Announcing the New Season: There Be Dragons
Announcing the New Season: There Be Dragons
8 weeks of story prompts, live events, and a short story contest that publishes and prints the winners!
Calling all legends, writers and aspiring authors everywhere! Get ready… we’re launching a new season from April 1 through May 31 in LegendFiction: 'There Be Dragons' 🐉✨
Eager to showcase your writing skills and connect with fellow authors? Climb your dragon! This new season brings a host of storyforging events designed to ignite your creativity and fuel your passion for storytelling.
Back in 2022, we hosted the first online con for Catholic and Orthodox authors. Our very first season is a throwback to that epic event!
Here's what you can expect:
Weekly Writing Quests
Short Story Contest with prizes
Author Meetups
Epic Collabs!
We have a growing list of Catholic and Orthodox writing communities who want to be a part of this season! As more join the dragonflight, we’ll add them here. Check them out, and join their groups!
Let’s get into it!
About: There be Dragons
Dragons are ancient and dramatic symbols for wisdom and chaos, the numinous, dangerous, and seraphic. Dragons are far more than the one symbol presented in Sacred Scripture. They are guardians of the Perilous Realm, and not all of them are on the same side, or guarding the same hoard. For humans, they stand for everything beautiful, dangerous, and undiscovered in creation.
Storytellers are ourselves dragons, or dragon riders. We challenge ourselves to climb the saddle of ourselves and work to master our own call to write. We challenge readers to dig deeper, to claw off our own scales, or to present ourselves before the paws of the great Lion.

Weekly Writing Quests
Say goodbye to solitude and hello to a supportive community of authors who love dragons, Jedi, and Hogwarts - just like you.
Each week, LegendFiction will post a new prompt in the community to get your creative juices flowing.
Continue the story either as flash fiction, stream of consciousness, or just brainstorm what might happen next.
Set a timer for 5 minutes and write until time runs out. No editing, just go with it.
Trim and post your response in the comments.
Check in with with other comments and share your own ideas and thoughts.
Let’s write together and have fun!
