So good to be setting an SSC again.

The title of this one is...

Foreign

BUT... I want no Science Fiction tales, which should test you all a bit.

Expecting some good results. Winner will be based on any particular story that moves me, makes me laugh or engages me in any way.

No word limit or number of entries, so you're free to write that epic or 200 word mini-story.

and the date...

Sunday 11th March. (Week's extention)

That's 2 weeks, folks. If I feel it needs to finish earlier or later, I'll change it. But for now, go with that date.

Now get those thinking caps on...

And the winner is...

Black Glove.

But...it wasn't by much. All the stories were great, Nickgreen surprised me. It was just that the story, Running Underground, was the nearest to the subject. In the end that just clinched it.

Yeah.
Honestly pb, foreign is quite painful for me, at least, to try.

Shame. Either the title wasn't good enough or the people aren't around...

Oh dear, popularity really is on the wane.

I'll bust a gut to get something written by Sunday but I can't promise it'll be very long and/or inspired and/or good.

Could someone (pb) give me a small list of a couple of "veterans" who went to PM?
You will see in time......

If I can muster up the energy I'll write a fantasy story then.

Actually, we don't have that many fantasy tales, so feel free.
