... 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.

Meh, I've been promising myself to start writing again, but I dunno. I just totally lack any hint of motivation at all.
I'm odd like that - I lack any sense of motivation, yet when I start, I can't stop. And that's with pretty much everything.
Hmm.

I can hardly remember that... that other Dan's insane though, in a scary way. You're insane in a nice, loveable way, so that's good.

Need to enter this competition. I've not really wrote anything disturbingly dark in a long while, I might even go for it. I've got a sweet story otherwise, but no idea. Oh, I can do both... well, righto.

Nooooo you muppet!
That way you'll NEVER improve.

Anyway, what's there to be embarrased about?
We don't really have standards as such, just enjoy something or not.
The chances are that if you're inexperienced then you won't stand a chance in hell of winning, but no one writes to win...



... not even to win the chance to CHOOSE THE NEXT TOPIC AND WINNER!!! :-O

Just have fun! ;-)
