It's that time again! Read on to discover what amazing events we have for the third epic instalment of SV's very own Winterfest.

Whether it's the User Choice Awards, winning a prize for your hot takes, starting that project you've been putting off, or blackout poetry, we've got it all this year. Get involved!

So, 2023 is reaching the end of its time on the stage, and as the year draws to a close, it's time to look back. It's certainly been a busy year, from momentous world affairs, dramatic developments in technology, and of course most important of all, the Barbie movie. Sufficient Velocity however has for the most continued along, producing amazing online fiction of all stripes, and discussions that are at turns fascinating and bewildering.

This is the time of the year when we look back and celebrate the year that has passed, and give thanks for all the wonderful stories it has contained, and most of all, for each other. It gives me pleasure to announce the start of Sufficient Velocity's 2023 Winterfest!

This year, we have a trio of amazing events to go alongside the User's Choice Awards.

The 2023 Blackout Poetry Party

Sometimes called erasure poetry, blackout poetry is the art of taking an existing text and removing chunks to find the poetry hiding within. It's fun, very easy to get started, and can be surprisingly moving. Click here to find out more about the 2023 Blackout Poetry Party and how you can participate.

The 2022 Merry Media Criticism Essay Contest

If there's one thing SV has no shortage of, it's hot takes about writing and media. But who has the hottest takes, worthy of receiving a fifty dollar prize? Click here to find out more about the 2022 Merry Media Criticism Essay Contested and how you can participate.

Huh, the switchover overrode my logo preference.

All the events look pretty neat too!
