... about time ...

Anywho, with much apologies, the next topic title shall be:

Dust and Flame

Okay? Not too restictive, I hope.
I feel like a really crap teacher up here - but you must obey!

yeah

---------------

Rules:

1) Put SSC6 in front of your entry, followed by the punctuation of your choice (a dash? or will it be .... a colon? the semi? who knows ... ) then your title. Call it what you will.

2) No word limit. Chances are that if I don't finish reading something, it wouldn't win anyway. Ahar

3) The closing date is Friday the 2nd of July - that's almost almost 3 weeks.

[and max. 2 entries per person]

Gogogogogogogogogogogogogo.

WINNURZ!

3rd Place

Wonderfully innocent but haunting piece, simple style hiding something more complex. A great read.

2nd Place

Rickoss [URL]http://ukchatforums.reserve.co.uk/display_messages.php?threadid=104459&forumid=423¤tsort=desc[/URL]

Fantastic atmosphere and descriptions, stuck in the mind, tugged at the soul.

1st Place

Cyclone [URL]http://ukchatforums.reserve.co.uk/display_messages.php?threadid=103955&forumid=423[/URL]

Bloody fantastic descriptions (some of the best) at start and end. Slightly lagging in the middle, but a well-deserved win for an epic story.

Special Mentions:

Every single other person who entered..
I was very impressed at the quality of entires (*snigger*) - there's not a single story I wouldn't read again. Tough judging.

sounds like an action packed scene with little plot involved story.

A person doing DIY and mysteriously catches fire (fire from the heavens, dust from hell?)

X files knock off?

Car racing dust from the wheels flame from large nitro exhausts?

Seems like a lot of things to go on. Much as i would like to write one, my exams seems to hinder this. Maybe number 7. But i do have nearly chapter 3 of my story finished.

I have an idea. It isn't great but its something, yet unfortunately similar to most of my other stuff. Meh, I'm a one trick pony.

Looks to be a good turnout this time.

I think I'm going to enter this... I haven't written anything for a while.

And for the record, I don't suppose anyone remembers my writing style/anything I've written?
