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.

The winners have been decided - see the original post.

You haven't commented on mine!

I think I've read and commented on every story that's been entered now.

The judging begins.

The competition is running until midnight tonight so if you plan on entering then hurry yourself up.

Glad to see pb and meka making a stylishly late entry.

Hehe.

You need to write a story first to be voted for! ;-P

You've got till tommorrow night.



As to me, I can't get a story going around a well so I'll wait until the next one. :-)

Thanks Strafio.
;)

The whole point is that it's meant to be the topic choosers favourite story, rather than the critically acclaimed best.

But a "What did you think was best?" poll, for interests sake would be good. I know who I'd vote for. :-)

I'm still trying to get time to write. argh!
