"Short Story Competition 14"

Some subjects are easier to write about than others. Some prefer the freedom of fantasy, and the lack of restrictions it imposes on one's imagination. Others prefer to draw on their own experiences, opting for straight up fiction and dramatics.

There are some topics however, that blur the lines between all subjects and genres. Indeed, the topic this time around is something we have all either experienced, fantasised over, or both. This should make interesting reading. The topic is:

"In the name of love"

Twist it, contrive it, ablate it, elate it. Do what you will, and I'll judge in three week's time (12th August), or whenever there are enough entries, whichever comes later.

EDIT - postponed until Sunday the 19th. This is a final deadline. There will be no further extensions.

EDIT - Winner is Grix with Amneshire

Hm, good one. I will try to enter.
If I can't think of anything I'll just copy and paste the U2 lyrics. :-/

Is this going to get stickied?

Done.

Arghhh can't write anything about romance in it.


I did have an idea but that was for a graphic novel that i was imagining up in my head.

Don't restrict yourself to romance. Love is whatever you want it to be.

Nice topic. Good choice, Everpain.

I unstickied the last comp so this should be the only one up here.

I'll see what I can write, now...

Mama mia. We got two entries from the Grix and one from FM already. Boomboom, heavyweights. Good to see. I might even enter myself. Just need to inform my cat of the theme and wait.

i might produce my glorious return for one of these some time, need to get the old juices flowing again.
that, or just enter with some old guff that vaguely fits the bill and hope to win a gad as well.

i suspect the latter.

are any of these new guys actually any good at writing?
before i take a trawl through previous stuff in the wee bored hours
