Group-Sponsored Breaking all Boundaries Contest

Group-Sponsored Breaking all Boundaries Contest

Details

Deadline:Mar 8, 2019
Fee:Free

We over at The Transgressive Mind Group ask you to drop your inhibitions and get into the spirit of transgression: Stories should cover topics that transgress “normal” societal values. No topic is taboo, and therefore, we encourage you to push the limits. We have a saying over in the group: Don’t hit the brakes till you hear the glass break. What glass will you break as you slam on the gas spiraling into an otherwise uncrossable boundary? In other words: If there’s a line you want to cross (and then do a dance on the other side), we over at The Transgressive Mind want to read your story of doing just that!

If you've never heard of Transgressive fiction, Google is your friend. Be careful little eyes what you see.

Entries will be judged by M. Kuriel, Kristin Cline and Chris Brereton (and other members of The Transgressive Mind if deemed necessary).
