.

Seems strange to have only a one month deadline this time, as I pretty sure it was longer before, but oh well. Likely wouldn't have been able to write anything anyway, sadly

Due to a number of requests we've had we have decided to extend the deadline to be 23:59:59 (PDT) Wednesday 8th June.

I'm just wondering if we are allowed to edit our works before the deadline.

7696584 Yes! You're allowed to edit as much as you want before the deadline.

Also sorry! I thought I had already replied to this...

The contest is now closed! Thank you all who entered.

We have some people with their stories stuck in the moderation queue. If this is you then please send a message to me here or to the community team on the Equestria at War Discord Server. We will still accept your story.

What comes next is the long task of reviewing. Good luck to all those who entered!
