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.

I quite like the idea of a democratic system.
However personal friendships or conflicts could make the vote biased.
We'd also have to draw up an electorate - would only people who entered be able to vote or outsiders too?

What are trying to say about my tadpoles?
Scum.
Scum.
Isn't everything, my dear? Isn't everything?
Who knows, I might still win GAD with some story.
But that was irrelevant wasn't it?

I think a better way to decide the winner is if any of the entries win GAD. If so, they win. If not, the topic-setter chooses.

Hmm, the time would be an issue.
Obviously not with your recent form :P
I don't. It would take too long, and I doubt anyone cares that much about winning.
I agree with you on this one, I'm afraid.
