1. New Year celebration on a world other than Earth
2.Winter-geddon/Snow-pocalypse. End of the world scenario based around winter calamities
3.Hunt for the Abominable Snowman.
You may choose one or more of the following themes and insert them into your story. With all the bad and frigid weather we've had, it's no wonder this
contest them fits perfectly with our RL frustrations.
