"SHORT STORY COMP 17"

Here is the new competition. Number 17. (We’re not all bored of this, are we?)

Anyway, the subject is Diamonds.

Anything to do with those sparkly things, which (apparently) are a girl’s best friend, very precious when cut right, and (according to Shirley Bassey) last forever.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be about ‘physical diamonds’ - abstract use of diamonds is acceptable, just as long as it features something diamond-like.

My rules are:
—One entry per person
—Closing date Jan 24th

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


Result

Some good entries, some okay, some not so good.

—FinalFantasyFanatic’s is the most amazing [and uses the theme the best]
—Surrealguy’s is the most evocative
—Meka Dragon’s is the quirkiest
—Clazon’s is the most storylike
—Rickoss’ is the most poetic
—arctic hobo’s is the darkest
—Paradox’s is the most solid and well-structured
—Wink’s is most ‘alrightish’
—crossbob’s is pure genius

—extra mention for FFF: epic piece and I hail you for it, but

the one I like the most — with its subtlety of style and its quaint snapshot resonance — is…

Rungs by Mav

You win.

::::—brief firework display—::::

Over to you.

Congrats to Mav :)

Wow, nice one. Well deserved!

Oh excellent! Cheers.

Now to think of a decent topic.

Winnar. Nice one Mav. :)

See original post for the winner.

FFF's entry was a bit like something from final fantasy, with other stuff mixed in, I thought. It's not the best on the forum, but maybe the best of the comp.

I'm weighing up the options.

*It's either that one or that one*

If I don't get aducted by cattle-mutilators, the result will be posted early evening.

His last story was something a bit special. Puts my feeble efforts to shame, no doubt about that :D

Seems quite rubbish now after reading FFF's anyway. Damn him. :D

If the topic doesn't fit this time I'll just post it anyway.

Try dropping some gentle hints with regards to the next theme :)
