Contest Rules
Hello and welcome to the 2024 Stray Cat Strut Fanfiction Contest!
Like last year, we're holding a contest for fans of SCS to test their mettle, give fanfiction writing a chance, and to gain access to some neat cash prizes!
This year the contest's prize pool of $1,000USD will be split evenly across four categories:
General Best Ongoing Best Comedy Best Slice of Life
Each writer can submit one story to any one of these four categories starting on the 25th of April 2024! (Yes, you can submit four stories!) Submissions will close on the 25th of May, and the final contest's winner should be determined on the 25th of June (assuming there aren't a million submissions!)
The winners will have their story posted and/or linked on the main SCS story thread for all to see!
You can submit here: https://forms.gle/MTvDJcjNqRY2gsqy7
Below are an explanation of some further rules:
The categories are divided as follows:
General For any story in the Stray Cat World. Best Ongoing For all stories that were posted before the start of the contest and which are ongoing/completed. Basically, for entires that have had dedicated writing. Best Comedy For the funniest fics. Best Slice of Life For the coziest fics.
This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
You can find the story submission form above, but the full rules are just below:
Stories must be over 1,000 words long. Very long submissions are accepted, but be aware that they might tax the judging process. Ideally, 3,000 or so words should be your upper limit.
For the Best Ongoing category, a story will be judged based on its opening chapter alone. Ie: the Prologue, or Chapter One.

Submissions can be made via Google Doc files. Please remember to set permissions so that everyone can read! I enjoyed leaving comments, criticism and chatting about a story as I read it, so please make this accessible if you wish.
To submit a story: Send fill the form linked above!
You are allowed to change, update, and refine your submission until the 25th May! Give us your best!
The voting process this year will be limited to paying patreons only to avoid any tampering or confusion. As with last year the votes will be split into three steps. Each one will cut the number of submissions in half.
Submissions are open to anyone!
On the subject of copyright: You own yours. This contest only gives us permission to distribute your work to participants and voters. I will be asking for permission to post the four winners at the end across a wider audience!
Each person can only win in one category. You can submit in multiple, but if you win in two, the second place winner of one category will be awarded the first-place prize. Each winner will be given $250 over Paypal. If that doesn't work we'll try to find a solution together!
You need to have written the work yourself. No AI please. Though using AI for inspiration and notes is acceptable.
No cover is required. Please submit the story in this format: STORY NAME - YOUR NAME.
And finally, good luck!

Dungeons Are Bad Business
Vee Vales has been kicked out of his home and directed to make his own way in the world. Along with his friend Alforde Armorsoul, Vee travels to the city of Oar's Crest. Once a prosperous and well-to-do city, Oar's Crest has fallen into depression and disrepair. After finding a strange stone that takes up residence in a tattered top hat and introduces itself as Reginald, Vee and Alforde decide to open a dungeon in Oar's Crest to revitalize the city and, more importantly, make some fleurs. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Author's Note: Dungeons are Bad Business (DABB) is a slow burn slice-of-life dungeon core litRPG citybuilder that's focused on the day to day experience of running a dungeon. There will be some action, but it won't be the focus of the story and Vee and his friends will usually overcome their problems with their minds and their pocketbooks instead of their weapons. Since I'm participating in the writeathon, I will probably be uploading chapters almost daily for the duration of the event. Thanks for reading!
