(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.)

{Original Story} Vidya Khan is an anomaly. Her powers manifest when she's seventeen -- that's unnaturally late. Things get even weirder when Celestro, the enigmatic company responsible for all things super, offers her a spot on their elite hero team. Saving the world is complicated, and Vidya is struggling to keep up. The Marvels are not the same smiling, golden heroes they are in the media, and getting along with them is actually harder than fighting the villains. And as if that isn't bad enough, supers are turning up dead, and no one knows who to suspect... Because if Vidya has learned anything, it's that anyone can be the bad guy.
