figment - Write Yourself In
 Figment is a free online community for teens and young adults to create, discover, and share new reading and writing. Users can read amateur and professional content, engage with their favorite authors, discuss literature with their peers, and create their own unfiltered writing to share across web and mobile platforms. Figment regularly offers writing contests with prizes ranging from gift certificates to hundreds of dollars; typically participants write a story based on a posted prompt, with 10-15 finalists seeing their stories posted on the Figment page before a prize winner is chosen.
