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)

Yeah, being written at the moment, Grandprix.

The first rule of story telling... you do NOT write about fight scenes.

The second rule of story telling... yes, you guessed it. It's quite important.

The way I'm starting them off, you should be able to set the scene wherever you like. The starting points aren't supposed to be a hinderence, just make it more interesting, to see what you make of it.

Which is why I'm trying to get more writers interested... in writing. :0)

Also trying to stop the plots from getting scarily complex.

Though you already did one? New story starting here methinks was the one. Where you all went to the beach, that was probably the funniest story I've read :-D
