The Rules: Please read CAREFULLY!

1. This deadline for the contest is the last day of the month of the contest.
2. Entries for the themed contests must follow the theme of the contest.
3. Stories must be between 4000 and 10,000 words.
4. Bethany's Woodshed will accept material in which underage teens are spanked. However, any female with whom there is overt sexual contact (as opposed to spanking) in a contemporary story must be 18. In historical, fantasy, or sci-fi any woman with whom there is sexual contact must be sexually mature and old enough to be considered above the age of consent in her time or place. We are not interested in stories where children under the age of 13 are spanked except as a brief mention of a main character's recollections of childhood.
5. Anyone may enter, including former winners and writers we have paid. Our contest coordinator - Babs - will know the identity of the entrants (and will be judging), but other judges, including Bethany, will not.
6. At our discretion, should a former winner or paid writer win, we reserve the right to assign a new penname to the writer for the publication of the story.
7. Story lines for our contests must be new and unique. Please do not send continuations of story lines you have already started for us in to a contest without contacting Babs or Bethany first. We do accept entries that are "Chapter 1" of longer works.
8. All winners must be willing to provide proof of identification and be willing to sign a release stating that it is the author's original work. (Click here to view the release.) This is to protect us from someone entering another's copyrighted material to the contest. No prizes will be awarded under any circumstances until identification is provided. ABCD Webmasters reserves the right to not award all of the prizes in a given contest.
9. All prizewinning stories become the property of ABCD WebMasters for exclusive internet publication for two years.
10. Please access our entry form by clicking here. Any inquiries about the contest should be sent to herwdshed@cox.net. The story should be sent as an attached document - Microsoft Word preferred. The story document itself should contain the story title, the author's real name, author's preferred penname, and author's E-mail address. This identifying info will be stripped from the story before it is submitted to the other judges for judging. The E-mail accompanying the story should also contain the story title, author's real name, and preferred penname.
11. All entries will be acknowledged within 48 hours. If you do NOT receive an acknowledgement, it is your responsibility to follow up.
12. Winners will be announced by the fifteenth of the month following the contest.
