"Short Story Competition 35"

It's short story competition number thirty-five!

I'll come straight to the point. The theme is

The Woods

Closing Date - November 15th

Result

Thanks to all who entered, this, maybe the final SSC on these forums. Who knows?

As always it was difficult to pick a winner.


The Runner's-up

FFF - Troupe. I like everything you write (even if you don't like it yourself). This was the usual enchanting and mazy creation.

Stryke - Acres of Shadowland. Once again an intriguing read, written in that likeable style of yours.

Meka Dragon - In The Woods Lies A Cabin. You're like an Amazon forest of variety and creation. Last time a musical, this time a creepy ghost story. I always see your stories being turned into pieces of cinematic drama. To my mind you are a very commercial writer - and I say that in the best possible way.

Prophet - Across The Mountain Forest. This felt like I'd opened a novel by an established author and read a couple of pages. It is so well-written and polished. Very nearly won.


The Winner

Ineedsleep - Just Passing Through. This reminded me of what the SSC is all about. Short and sweet, concisely expressed and mapped out, simple and effective. Just liked it the most.


So is this the last one, or are we just gonna carry on? I feel like I should make a speech or something... (better not).

Done mine.

Like the sound of the batman one... :D

Please do, I can't be bothered to expand it. I'm thinking of writing a Jonathon Creek mystery myself.

I'm actually going to use that idea.

Batman and Robin take the corpse of JC to the BatWoods and try to revive him using lightning and some lemons. Holy zest of life, Batfink!

I'll try and enter.

Can anybody think of a Bible story involving woods?

Do you mean me when you say Cool!?

I'll read your story anyway!

Crossbob stories are ok!

Ah, good one.

I began writing something yesterday, which I was hoping could tie in, but never mind.

Downside? I fear Crossbob may come up with several stories for this one. Never a good thing...

Cool!I'll write mine when school starts again.
