Short Story Competition 4

Ok, the topic is Secret Cheesecake. There's a secret second choice for the topic - check the rules.

It doesn't have to revolve around a cheesecake, it can be even so slightly brief. But it must involve a secret. Ordinary cheesecakes will not be accepted.

The Rules

* Make it as long as you want. Bare in mind if it's too long and too boring I won't read it. Just tell the tale, make it good.

* Put SSC4 in the title so I can find them.

* Don’t call your story ‘The Well’ - it's about a 'Secret Cheesecake'. So calling it.. you get the picture.

* I'd prefer you just did one entry, but you can do a few if you want.

* I'll be judging on the 29th of May as long as I remember to. You can post one that day and I'll judge it too if you like.

* Don't complain. This is my competition, and I'm taking it seriously. So neeerrr.

* BONUS GRIX RULE - If you find Secret Cheesecake too hard, then you can use extra super bonus topic number 2, which is - Secret Tunnel.

People using both topics will be commended, but it'll probably be crap to do. Those using neither will be laughed at. I suggest picking one, and I'd rather you used the cheesecake because I've always believed cheesecake has had an untapped potential.

Good luck. :) I'm looking foward to reading most of your stories. Anyone who gives the cheesecake legs, without good reason, I will mark down. Seriously. [EDIT: LIMBS. No limbs, whatsoever, on the cheesecake.]

I would give these things a go, but I can't really write fiction. Creative writting has never been my thing. I may give the next one a try so you can all laugh at me...

I won :) I forgot it was results day today. Thanks Grix. Why did the ending annoy you? (just out of interest).

Well I guess it's my turn now. I'll think of something and post it shortly. And Paradox, I'm watching you!

Cheers Grix, I'm happy with second, Black Glove's story was class, and a deserved winner.

FFFs was the best entry in the last contest anyway.

That perverted Black Glove just stole it from him.

STOLE.

Oops.

1) Black Glove
2) Meka
3) Ineedsleep

Ineedsleep's was third because it was original, read well and was nice and fun, Meka's I really can't put down at all, was a lovely story that couldn't have been told any better, but Black Glove was first because his imagination went that extra bit further, but the ending annoyed me! But it's first so it doesn't matter.

Fantastical Mentionings - FinalFantasyFanatic, Lil Bro

FFF's story was extremely charming and original, but was missing something vital towards the power of the story so it wasn't put higher, and while Lil Bro's wasn't the most original of stories, I just found it really sweet. Oh and Sheepy's was funny. :P

Wonderful, Glove, your turn.
