Creative Writing Contest: Fountain Pens Optional!
Imagine the possibilities.
Hundreds of years ago, when Victorians looked to the heavens and imagined reaching the stars, telephones were for the rich. Horse-drawn carriages filled the streets. Electric light bulbs were slowing replacing gas lamps.
The Coldwater Steampunk's Annual Writing Competition invites you to travel back in time, and create an alternate universe with life in other universes and around the globe.
Grab your fountain pen, quill, or speech-to-text generator, and GO TRAVELLING!
