This isn't your ordinary writing contest: for each round, there will be various topics that must be addressed by a short story. Sounds normal, right? It's not! Each prompt will be focused on a geographic location of Middle Earth, many of which receive little to no attention. So strap on your leather boots and shoulder your travel pack, because we're going on an adventure!! Title credit goes to @Silvan_Elleth, who wanted me to make a point of it being her idea.

NBR'S CURRENT CHAMPION REVIEWER: @LLMontez Testimony: I am floored at the level of amazing analysis, it was like having a large group of beta readers. - @h_coyle Because of all of you and NBR, my story is now ranking in fantasy and continues to climb! - @ktflynn Being spotlighted on NBR helped my story SO much! I got some incredibly useful tips and my story even made it to the What's Hot list in the Romance genre! - @AmeVicky02 I was overwhelmed - I can honestly say this is the most thorough feedback I've been given on anything I've ever written (tears up) - @twin_cities Being in the spotlight is cray to the zay! I was overwhelmed with the amount of positive, helpful, and inspiring comments we received. The NBR contest is full of amazing people and is really cool to be a part of. - @KaraMichelleBooks I can't even begin to explain how hard it was to choose a winner and two runner ups. I want to keep you all chained under my bed so I can trade you food and water for feedback. - @cjbirch The feedbacks were awesome! Grammatical errors. Sentence structures. Flow. Descriptions. Everything has been so useful in helping me understand how I can improve. Some of you really put in so much effort to break it down it's unbelievable. - @JovyLow6 Previous featured authors were lying when they said it was difficult to choose a winner--because it's not difficult, it's near to impossible!!! - @PipSqueeks88 Not only do these rounds help expose me to new authors but critiquing others' works makes me think of my own work in different ways and how to improve it.. - @consciousdreamer1 Not exaggerating, this has been some of the best advice I've ever received from readers - @Holly_Gonzalez

Do faeries truly exist? The World Faery Society (WFS) is determined to answer that question by investigating its biggest mystery yet: The Westbury Faery. Is she real? And if so, who is she and what is her story? But the WFS can't do it alone; the Society needs your help in writing her story. Explore the evidence, read theories and stories put forth by others, and write your own tale about The Westbury Faery's origins. The WFS will shortlist 100 of the most imaginative stories and theories about The Westbury Faery, and 20 winners will be published by Tiny Owl Workshop in a beautifully illustrated book in 2017. You can write flash fiction stories between 100 to 500 words or short stories between 1,500 to 3,000 words. Be sure your stories examine the question: Who is The Westbury Faery and what is her story? Contest entires closed on February 28th, 2017 but can be contributed ongoing at anytime! With your help, the WFS will be even closer to uncovering the mystery of The Westbury Faery.
