Short Story Competition 17 There are 26 replies
Original Message posted by Silent Thunder on 28/11/2007 at 3:04:15PM
Right, hopefully there's not too much limit on what you can write with this topic and you can do with it as you want.

The usual rules apply.

The topic: A/The System

I won't set a deadline for now, but will wait for a good amount of entries.

Thanks a lot.

Results:

A very tough one this: all the stories took a different meaning to the word system and I enjoyed each one as they were so unique. But yes, as pretty much every past judge has said, there can only be one winner.

And that person for me is Black Glove. The flow of the story grabbed my attention throughout and left me wanting more, but at the same time allowed me to appreciate the end of the story just how it is.

Well done everyone, sorry the competition was so prolonged!

Well done Black Glove. 

Hury up and think of something, I fancy entering a SSC for a change. Was going to do the last one, but read about it as the deadline was announced for the following morning!

But well done and enjoy your GAD!

I won! Thanks ST.
And I won GAD too. Maybe I should post here more often :)

I'll set the next SSC as soon as I think of something ...

Well done, Black Glove.

I think it was a good topic, as it could be taken in so many ways, so there was a lot of variety with the stories.

I had to rush through mine a bit, because of the deadline, but it's there at last.

EDIT- I have just editted my story a bit, as there were bits that didn't make any sense at all.

I won't be able to get my story finished this week because of college work. Sorry. :(

I have started on it though.

Thanks for all the entries so far, I'll wait for Marink (and anyone else?) and then judge away.

I'm putting mine up now, unedited, as it's the last opportunity I'll get this week.

Really struggling to write at the moment. I'll put something up, but it might be nonsensical and have little to do with the topic. (No change there then :))

Doesn't have to be big or complex, anything you want! :)

Quite a difficult theme because it suggests something big and complex.

I don't think you will be expecting my use of "A System". Then again, it may well be something you had in mind already. Now if only I can finish this one... XD

Well, it's done.  Not the best effort, but I wanted something festive.

And I thought it was a use of The System topic you might not have expected!

Hehe, yups, I'm hoping that it's just because of the time of the year that there's little response, it could just be that I'm a rubbish host though! I'll try and get something written too soon. :)

Guess your still waiting for entries then ST!

I'll try to do something over the holidays.  May be alcoholic fuelled...

Something along those lines?

I shall be thinking about this.

I've just written a daft story which could be made to fit, but I don't think it's really right for it.
