For those who haven’t seen yet, here’s a final reminder for the Transparent Narrative writing contest . The deadline is tomorrow (Sept 10) at 5PM EST.

We’ve gotten dozens of entries, but are still looking for more gamble, more gut-level reaction / perception of place and experience. As in the title of the contest, we like transparency.
