"Spec the Halls" Writing Contest

On Mirathon's blog, I found reference to a holiday speculative fiction writing contest. It offers small cash prizes and large kudos. Now, amidst all the card writing, cooking, decorating, socializing, shopping, wrapping, unwrapping, and whatnot, you have the opportunity to do something for yourself by sending in your best speculative short and gaining a bit of recognition. As the guidelines mention, you'll be able to spread "the joy and delight of the spirit of Christmas [by] twisting it to your own ends." Check out the contest guidelines here: "Spec the Halls."
