Battle Hardened
Kearston & Allister
On Writing Battle, stories live and die according to the decisions of anonymous judges. But vote count is not a measure of story quality. High scores feel great! Duel wins lead to Final Showdown appearances and Honorable mentions. If you participate and you have received either honor, that is something to be proud of. However, at Battle Hardened, we want to mine for hidden treasures. We explore stories whose value was not reflected by their vote tally.
