Additional bonus prizes will be awarded through random drawings.
Every entrant has a chance to win these special gifts, including

readership of Fandango Virtual's two quarterly publications,
Gator Springs Gazette and Bonfire. We are accepting short
stories of 1,000 to 5,000 words, but we won't quibble about a
few words more or less. Works must be previously unpublished in
any print or online venue and may be in any genre as long as
they have a literary quality. Copyright to the work must be held
by the contest entrant. No sim-subs allowed. Entries will be
accepted from now until midnight (GMT) on 30 November 2005 and
the winners will be announced on New Year's day 2006. Winning
entries will be published in the May-June-July edition of Gator
Springs Gazette in 2006. Authors of other entries which meet
Fandango's acceptance standards may be invited to publish in
future issues of the Gazette or Bonfire.
