Here's more on the event from this year's organizer

This is the third year for the "Oggbashan Memorial Event", and while it's named after a long time contributor who defied his doctor's expectations and lived far longer than they thought, it's to celebrate and recognise much more than sheer bloody mindedness in the face of adversity. RIP Ogg, you are missed.

looked after the first two events, and I'm proud to look after this. The links to the previous events touch on what defines a hero better than I can.
Some great stories were told about all sorts of heroes. and not just the traditional view. A hero is who you want it to be - from someone who unselfishly gives you the last piece of pie for your teary eyed kid, to a 19-year old storming a machine gun post with a belt full of grenades. Personally, I wrote a story about the local volunteer fire brigades, and how they, the few, drop everything to fight a raging monster that threatens their communities.
Have a think about people you've met, people you know, acts you've heard about. Is there a story there? Does it need to be told to a world wide audience? Stories and essays may be of any length, in any category, and may be erotic or non-erotic as you choose. The theme is heroism, past, present and future - descriptions of heroic acts, discussions and insights about the meaning and importance of heroism. Choose your subject as you will. Post any queries here, or PM me.
Remember, this is not a competition, but a celebration
