《Contests》#PunkWars
Advertisement
Steampunk. Cyberpunk. Mythpunk. Oceanpunk.
Whichever one's punk of choice, it's fair to say there's something for everyone. The deeper one digs into the punk sub-genres of Science Fiction & Fantasy, the more bizarre and obscure such things become, however all do seem to manage to keep a foothold - however weak a foothold that might be - in reality. It might not always be the reality with which we're all familiar, but it's a reality, nonetheless.
But what happens when these different and varied worlds collide? What happens when the power of steam, cogs and gears meet the technological might of cyberpunk or nanopunk? What happens when a world of green crusaders encounters the shiny veneer of a decopunk world?
What happens, quite simply, is this: PUNK WARS!
There really are a massive amount of 'punk' sub-genres, all of which are Science Fiction based, fantasy based, or both. Don't believe us? Check out this . Anything with 'punk' in the title is fair game, as far as this contest goes!
In collaboration with & we want you to select two of those punks (and yes, you can select more than two if you wish) and write a story about what happens when the worlds of those punks you select collide! How you choose to do that, is entirely your decision.

Life of a Core
After a disembodied voice had told him he was what amounted to an exceptionally talented rock, it had been hard to not let it go to his non-existent head. Until, random chance had decided to give him a square kick in the minerals. Which had in turn forced him to fend for himself in an unknown land, all while he attempted to make sense of his place in the world. Truthfully though, all he had really wanted to do from the start had been to bury himself a hundred feet below the ground and be left to his own devices. Yet, for one reason or another, nobody ever seemed willing to leave the dungeon-building core alone long enough to actually make one. Each chapter will average around two to three thousand words, the release schedule is still a WIP but you should expect the first six chapters to be released over the next six days. This is planned out as a dungeon building fiction, but don't expect it right off the bat! The story is a depiction of the everyday adventures (alongside an overarching plot) of what I imagine a dungeon core would experience when thrust into a random environment where everything and everyone tried to covet or eat him. I also really enjoy reading the comments and reviews people leave and would love to get some reader involvement with the story itself, likely through polls at the end of each chapter. I hope you enjoy my story! (If you feel like some of the characters seem familiar, you may have read some older work I wrote a while back under a different account. If you happen to be one of my old readers and recognize the similarities, I'm happy to have you back!)

Sanguine
The Coles are probably the definition of a small dysfunctional family, even if they weren’t the worst in existence; they would probably be lauded as an example of the term. The Coles were a small family though. The father, Oliver Cole, was an asshole ex-football jock who bounced around in small paying jobs after wasting most of his life drinking, drugging and whoring. The daughter, Stacy Cole, was smart, but had many issues including anger, trouble with authority, and occasional suicidal thoughts, and was kicked out of many a school for disruptive behaviour. The son, Mike Cole, was innocent, and tried his best to be kind to anyone and everyone, however his own speech impediment, and slow nature only aided people to bully and belittle him, including his own father. The Coles were indeed a dysfunctional family. At least they were, until they got to the small town near the border between the United States and Canada, Sanguine. Welcome to Sanguine. You will stay. With the exception of the first chapter, each chapter only follows one character. The first chapter is the only chapter in which I will include 'Sides' where it follows a different character. This is a short Lovecraftian story, it won't go above seventeen chapters. Note: the book cover is my first attempt, it might not even remain like it is, I was just tired of seeing the standard 'no cover' thing on it.
