"Short Story Competition 17"

Right, hopefully there's not too much limit on what you can write with this topic and you can do with it as you want.

The usual rules apply.

The topic: A/The System

I won't set a deadline for now, but will wait for a good amount of entries.

Thanks a lot.

Results:

A very tough one this: all the stories took a different meaning to the word system and I enjoyed each one as they were so unique. But yes, as pretty much every past judge has said, there can only be one winner.

And that person for me is Black Glove. The flow of the story grabbed my attention throughout and left me wanting more, but at the same time allowed me to appreciate the end of the story just how it is.

Well done everyone, sorry the competition was so prolonged!

Ok, I'll say next Saturday will be the day I judge them then.

I won't be able to get my story finished this week because of college work. Sorry. :(

I have started on it though.

Thanks for all the entries so far, I'll wait for Marink (and anyone else?) and then judge away.

I'm putting mine up now, unedited, as it's the last opportunity I'll get this week.

Really struggling to write at the moment. I'll put something up, but it might be nonsensical and have little to do with the topic. (No change there then :))

Doesn't have to be big or complex, anything you want! :)

Quite a difficult theme because it suggests something big and complex.

I don't think you will be expecting my use of "A System". Then again, it may well be something you had in mind already. Now if only I can finish this one... XD

No worries, I shall wait a bit longer.

Haven't forgotten about this, but December passed in a flash
