Previously I had tried to do a story writing contest to encourage others to write stories for Gorgonies. Sadly only one person showed up, while many said they didn't have the time or that the original word count (which was 5,000 max) was too small. So I made some updates to the rules and I am extending the contest further to allow more people to participate and hopefully receive better results.

The top three winners will have their stories read on my youtube channel.

Rules:
1. In order to submit your story you must join the Gorgony Group and submit your story in the Gorgony Story Contest 2017 folder (because who knows, if it is any good I may try to make it an annual thing if I have the time).
2. Your story must be between 3,000 and 7,000 words long.
3. Your story must feature a gorgony, a pony like creature with snakes for hair and the ability to turn ponies and other such creatures into stone. Having the lower body be that of a snake isn't necessary but can be included if you wish. Feel free to look at the Gorgony Characteristics List in the group for ideas.
4. You also need to leave a post on the Sign In sheet with your name. This way I know who plans on participating. Simply follow this link and post your name. If you have already submitted a story to this contest then you only need to do this if you are submitting another story.
5. I will allow stories to have the sex tag so long as the sex in the story isn't explicit (or clop in other words).
6. No trollfics. These will be removed.
7. While it isn't necessary having a proofreader or editor look at your story before you submit it will increase the odds that it will win.
8. The maximum stories any single person can submit to this story is 3.
9. All submissions must be received by May 3rd.
10. Have fun writing your story.

The deadline is now May 3rd.

Thank you all for reading this. I will be looking forward to seeing all your stories.

5857527 As with all contests on this site, I'll promote this one on my user page in hopes to get you more contenders. Apparently, this promotion didn't help you much the previous time, but maybe it will be different this time.

Thank you for the extension. I have a story outlined, but not begun and I have other projects ahead of it that are taking me forever. I will try to participate in your contest - I believe I have a good story idea.

5857558 That sounds great. Just make sure to "sign in" on the sign in sheet thread when your ready.

5857693 Thank you. Your support is greatly appreciated.

5857780 That is great to hear. Just remember to sign in.

Just a quick reminder that this contest ends on May 3rd meaning that you all now have one month to write and submit your stories. Remember to go to the sign in page to sign in (if you haven't already) so that I know that you are participating.
