Annual Entries

These contest entries from young writers of the Circle C annual contests did not place, but they requested their story be posted. They deserve recognition for all their hard work. The most recent year's entries start at the top of the page. Scroll down for past years, all the way back to 2013. Note: stories are listed in alphabetical order as they come in. 

Note: If the link doesn't work, it means the story has been published, but I have not yet announced it in a blog post, so be patient. I post Contest Entries with the Fan Fiction Friday posts once a month until I'm finished. 😊
