What is this?
This is the DFTBA (Don’t Forget To Be Awesome) short story contest. It’s being run out of the Nerdfighter community, a group that started with Hank and John Green of the Vlogbrothers and now is made up of over 200,000 people worldwide.
What’s it about?
The stories all have to be on the subject of “An Act of Charity”
What’s it for?
It’s for charity. We’re donating money to the “Foundation to Decrease Worldsuck” a fund that is set up every year around the time of the “Project for Awesome”. In this project, Nerdfighters come together to make YouTube videos about charities and charitable projects . These videos all have the same thumbnail, and swamp YouTube’s most commented/liked listings. The community then votes on the best videos, and the top five charities in those videos get equal portions of the total money donated to the “Foundation to Decrease Worldsuck”.
How does it work?
You buy a ticket from Eventbrite.com for $6.12 (using paypal), send it and your story (of between 1000-3500 words) to
