A Winter Tale - Contest Announcement

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, a pale sun was rising over the mists of a cold winter dawn. The bare branches were shivering under a sharp breeze, the lakes were glittering in the morning light. And then...

And then? I don't know. It's all up to you : take a seat by the fireplace, open the gates of your imagination, and tell me your winter tale.



Yup, this is the very first contest I host, and it begins now!
