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)

Do we mind if some of the notables die as it is a crucial element of my story. Whoops.. gave it away ;-) no but seriously.. or will notables be offended if they die. It's nothing personal.. I just need it to make my story cool.

Mines going to end up being quite long... and I managed to get the correct sentence into it. It's a mystery/suspense story - very atmospheric now I just need an ending.. I am walking the journey but am not sure how it ends the image is rather vague..

But if it's in a different forum, atleast you won't have to listen to it.

It can be called the "Creative Forum" and it could also be used for games ideas.

I've just realised...

The whole point of this was to encourage Newbies to write.

But, by making it so the entries should be posted in the Prime forum, the Newbies have been excluded again :-D

A forum for Songs, Poems and Stories should be made.

I found a great way to stop all this "why aren't I in the story" lark. Just include two characers.

Infact, my story's floated pretty well. Better than my previous efforts. Major success. No GAD, though, unlike Ant. I'm a GAD virgin.

Still, I don't care about the games, just the feeling of failure.

Well, my story's getting on just fine...NO WHERE!

First of all, I had a good idea that included the usual charachters: Ant, Sniper, Grix etc... But then I had an even better idea after that!

Then I realised that this idea was a load 'o' rubbish, so i scrapped it. Whilst trying to think of another story, i fell asleep. Oh well.

Ok competition judge people, I suppose it wouldn't be a bad idea if my story was completly improvised would it?

I think it'll be better if it was.

So, if you ever find my story, it'll be totally crap ok?
Well, at least it'll be different from the others...

It will have no script what so ever....

Thanks - Shocky.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
