Primus
This is open to anyone and everyone entering PG13 fiction. Any faction, any skill level!

Adultus
For adult fiction only. Strictly NC17! Writers and readers must be over 17 to enter this category as it will contain sexually explicit literature. Again, all factions catered for.

Novus
This section is ONLY for writers who have never posted fiction before. I am hoping to encourage new writers to have a go! Do not be afraid to enter a story. You my remain anonymous, to all but the judges, if you wish.

Novus Adultus
As above, this category is for NEW ADULT writers only, but like the Adultus category it is for fiction suitable for readers over 17.
This category is open to first time ADULT writers regardless of whether they have posted non-adult fiction before.

Poetica
Any Forever Knight poetry.
 

All stories must be a NEW piece of Forever Knight Fiction. This means it can't have already been posted anywhere before the 1st  of October or before entering the competition.  
This rule changes slightly to cater for those entering stories using the URL method. 

Stories may now be of any length. But please try to use the attachment or URL method, if you are able, to post stories over 30 parts long. :) many thanks.
