The Challenge was active from 2003 to [https://forums.starbase118.net/index.php?/topic/11188-ending-the-writing-challenges/ 2014]. Challenges included special events, tie-ins with Writing Improvement Month, prizes, and short story collections of all the entries in mobile formats to allow reading on the go. | |||
