thoughts on a suggested, but not mandatory, entrance fee to sweeten the pot? obviously this could be kept anonymous.

I think the biggest problem would be the logistics of collecting a small amount of money from a bunch of people

eviljeff, are you ok with the time frame suggested?

As far as an entrance fee, I'd rather not do that to people. I really would like anyone to participate if they feel they have a good story.

If anyone is interested in tossing in some money to up the prize you can PM me. I believe the last time it was done it was transferred via Poker Stars accounts.

I would go for the non-mandatory pot sweetener, maybe $20?

yep, I'll probably have mine done before the submission window opens. if I win I'm taking the prize money, dropping out of law school, and starting a short story website.
