Short Story Competition 3
I’m not wasting any time in setting the next title for the short story comp. The subject is:
‘The Well’
It’s quite an open one so it shouldn’t be restrictive at all. Hopefully it can have a range of different genres applied to it.
The Rules
* Please try to keep your stories under 1500 words, it’s a short story competition, not a novel writing epic.
* Put SSC3 before your story name in the topic title so I know which stories are entries (e.g. ‘SSC3 – The Well’)
* Don’t call your story ‘The Well’
* Only one entry per user please
* Have your entry posted before midnight on Friday 7th May
Good luck to everyone who decides to enter, I look forward to reading your stories
Update:
The Winners
After a lot of careful reading and countless minutes of careful pondering I have come up with the list of winners for the contest. In reverse order:
3 - Ineedsleep - Dead Diary
Excellent use of 'the well' and a very imaginative and involving tale.
2 - Black Glove - Zora's Wish
An undeniably fantastic tale with brilliant use of language and overall a perfectly rounded short story.
The Winner - Grix Thraves - The Water Hole
A brilliant comical and well written tale with a such a sharp sting in the tail that even Steve Irwin couldn't handle it.
This means that the next contest, SSC4, will be set and judged by Grix Thraves - I trust he will set us something fantastically bizarre to write about
Well done to everyone who entered, the vast majority of the stories were very good and it honestly was very difficult to choose a winner.

Wouldn't it be funny if I won GAD for this entry as well?
I would laugh, much like this:
Ahahar-har-har-haaaaaaa.

Well done Sleepy, Black Glove and Grix. I enjoyed all the stories in this one and enjoyed writing one.
Well done Grix, and Black Glove, I'm sure your time will come soon enough...

I wasn't complaining, even though it may have sounded like I was, but you're right, second is best. Less hassle. These little competitions are fun - entering, reading other's entries - they're keeping me on here at the moment.

I didn't win? How? I wasn't even in the top three?

I know you have an ambigouous nature and arent likely to to set something boring as a title. At least you better not!
Remember for the next contest to paste the rules from this one, change 'em a bit if you feel the need to but stick to the basic guidelines and give 2-3 weeks to enter.

It would be impossible to tell.
*claps with excitement*
When will SSC4 be up and ready to enter?
