I looked through all the stickied threads and did a search.. what do you get if you win? Knowledge that your writing beat out 3-4 other stories by other authors? A free month of _____? Something else entirely?

I believe you get a plaque posted on your signature, visible with every post you'll make. Now, as Miles Davis observed, you can't eat a winner's plaque, but it carries some honour.
you get a little award that you can put in your signature (like the one in mine only the one for the story contest says "Prose Contest Winner") and yes, you get the knowledge of knowing your story was voted on more than the rest of the entries...along with lotsa congratulations :)
If you ask real politely you might get a spanking with your plague,:pd
I'm sure we could find an administrator willing to volunteer for such duties.
Then again if you're heading the other way perhaps we could send you a subbie holding a nice riding crop between her(/his) teeth. (more volunteers needed)
OF course all the former winners would be green with envy but I'm sure you could handle that. So best get writing while you wait for an official response to your query.
Yours
Truly, Mad

Do I have to take a plague with my spanking, or can I just be plagued with spankings? That might tempt me to enter a story! (Being plagued with spankings, I mean...I can do without the buboes and fevers and such!)
*giggles*
Well, the badge of honour in the signature is better than most things you get for submitting stories online. You normally won't get a thing. Even though it is a small prize, it is thus uncountable times better. You know, zero times anything is still zero.
There's one other thing you get: your story is published in the Winner's Circle. I have linked to my winning stories there in my signature.
Well the plaque can be what your spanked with...
Plaque plague, :confused: I suppose the Plaque would be a bit stiffer and tingly but I hear the plague can get you pretty hot too; at least for a little while.Quote:

Mr. Mad (&Lews),
Did I mention I'm scared of needles? However, maybe terrifying me with needles is what I need to get off the boards and get some writing done! *giggles*
A plaque on both your houses!
Maybe a nice blue one, with "Montague lived here, 1505-1551", in white lettering?
Of course you get one too, Capulet.
hhahaha very funny
