Thra-Athon Fan Fiction Contest
We would love for you to write an original Dark Crystal fan fiction or poem. What would a holiday celebration be like on Thra, in the life of a Gelfling, a Podling, or even the Mystics & Skeksis ? 3 winners will be featured in narrated videos and 1 lucky winner will have their entry illustrated by Eliane Torralba ( @feusus , the one who did that SkekOk above !)
You must be 16 or over to enter.
