Prompt: Nerd fighter
Max word count: 5000
Submissions CLOSE on July 31, 11.59 pm local (your) time. So you've got one month to write something amazing!

OTHER STUFF
Okay everyone, using the entry fee money to decrease world suck, instead of buying winner prizes = awesome idea. But everyone enjoys a little recognition, don't they?
We're asking YOU (yes, you) to email, tweet, write, message, text, and talk to your favourite authors, telling them about this contest, and asking them if they would be willing to be a Celebrity Shout Out. What a Celebrity Shout Out does is read out the winning entry in a video.
Always wanted to show John Green your writing skills? Ever wondered what Lemony Snicket's voice really sounds like? Now's your chance!
[*Note: Please do not try to contact writers who are deceased. That would involve way too much necromancy and I doubt anyone is prepared to deal with the consequences. No matter how cool it would be to have Shakespeare or Plato read out your stuff, they're busy being dead, so we musn't bother them.
Thank you,
The Management]
