Fantastic Voyages

Uncharted Waters is pleased to announce our 14th Contest, 'Fantastic Voyages'.


While there's a lot to be said about technical accuracy
concerning submarine stories,
Much of the charm of Voyage was in the more
'unscientific' adventures the crew experienced.


Some of the most memorable shows just...
well, they didn't make much sense at all.

To that end, here's an unapologetic salute to the rather fantastic plots
that made us all shake our heads in wonder.


This is your chance to let your imagination loose:
the show gave us frog aliens on Venus,
a flame monster that was just a flame,
a mummy that just wouldn't stay put,
a lobsterman... you get the picture.
Now, it's your turn!



The Challenge:
Write a story that focuses on the fantastic rather than the logical.
Think about magical creatures,
unlikely life forms,
odd settings,
and all manner of things that defy logic.

The setting can be on or off the sub,
and can be any length or tone the writer wishes.


Submissions accepted from September 4, 2004 to December 3.
Posting of all entries will be on December 4.

Please note: All regular submission rules apply.


So, here's the perfect chance to get to explore
how flexible your imagination can be.
Please put pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard,
and let the creativity fly!
