FLASH PARRISH!
A Parrish Plessis fan fiction competition will be held to celebrate the
release of Crash Deluxe, the final chapter of Parrish's exploits, and
in honour of Thylacon 2005.
The competition is open to both Con members and non-members and will be
judged by Marianne de Pierres and her editor at Orbit, Darren Nash.
Your task is to write a fiction of no more than 600 words, taking
Parrish out of her world, and placing her in a contemporary setting
where conflict arises - e.g. the hairdresser turns her hair the wrong
colour, she gets short-changed at the supermarket, working as a
secretary she gets harassed by her boss, etc. It may be as humorous or
serious as you like.
Winners of the Con-members section will be published on Marianne's
website and in the Thylacon Souvenir Book and will receive autographed
copies of Nylon Angel, Code Noir and Crash Deluxe.
Winners of the open section (non-members) will also be published on
Marianne's website and in the Orbit e-zine and receive autographed
copies of Nylon Angel.
All entries should be submitted to mail@mariannedepierres.com by 1 May
2005. The winners will be announced during Marianne’s Guest of Honour
speech at Thylacon 2005.
