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).

I forgive you.
I know the feeling. Maybe SSC has been running too long. Maybe it needs a shakeup. A new format or something. Anyone got any ideas?

I'm getting my second one writen now.
Don't you have work or anything like that?
That crazy mid-week is when I have the necessary time to read all your Nobel-Prize-for-Literature stories.
Crazy mid-week closing date.
I haven't read any yet, but keep 'em coming. I'll judge on Tuesday, with the result on Wednesday.
