I would like to go ahead and submit "The Question" for the First Chapter category; it's the first chapter in my new superhero serial, "Quarks of the Heart":
Hi Brian! After much internal hemming and hawing, I have decided to enter a First Chapter submission. What the heck! My serial is a crime novel set in the year 2048.
Hello! Putting Chapter 1 of "The Illusion of Fear" in for the First Chapter category (gaslamp fantasy with art theft and a little queer romance on the side). Thanks for the opportunity :)
Submission for the short story contest: "Contact Tracing" - a near future science fiction story about the measures public health might insist on to deal with really nasty diseases.
What the heck, I'll throw a hat into the ring. Competition seems fierce for the First Chapter category, so let's make it a little more so! This is Chapter 1 of my ongoing fantasy adventure mystery, "The Castle on the Hill."
Very excited to participate in the First Chapter Category of the Lunar Awards Season Five.
Below is the first entry of my story "The Synod's Gambit". It's about an ambitious necromancer who, after the successful resurrection of a courtesan, finds himself at the heart of a deadly conspiracy that threatens to shake the foundations of the Kingdom:
I wanted to make it available to everyone without changing my settings where all posts get archived behind a paywall after 1 week, so I added a paywall break at the very end.

Hi Zoe, it says the post is paid. Is that just the comments that are paid, or is part of the post missing?

I've returned in the nick of time! :) I'm adding "The Servers" for your consideration 🙏
