Hello there.
Me and my chum Venombyte were just chatting about the closure of the last story. We've come to the conclusion that we need more writers... and since there are a lot more people on here than there were half a year ago, I think it's time to try and encourage more people to write.
So, we've come up with the idea of a short story competition... it's a nice little idea, that should get more people writing, so we have a good idea of their talents.
This also applies to the CURRENT writers. I.E. Me, Pb, Meka, Ant... so on. You can write a story too.
If you're interested in this, please state so below/above, so I've got a good idea of figures. Then... I'll think of what you can write about. :0)

fine thanks YH, yourself?
Afternoon RBS, hows things?
I'll do one!
Afternoon Yh.
I would like to say that i have read all the stories so far and they are all really good.
Well done to everyone who has put their story up.
To people that haven't, go for it. Write what you think and post it. Don't worry if you think that it's not as good as the others. I'm sure people on here can give you advice if you want it.
Don't worry, just ask.

That was Grix laying the rules down a few pages back. I've dug them back up for you.
