Your efforts, and your enthusiasm are nearly sufficient to make me return to writing science fiction, which was my first love. I now work mostly in the crime/mystery genre.

A scifi crime/mystery -- I'll take it!

I am listening these days to Station Eternity, by Mur Lafferty. Do you know it? It's kind of Murder on the Orient Express, on an alien space station.

Brian Reindel's avatar

I don't, but that sounds super interesting! Is it an audio book or podcast?

Darrow Woods's avatar

It's an audiobook, by a podcaster.

Can I still submit a short story entry? 😬

I just started a new publication last night, and would like to enter one of the fiction shorts from there. Do I still have time?

Brian Reindel's avatar

Sorry, Sujan, you missed the cutoff ever so slightly, but there will always be next season!

Sujan Sundareswaran's avatar

Dang! Next season it is! 😊

Talk to me about outsourcing the badges. agnosia.media@gmail.com

Thanks, Randall! When I get closer to season three, I'll let you know. This is a service that deserves payment, so I would likely review estimates for the work required, but would provide examples of what I'm after. Because you're very familiar with badging systems, I think you would understand clearly what I require.

Cheers, Brian- Lunar Awards is such a fun, well-organized and well-conceived contest. Its very existence encouraged me to create a story I might otherwise never have written, and thus tackle a new challenge that I had not anticipated. For me, this is the real reward- the journey towards the 'great beyond' thatwriting can seek to reach (all genre puns aside), and I am grateful for your vision and hard work in putting this on. Wishing good luck and happy writing to everyone else who took the time to enter.

Thank you, Chris, it's always exciting to hear when an endeavor like this encourages other writers! I really couldn't be any happier with how things have turned out so far. Thanks for your support and encouragement.
