I'm thinking of starting a new website featuring short stories and other such creative things.
Would anyone like to contribute to this for a small fee, if there was the chance of winning prizes?
Many writing competitions charge a few pounds to raise the prize money, so it would be something like a maximum of 100 entries, £3 each, 1st prize of £100, runners up prizes of £50, 2*£25, 5*£10. Or something.
Numerous contests every month, perhaps with different themes, and word limits. For instance, a very short story contest, entry just £1, but smaller prize. Writing to a specific theme too.
It wouldn't just be stories though, the kinds of things that many of us frequently write on this site, comical guides, fake news, serious topics.
So, who is interested, and who would honestly part with a little cash for the chance to win more?
Entries on paper would mean you'd be typing the entry up for the site... I assume all entries will be available for others to read?
or look at my website (plug: http://www.geocities.com/gazrip/ib/)

Prizes will be cash. Everyone likes cash.
I'd limit the number of entries to the site so there wasn't too much to judge.
You'd have to register on the site, then send the entry fee with your entry.
Paypal I could set up on a site, or send a cheque. Heck, you could even celotape a few pound coins to a piece of card and send it.
I'd find ways around these things, just wondering if the interest is out there.
Perhaps I'll make up a dummy site, and try running a comp, to see if it takes off?
Oh, and how would people pay...? I'd say PayPal would be a good option, but some people on this site won't be able to use that...
