I've always loved mythology, and since this competition is starting on the Winter Solstice, I thought it would be appropriate to make the theme for this fortnight winter myths.
Guidelines
For purposes of this competition a 'myth' is a (somewhat fanciful) story used to attempt to explain a practice, belief, or natural phenomenon.
That being said your writing task for this fortnight is to create a myth set during the winter.
-You choose to adopt an existing myth, or create your own.
-Your myth does not necessarily need to explain anything about winter time, but it must take place in the winter time.
-Holiday-related stories are neither discouraged nor required.
Deadlines:
-Entries are due by Monday, January 4 at midnight in your time zone. I'll make a post to let everyone know when the deadline has officially passed.
-Votes should be in by Thursday January 7 at midnight. I may give an extension depending on voter turnout and overall number of entries.
-The winner will be announced the day after voting closes.
Trophies:
-I'm not much of an artist, but I have made this lovely trophy for the winner. If anyone would like to offer a better looking trophy just send me a message.
