The story must be based on true events? No, that is not the case.

All genres are welcome, no matter if fiction or non-fiction.

Please mind that fiction or non-fiction has nothing in common with the topic.
You can either make a story completely up (fiction) or depict events that
actually happened in reality (non-fiction).

There's absolutely no disadvantage for entries that are non-fictional or fictional.
This is a choice you've to make and we just want to know about your decision.

Therefore we ask our participants to write FICTION or NON-FICTION on their story's title page.
