It's come Full Circle.
All those moons ago I started a fun little topic called the Short Story Competition, and now I have the pleasure in giving you the task for SSC15.
And in celebration of this fact, the only obvious choice is to name it:
Full Circle
...there, that gives you plenty of scope. The stories need to be in by 17th December, a mere 12 days time, so there's not long to get writing. 'Why so quick?', you may ask. Well, I'm off for Christmas shortly after so I might not get time to judge. Still, if not enough people have entered by then, I'll extend it to January.
Go forth and write, people...

Ah, great. :-)
Too bad it has nothing to do with the story I started writing a few hours ago. :-\

I love you, pb.
And that date will be fine, people were wanting the last date to hurry up so I can only assume the same will happen this time.

Got me thinking... dangerous, that
Strike me down and I'll become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
Need to get drunk.

I'm currently listening to The Bled.
Anything I churn out will be an Emo-tinged morphodite of self-pity and "the world is all so samey and hopless"-ness.
I'm really going to try and make this one uncrap, since a lot of my recent stories, if you can call them that, have been echoing misery and museful pondering over oblivionism.
I'm going to have like characters and a plot and stuff.

Yes. Good. Do it.
I still stand by the fact that it's easier to do dark than happy or funny though...

I had an idea for a story, but methinks I may actually go for a happy story instead.
When this turns out utter crap, you're to blame, pb. :-P

Meh.
See, now everyone's gonna write plot and stuff. And probably so they'll win, not because they want to.
tututtutt

I've actually been trying to for ages, I'm just a bit rubbish. Always turns into some vague crapness or other. I'll never be able to write proper, proper stories, but I suppose I should really include a storyline of some sort instead of random thoughts.
:D
:D
I'd rather have something from you or Ash - not the random splurges, but the more structured yet still sublime pieces over your traditional short story.
Yeah, I liked pb and Meka's stories - because they were well written and entertaining, somewhat of a rareity, and harked back to older forum times. But I'd just get bored reading the character-driven intro-event-decision-resolution from everyone in every comp.
