"Pigs and Prejudice", by Nina Miller!
The readers have spoken, and their favorite story of the month, our Reader's Pick, goes to "Pigs and Prejudice". A huge congratulations to the talented author, Nina Miller, for this marvelously original… uh, let’s call it a tribute… to Jane Austen. Along with bragging rights and a cool badge for her story (visible above), she’ll also be receiving a $100 cash prize!
We'd like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all our subscribers who participated in the voting process. Without you, we could write all day and end up with nothing, no matter how many words we produce. Remember, we'll be having another of these contests every month, so please take a moment to swing by the Member's Area and cast up to five votes for my sto— I mean, for each of your favorite stories! (That's a privilege reserved for subscribers only. After all, it's our subscribers who pay for the prize, so it seems only fair. And yes, writers, you can vote for yourself — if and only if you subscribe. $5 a month: Cheap at twice the price!)
Stay tuned for more exciting contests, new prompts, and, of course, the exceptional stories that make our magazine a veritable treasure trove of inspiration. For more information on our Reader's Pick contest, visit our website. Or, if you prefer, stop by our Discord channel and ask someone.
