Autumn Carries More Gold

As always, the premise is simple because I’m a Basic White Girl™ and I can’t hide it when fall comes around (in the northern hemisphere, that is): write a one-shot, short story, or even a full-length story inspired by one or more of the autumn themed prompts below.

--


_ • Follow all Mibba Story Guidelines.
_ • Minimum of 200 words, no maximum.*
   * Chaptered stories don’t have to be finished by the deadline but do have to meet the required minimum to be judged.
_ • All genres and/or story types (original, fan fiction, or true story) are allowed, but I would prefer for stories to be rated R or below—and please absolutely no incest, rape, or smut in any way.
_ • Prewrites aren’t accepted.*
   * I don’t care if you’re entering the story in multiple contests, so long as it’s not already written/posted when you enter this one.
_ • Please let me know of username changes, title changes, or any other things of the sort.
_ • If you have a custom layout, have it be eligible — this means, please no light/neon text on dark backgrounds.
_ • Please link the contest somewhere in your summary or in an author’s note.
_ • You must use at least one prompt and at most, five prompts.*
   * Claim your prompts in your original posts, please. You can change or drop prompts later.

Question, when do we have to have the story posted? Does it have to be after December 1st or can it be before then? This is the first time I've done this before and I'm just really excited lol

@ besidethesea.
You can post it whenever you want before December 1st! Unless someone specifically asks for an extension, I won't be accepting entries after the set deadline day. Any time before that, feel free to post and send it my way!
