Welcome

Welcome to the 4th edition of the Become Hooked Contest!

I'm happy to be back after a hiatus, and even more excited to open the doors once again to a community that continues to surprise and inspire. This contest has always been about more than just stories—it’s about the voices behind them, the risks taken on the page, and the shared passion for storytelling that brings us all together.

I'm especially looking forward to reading submissions from familiar names—'old' fellow writers whose journeys I’ve followed and admired—as well as discovering the perspectives of new writers joining this contest for the first time. Whether you’re returning or just beginning, this space is yours to explore, create, and captivate.


Willkommen zur vierten Ausgabe des „Become Hooked“-Wettbewerbs!

Nach einer längeren Pause bin ich zurück und freue mich umso mehr darauf, die Türen erneut für eine Community zu öffnen, die mich immer wieder überrascht und inspiriert. Dieser Wettbewerb stand schon immer für mehr als nur Geschichten: Es geht um die Stimmen dahinter, den Mut, auf dem Papier neue Wege zu gehen, und die gemeinsame Begeisterung fürs Erzählen, die uns alle verbindet.

Ganz besonders gespannt bin ich auf Beiträge von vertrauten Namen – „alten“ Weggefährt:innen, deren Entwicklung ich mitverfolgt und geschätzt habe – ebenso wie auf die frischen Perspektiven neuer Autor:innen, die zum ersten Mal dabei sind. Ob du zurückkehrst oder gerade erst startest: Hier ist dein Raum, um dich auszuprobieren, kreativ zu werden und dein Publikum zu fesseln.

Don't feel it appropriate to submit - 'professional' and all (if you squint) but if you need judges...

Theresa: I like the story very much but she needs to be consistent with names is Axel's wolf's name Mace or Halo? Is his gamma to be Don or Dan? But to be fare, she's not the only one to do it. I get confused when authors changes theirr character:s name in the middle of the story.
