The rules:

Enter as many times as you like, and it can be as long as you like, but if I'm not interested by the time I have to scroll down the screen, I won't read the rest.

I'll judge on the weekend of the 10th/11th, so entries in before then please.

And the topic is:

Blood in the snow

That doesn't mean it has to be about murder and mutilation, by the way. Or self-harming. I won't read any stories that go "I cut myself because I am sad, and I want attention," but if they're forced to harm themselves for other reasons, gnaw off an arm to free themselves from a wreckage, for instance, that's okay.

RESULTS

Fantastic entries, very high standard this time, many were a joy to read. Had trouble picking a winner from the last three, all of which were very strong. Special mention for Styke for mocking self-harming. 4 REAL.

Runners up:

tnc: - Noble trades are no more
FFF: - Escape

Winner:

unknown kernel: - At the Bottom of a Flask

OK. How come Meka Dragon hasn't judged the Short Story Competition yet.

That's what I mean.

I don't mind you submitting stories, but you've had too many under the name of 'SSC31', it's not really fair on Meka if he has to judge all the entries by you and then decide which to comment on.

So, stick to stories outside of the competitions. We'll let you off with up to 2 entries per competition though.

NO

You've had far too many entries and there really is no point adding anymore, just wait until the next competition.

I think this SSC has proven extremely popular and will be a tough decision.
