Are you a fan of Stray Cat Strut? Have you ever wanted to try your hand at writing your own Stray Cat Strut story? Well, now is your chance!

Introducing the SCS Fanfiction Contest! This month-long contest is designed to give aspiring writers the opportunity to showcase their skills and win big prizes.

Here's how it works:

• Throughout the month of March, write a one-shot or the opening chapter of a Stray Cat Strut fanfic.
• Submit your entry to us via DM, either on RR or on our Patreon.
• Entries must be at least 1,000 words in length and must clearly be a Stray Cat Strut fanwork. While there's no upper limit, keep in mind that not everyone wants to read 10K to judge it, so be sensible!
• Plagiarism will not be tolerated and will result in disqualification.
• While AI assistance is not strictly against the rules, we encourage you to write your story to the best of your ability without relying too heavily on AI tools.
• The winner will receive a cash prize of $1,000USD and have their fanfic posted after Stray Cat Strut's next chapter for all to see!

But that's not all! To ensure a fair competition, we have a few rules and stipulations that all participants must adhere to:

• Participants must have access to PayPal for fund transfers in case of victory.
• Participants must be at least 18 years of age or the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence.
• Your story must take place in the Stray Cat Strut universe or use SCS' cast of characters. Feel free to self-insert or create your own unique samurai OC!
• No lewds!
• The winning entry will be subject to editing before being posted.
• Judging will be based on creativity, originality, and adherence to the Stray Cat Strut universe. So what are you waiting for? Get writing and show us what you've got!
• Voting will open on April 2nd, 2023 and close on April 9th. All submissions must be handed in before the 31st of March, 2023.

By submitting your entry to the SCS Fanfiction Contest, you acknowledge that the submitted work is your own original creation and that you grant us the right to use and publish your entry. Any entries found to be plagiarised will be disqualified. Use of AI is (ironically) frowned upon.

Good luck, samurai!
