Auraxis Literary Awards voting now open – Read and rate the best player-written lore


Salutation Auraxians,

Over the last six weeks, members of the Planetside 2 community have toiled to write fine new works of lore and backstory for the Auraxis Literary Awards. They have produced some epic works, and now we need your help to decide which entries should be featured on the official Planetside 2 site, and be given to chance to become official PS 2 canon!

We have received over 40 entries and I’m sure you’ll agree that there are some great stories. So please, head to the competition website, read a few of them and be sure to leave each one an honest rating based on style, content and how it fits into the existing lore. Full voting guidelines can be seen here.

You can view all of the entries below, on the competition homepage, or on the leaderboard (which will be updated as often as we can manage!), or from the links below. There are four entry categories – New Conglomerate, Terran Republic, Vanu Sovereignty and Neutral, and only the top rated story in each category will win and SC prize and posting on the official website.

Finally, by giving helpful comments to the author during your voting, you will be in for a chance to win a 2000 SC prize yourself! At the end of the competition, the authors will choose the most useful comments they have received (the identity of the winning voter only known to the competition organisers).

Enjoy reading, and please remember to give our authors the feedback and appreciation they deserve for their hard work.

The Auraxis Literary Award team

Just letting you all know that voting no longer requires a PS 2 forum name, you can now use an in-game character name to vote instead if you wish.

The voting period has been extended to midnight June 5th (PST, hope that gives you enough time Chip ). The leading entries are very, very close - please go check them out at http://lorecompetition.talesfromauraxis.com/leaderboard (and don't forget to leave a rating for at least one!).
