Win prizes, get famous with Space Squids' Mushroom Men writing contest! photo

Bust out your pads, typewriters, stenographs, or whatever it is you kids are using to write these days! Science fiction and humor magazine Space Squid, in association with GameCock Media Group and RevolutionSF, is holding a Mushroom Men fiction contest. And you're invited.

Using your puny human brain, all you need to do is write a short (preferably intelligent) story that incorporates the Mushroom Men universe. First prize takes home a Wii, a copy of Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars, gets their story printed in Space Squid, and (best part right here) will have their story printed in part or full right here on Destructoid! (Maybe you've heard of us -- we're kind of a big deal around here.)

All of the details on this free to enter writing contest can be found over here. The deadline to enter is August 1, 2008; that's next week, for those of you without calendars. Sharpen your pencils or install that copy of WordPerfect on your Apple IIe -- it's on!

Does the story have to be SFW? Because most stories I write aren't even safe for 4chan.

The Mushroom Men story is actually pretty neat, with a comet crashing into the ground and breathing life into Mushrooms and other low-level forms of life. They create their own societies and of course eventually go to war while humans have no idea its happening. It's actually potentially rich enough that some people could write awesome fiction with it (or awesome NSFW fiction, I guess, depending on what you're into).

this is one of the Wii games I'm really looking forward to.

the art design and "spore powers" look refreshingly new.

we're always crying about the need for new ideas and fewer sequels. here's a game that's really doing it.

the contest sounds fun too.

This sounds like an opportunity to steal directly from Mouse Guard.
