Short Story Saturday: The Sssentence isss Death...

The Judge Dredd Megazine has launched a Dark Judges short story competition*. I've had short stories appear in the Megazine before and recently submitted another one for publication, but I've never written one about Judges Fire, Fear, Mortis and Death.

You can write about any aspect of the foetid four. Your story can be set during Necropolis, the Day of Chaos, or even or Deadworld. It could be told from the point of view of Dredd, Psi-Judge Anderson, or the Dark Judges themselves.

Stories must be no longer than 3,000 words and should be emailed as an rtf file to dreddlines@2000ADonline.com, with your name, address and email address at the top of the document. You are also restricted to just one entry per person.

The winner will receive a stunning replica Judge Death badge, courtesy of of Planet Replicas, while the two runners-up will each get a copy of the Dark Justice hardback collection. All three stories will be published in the Meg in 2016. Deadline for entries is 19 January 2016. Ssso get ssscribbling, sssinnersss!

* The competition is only open to residents of the UK and Ireland.
