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).

You just want the honour of being the last notable and last SSC winner.

Bob, you're an awful awful writer. Maybe you're a good architect, or have the skills of a painter. Go find out.
No it's not I am going to read through mine more this time, and see what is wrong and make it right.
That's a terrible terrible idea :)
Do it now then.
I say bob should have the final win, just for the effort that he's put in over the last few months.

These forums might not be here tomorrow for me to judge it.
Will be adding my today straight after dinner.
If this place is closing down, this could well be the last SSC...
Todday at midnight it's judging time!? Cool. I'll have to see the results tommorow.
