Haha, let's turn this thread away from me now, and back where it belongs, to the people doing the work.

March 2007 writing contest submissions

[eviljeff]

if it's anonymous, I think we should submit via gimmick account. it's easier for Katy and also then we could use the gimmick to answer any questions that arise in the commentary thread. otherwise I may end up bursting from not being able to comment on someone's interpretation of my story or just be like "actually I think the author meant this, lol."

[eviljeff]

also, I'm firing $25 into the pot. I strongly encourage everyone participating to do the same [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Well, I've finished my story, I believe. I guess the submission window opens at the end of the month?

Hi Lounge,

I hope you are all working on your short stories! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I will be posting the submission thread on Wednesday. It will run for 2 to 3 weeks (not sure yet). Anyway, I hope you at least have some idea for your stories as I'm really looking forward to reading them.

I like the idea of using gimmick accounts as opposed to everyone being anonymous. As eviljeff said, it is a way to answer questions in the commentary thread. What do the rest of you think about this idea?? In the last contest there was a gimmick account and he actually did quite well [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]



Here is a link to the Final Voting thread for the last short-story contest (such a close vote too!)

Don't forget you can submit more than one story, so if your creative juices are flowing, by all means feel free.

I have an idea. But true inspiration comes one drop at a time. I must let the seed grow, maintain, and pluck the ideas at just the right time.

Anyway that you would like to submit is fine by me Katy. The posters should be brutally honest if they have to review behind an alter personality.

Gimmicks are fine by me, if that is the decision. Some of the stories from the first contest were pretty interesting. I've had a lot more spare time in the last few days so I've got one story finished. I am working on a second and will try to complete it before life catches up.

eviljeff. Thankyou for the link. Do you know which story won last time?
