Because writing Sci-Fi is fun, and just 'cos y'all have been eliminated from the contest doesn't mean that you should miss out on all those shenanigans...

OK, so, the above sentence has been posted since the idea for a third pot came to me. But riddle me this, 'troopers... Why the frak should pot three be open exclusively to the eliminated elite?

Exactly, it shouldn't and, indeed, it ain't! In fact, let's open this bad boy up to everyone, whether they're competing (or y'know, have competed) in this contest or not!

So if you guys know of anyone who enjoys getting their SF on - and to be fair, if you know someone who doesn't like getting their SF on you really ought to disown them, or something - then direct them here for a 'lil fun and games!

Sub-Genre: SteamPunk

So Pot 3 works exactly like the other pots. The only real difference is that anything submitted here won't be judged. That's right, it's just for fun and as it's just for fun, I figured SteamPunk was the ideal choice 'cos, y'know... SteamPunk!

Below you'll see a handful of pictures and YouTube videos, all related to the fantabulousness that is SteamPunk. Take any that you like and use them as prompts for a short story. There's no word limit, no deadline, no nothing, 'cept the fun!
