The "Creative Writing" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
I wont restrict the word count because, to be honest, we want to encourage all the entries we can get at the moment. Even if it's just a few paragraphs, it's welcome.
Likewise there's no limit on the number of entries per person either.
Topic is Island. We haven't had that before surprisingly enough. Use it as you see fit, all I'm after is a good read.
Have your entries in for Monday 28th May.
But most importantly: have fun. If you don't have fun, you'll be disqualified immediately.

Winner is Wish You Were Here by pb.
And without further ado, I shall create the next Short Story title.
The winner is Wish You Were Here by pb.
Well done.
That genuinely was a difficult decision - they were all good, not much to choose at all. In the end I went for pb's simply because I enjoyed it the most.
pb's was the most captivating.
Grix Thraves' was the most poetic.
Silent Thunder's had the strongest narrative (A Grave Secret).
BLJ's had some nice ideas.
I'll have to think it over a bit - winner will be up tonight.

Sadly, I'll sit this out. I've been preoccupied with something else and I don't think I'll be able to come up with something worthwhile.
By the way, I am/was Sibelius. I changed my name then changed it back.

If you've got something on the go, I don't mind pushing the deadline back a bit. I'm quite busy tomorrow so I don't think I'd be able to judge it then anyway.
I was also hoping to see something from Everpain, NickGreen, Revolver, Sibelius and tnc... so if any of those are wanting to enter, let me know.
I'd be quite happy to let this run an extra week if it meant two or three more entries.

I'm getting there! Haven't had a chance to read most of them yet.
