"Short Story Competition 30"

If you're confused - FFF set SSC29 but then forget to judge it, so I asked Ant to judge it and make sure that I won, and he fufilled both duties with aplomb. So a big hand all round to Ant. That's right.

OK, rules, but I'm sure you all already know them:

-One entry per person

-As long as you like, I'm not fussed. Bend that 'short' definition all y'like.

-The closing date shall be 26nd August. At midnight. Although, again, I don't really care if it's posted at 12:34 or something. I'll still consider it if it's posted before I wake up the next day. Deal? Good stuff.

-The topic shall be Marine, and all things related. Y'know, like the ocean, shells, anchors, Popeye, stuff like that.

Go to it, people.

Edit: Closing date extended to 26th from 22nd

Huzzah, it's the 26nd!.First one of these I've judged, so I hope I don't muck up too badly. Started off slowly, but then we got the big-hitters bringing their stuff into play, which was good. There was a group of 5 I was considering for the top 3, which kept on switching as I watched the stories from afar. But I must decide, and I have. Think I've made the right decision, though. Here we go:

3rd: Rickoss - Another Tide Drowns Us

Really atmospheric, drew me into the story and left me feeling regretful for the character. I love any story that is involving like that.

2nd: Ant - Dolphinia

Made me feel nostalgic for books I haven't read in years. I thought it was really high-quality writing to create a story like that.

1st: Meka Dragon - Keep Taking Those Pills

A great idea, brilliant imagination, great little cast of pseudo-pirate villains and heart-warming at the end. Really enjoyed it, and I've been coming back quite a few times to read it again. So yeah, one of the best stories I've ever read in here.


So, er, there we go. Congratulations to Meka are in order, I believe.

I'll try and give it a go sometime this weekend or next.

In my story that would be dirty uncle/niece sex.

Could be better.

KT and Hitler?

Can't go wrong with a good Heidi Klum/Hitler love story, if you ask me.

My story is already fantastic. I've already managed to put Kilgore Trout, smv, Angelina Jolie, Heidi Klum, Hitler, and Jennifer Aniston into it.

I'm hoping for at least one pirate story, personally.

Marine? thats a nice one. Action atories all the way. Perhaps i'll right one, but then i'm always saying that. Plus i don't have many ideas for the standard battle scene.

> Can i illustrate it to?

Actually...
Could i do a comic strip? Its creative..and they'll be writing..And it'll have a story..

Yeah, probably. Sensible, deep, and dark stories aren't my thing. I leave that to the rest of you.

Another adventure, smv style? I look forward to it.
