(X) Open for Entries until midnight EST on July 31st. (GMT -5) Welcome to The Ever-Generating Story Awards! TEGSA 2026 is here! Can you craft an entire storyline based on ten prompts in a specific order? It's not as hard as it sounds. (Really, it's not.) A song will be assigned to each of your ten main chapters. You may use their titles, the names of the songwriters/performers, or meanings to create your prompt. The best part? You have the freedom to interpret them in any genre you want. You know the prompts are calling your name. Are you ready? (Fanfiction is welcome as long as it's read as a stand-alone, and readers do not need prior knowledge of the original fiction to read it.)

(X) Closed for submissions. While we wait for the TEGSA prompts to drop on July 1st, let's keep our nimble fingers busy. Introducing a mini-contest, well---a musical mini-contest. It is on the TEGSA profile after all. Let's see how this works...
