"Short Story Competition 22"

Argh! So hard to choose. But choose I must, and don't feel left out if you're not a winner, you're all winners anyway, there's more talent in this forum than can be found at a writers guild prize ceremony...

So, without further ado, I shall give you the top 3...

3. Lawrence - for someone who has only produced a few stories, I really enjoyed this one. Some may say it was cliched, but it was a good story, none-the-less.

2. Meka-Dragon - Perfect example of a romantic story.

1. Ashman - Just on time, but the story is superb. I guess it's something I can relate to as well, but it was told so well that I think anyone can feel the emotion there. Reminded me of the Wires (the Athlete song).



Well, doesn't time fly? SSC 22 already.

And now for something slightly different...

The idea remains the same, a topic name which you can write a story about, but this time I've introduced 3 skill levels, just for those who want to push themselves a little bit further.

No extra marks will be awarded for picking a harder level, it's just a bit of fun to see who takes up the challenge.

And so, on to the topic...

Heart and Soul (as inspired by 80's pop sensations T'Pau)

Skill Level 1
Write a story based on the topic. Just like normal really.


Skill Level 2
The story has to be a love story and contain no violence

Skill Level 3
As above, but set in a contemporary setting from the point of view of a woman (or, if you're female, from the point of view of a man).

The challenge is set. The closing date is midnight on 11th April. Yes, you heard right. You only have 1 week for this one, due to me being in India after that.

Go. Go. Go...

R-r-romance? Not my speciality of writing. But I'll give it a shot.

Level 3? Ea-sy*.

*I hope

Edit: Actually, as this is my first short story compo, I'll use an easier level...

*cowers in corner*

Gone all soppy?

Ah, too much violence is bad for you.

Besides, I have a daughter to think about.

One that I won't see for 5 weeks while I'm away...

...I'm just going to a dark room to cry now...

I'll just pop this as I've buried it under the SSC21 entries I've finally got round to reading.

The cheek of it!

Love stories?
What has marriage done to you my man..

I'll probably give it a go. But my story skills are rubbish are moment.

Don't write as often as I should. :(

Well done with trying it make it soppy.

Have you being taking oestrogen pills, pb?

You've gone all soppy.

Where are you going to in India? First of all, are you touring or on a biz trip or something.

Gosh, this would've been really interesting if I was in India; but I have now come here in the UK for studying. *Sigh*

Sorry Crossbob.

*Sigh* My speciality is getting inspired by a topic then writing something nothing to do with it. I think I'd have gone for level 2 anyway and I can't be bothered to go for 3. Level three I think will be interesting and insightful, albeit extremely painful.
I shall probably enter.
