Announcing a Short-Story Contest

[DerrtySlime]

this is ill yo. i remember last years contest was amazingly good. restrictions to maybe like 50 posts and above is good enough i think. i think 7500 words is way too much. 500-3000 is better imo.

Thanks for your feedback Slime. I actually meant to type 500-7000 words. Any better? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I think there should be a separate thread for discussion so as not to clutter the main voting thread.

Considering I have not written a short story since high school I think of myself as an underdog. Im aiming to tap an angle no one else would go for and at the same time making it family/work suitable.

Actually I probably wont even start generating ideas until the 2nd week into the competition, cuz thats how I roll.

Hmm, good question. I hadn't given it much thought to be honest. Since you bring it up, I'm sure I would frown on any stories that celebrate racial hatred and pedophilia. Also, a really graphic porn story is going to be frowned on unless it's so creatively written that I don't even notice it is a porn story.

Ya, none of that is my style. Like everyone else im goin for an entertaining story. That was too vague of a question, besides most people in the lounge know whats right or wrong and seem to make good judgments. I think im included with that?

Anywayz,
