"End of story"

I hadn't even heard of this until I watched a program on it about 5 minutes ago. Anyway, here...

Had any of you heard of this?
Are any of you considering giving it a bash?

I wonder how many entries they will get in "txt" talk.

*Plop*

So, how is it all going? Saggy? Anyone?

Just one!

I thought the same about the level of adultness.

I'm having a pop at Sue Townsend's, which talks about brain splater, so I think my little bit of adultity will be ok.

How many words did I make up in that? A fresh/ish kipper to the first person to answer correctly

I'm going to finish the story by Shaun Hutson. I've got a good idea (well it seems to be) and my only concern is what level of language/adult content can you include? It is a horror story and is intended for adults but would they refuse to read/take seriously a story with swearing and gore?

You have to admire the stark contrast between the male and female author's stories. The blokes: train journey to Hades by a hitman, a curse, pretending to have a female guest and a detective yarn. The birds: four tales about love and shoes.

Good grief.

Well it shows how good it must have been if I didn't see it.

I have to agree.

And I must say, your sarcasm was so cunning. I didn't even notice it, until you mentioned it.

I DIDNT post a topic about this a month ago.

Excuse my sarcasm.

It’s one of the stipulations in the rules that it has to be legible.

Yay! Someone else who supports my cause for hating people who insist on using "txt" talk.

I've read the blurb of all of the stories and read one all the way through. They're not really shouting out at me.

I have read Sue Townsend's all the way through and an idea had jumped out at me, but it's so obvious that I'm sure some other brain-dead moron will do it.

From reading the blurbs the most original one is about some bird who falls in love with a tree, but I'm not too sure where I could take that without making it sound forced and wooden...god, you know it is 4.50am when I'm making jokes like that.

I will probably read most of them and see if I can be bothered to knock something out. Plus, I like Alexei Sayle, so I will read his anyway.

I like the bit in the legal rambling about the BBC being able to use any work entered anywhere on the BBC throughout the universe.
