Delicious friends, our first writing competition is here!
It’s Sunless Sea’s first birthday on 6th February. Inspired by the phenomenal Sunless Sea Rap by Dan Bull, we are asking for your finest Zee Shanty.
The shanty can be on any Fallen London/Sunless Sea topic that you please. Life and death, romance, fear, relief, cannibalism, the longing for home.
Bear in mind that shanties are usually sung by a crowd, and often involve call-and-response. Entries will be judged on how well we can imagine them being sung by your crew, their overall Neathiness, and the writing (and rhyming).
It must be no more than 100 words long. We can’t stress this enough. No more than 100 words. We will word count all of them and discard any which are longer. Consider it a challenge of constraint!
How to Enter
Post your creations anywhere on the internet which suits you (tumblr, our forums, reddit, your blog/website).
