Ugh, I wanted to enter this and thought about it ages ago, but have been too swamped with other stuff, and I’m unlikely to turn this around in a week.
Sorry, I needed to express that, even though I know for people running a comp it’s usually annoying to see people posting in a deadline topic saying ‘Whoops, I forgot/goofed!’
Don’t worry: I’ve done the sane with the IF comp every year for the last five [emote];)[/emote]

Can I have some clarification on this rule:
Please, no legally contentious material: nothing explicit, slanderous, or gratuitous; remember Future Voices may well be read by children.
Does this preclude stories with mature themes even when the language isn’t explicit or gratuitous? I had an idea for a story about bio-hacking, but that could involve scenes of self-surgery, which is not to be encouraged in children.

I think it’s probably a question of how you frame it: explicit body horror probably won’t fly.
