The rules:

Enter as many times as you like, and it can be as long as you like, but if I'm not interested by the time I have to scroll down the screen, I won't read the rest.

I'll judge on the weekend of the 10th/11th, so entries in before then please.

And the topic is:

Blood in the snow

That doesn't mean it has to be about murder and mutilation, by the way. Or self-harming. I won't read any stories that go "I cut myself because I am sad, and I want attention," but if they're forced to harm themselves for other reasons, gnaw off an arm to free themselves from a wreckage, for instance, that's okay.

RESULTS

Fantastic entries, very high standard this time, many were a joy to read. Had trouble picking a winner from the last three, all of which were very strong. Special mention for Styke for mocking self-harming. 4 REAL.

Runners up:

tnc: - Noble trades are no more
FFF: - Escape

Winner:

unknown kernel: - At the Bottom of a Flask

Yes. But not about the murder and mutilation of your wrist, because life is so hard.

I have an idea for this . . . just if I can be bothered to do it.

EDIT - Have actually started it so will probably be up later this week.

Hmmmm, very intrigued by this one, will definitely write something, although first instincts revolve around some kind of murder mystery or something violent lol.

Right, that's it damnit, I've been away for far too long - I'm gonna fire up my creative drive and start doing these things again.

I know you all missed me.
