2023 Cyberpunk Nightmare Night Story Contest

🎃Cyberpunk Equestria Nightmare
Night Story Contest🎃

Hello everyone and welcome to the second Cyberpunk Equestria Story Contest. 

I started this contest with the desire to bring life to the Cyberpunk Equestria group as well as encouraging the creation of more cyberpunk stories here on FiMFiction. 

This time, I thought it would be fun if we tried working some Halloween/Nightmare Night themes into the stories as well. 🔪

Now onto the rules.

Rules

• Your story must possess cyberpunk elements. These can include: cybernetics, dystopian cityscapes, hacking, cyberspace, corporations controlling almost everything, robots, hovering vehicles, etc…
• It must also include Halloween/Nightmare Night elements and must take place either during or around Nightmare Night.
• The story can be either a future or alternate universe of either Gen4, Gen5, or even EqG but must take place in Equestria. 
• AUs and OCs are allowed, just be aware that the judges might not be aware of any worldbuilding/lore outside of what's in MLP.
• The story must be SFW (Safe for Work). It can have implied sex, but no actual clop. Also NO foalcon and no incestuous pairings. 
• Aside from the Fetish tag, all tags are acceptable.
• Must have at least 2,500 words with the upper limit being 20,000 words.
• It MUST be a new story and can't be one that you've already published.
• When submitting your story, make sure you put it in the 2023 Cyberpunk Nightmare Night Story Contest by midnight on November 3rd 2023 and the story must be complete at that date.
• You are allowed to post multiple entries, however only one may win a prize.
• Have fun. 

The contest deadline is November 3rd (that way it doesn't interfere with work) at midnight (PST).

Feel free to ask any questions if you have any. 

The judges are: Calmflame, Moproblems Moharmony, Short-tale.

They will be judging the story on:

• How well the story portrays the cyberpunk setting/elements and Halloween elements.
• How good the story is and how well the characters are depicted. 
• How well the story is written.

There prizes are as follows:

• 1st Place: An art piece by Spectra_Sus, Flat Full Body image.
• 2nd Place: A Half Body Full Shading art piece by Spectra_Sus.
• 3rd Place: A Headshot Full Shading art piece by Spectra_Sus.

Here’s an example of Spectra_Sus’s artwork:

Prompts
Here are just a couple fun prompt ideas that you could use if you're interested:

• The main character get's a new cybernetic limb only to discover that it is possessed by the ghost of it's previous owner.
• The main character goes out for Nightmare Night and discovers that they are being stalked by someone... or something.
• The main character learns that their friend is actually a vampony (either naturally or maybe the accidental results of cybernetics).

Also feel free to take a look at these as well.

And there you have it. Thank you all for reading the information on this contest. I look forward to seeing your entries.
