Link post We just launched a creative writing contest on the Effective Altruism Forum. Stories like HPMOR and The Fable of the Dragon-Tyrant have been massively impactful, and we’d like to see more work in that vein — please consider submitting something! Note that you can also submit past work that seems like a good fit. The criteria are:
-
Someone can reasonably finish the work in one sitting
-
The work might inspire someone to become interested in EA, or in some part of EA. You don’t have to shill for anything too specific — we’d be really happy to see work that just reflects rational/EA modes of thinking, applied in altruistic ways, without being directly about animal suffering or AI or whatnot. I’m running the contest. Please let me know, here or on the Forum, if you have any questions!
