"Short Story Competition Eleven (SSC11)"

Hooray - it's SSC11, woo, etc... but seriously, rules and stuff:

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.

Cue half a dozen cheap Lost clones as helicopters crash on some random puff of sand and the survivors are tormented by them as they attempt to unravel the mysteries of the strange powers randomly bestowed upon them.

Then the doc will give into his carnal cravings and hump Kate's leg with a crazed look on his face not dissimilar to that one might expect on someone taking a table tennis paddle to their own haemorrhoids, while jumping up and down on broken glass.

Y'know, I think you might have something there Everpain.

But yeah, I did realise that the first thing that's going to spring to mind is Lost and I almost went with something else because of it.

Really though, if you can look past that then there's a lot of scope. Hell, it doesn't have to be set on an island at all, and I'm not going to mark anyone down if I can't see how they've used the theme.

Use it as a setting, use it as an inspiration, use it however you choose - I don't mind. Anything that's good will do.

First thing that came to mind for me was pirates haha

Stickied.

Right, I'll get started thinking about this one...

I entered! Hurray

Now if nobody else enters I might win

Think I might have a go at this one. IT's a very broad subject area, which I like :)

Yes, go go go. I remember you writing a story once about a lad wanting a kipper for his dinner which was pretty good.

Cheers Grix, good to see you back, I'll try and get to that one soon.

Found some time to get an entry up, hope you enjoy, all feedback appeciated. :-)

Ah, finally finished mine.

Not sure where the idea came from, it just slowly made itself clear.
