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...

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

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

Yes. Good. Do it.

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

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.

Got me thinking... dangerous, that

Strike me down and I'll become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

Need to get drunk.

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.

Ah, great. :-)

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