Re: Announcing a Short-Story Contest
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. Conspire |

What type of subjects would you frown upon? [/ QUOTE ] 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. |

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, Can we have pictures? |

You can count me in this year. I think that there should be a minimum post count and a date of at least 3 months old. Oh, wait, that won't translate to vBulletins, will it? I agree that there should be one thread for submissions and one for discussion. Perhaps add one poll thread for the voting. [/ QUOTE ] Glad to hear that you will be a participant Dave. Awesome [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] According to Ryan, post counts and registration dates will not change when we go to vBulletin. Does everyone agree with DaveT that we should have a separate thread for discussion? Also, I'm not a fan of voting by poll. But we can certainly do a separate thread for the voting. |

[/ QUOTE ] since there is a monetary prize it's probably best not to do a poll thread for voting. a separate thread sounds like a good idea, but what would the requirements for voting be (regarding reg date, etc)? maybe the same as the submission requirements? |

Re: Announcing a Short-Story Contest
Let's add the stipulation that the story has to have the same title as a 2007 LDR thread.
I'm torn between: Do You Think Dogs Get Lonely; and, It's Not Too Late to Save Your PMS. |
