Lucky number 7.

It's weirdly difficult to think of a theme - especially trying to come up with something that isn't related in some way to a previous SSC.

...

I've decided to go with

Music

Stories in which music plays an integral role.

Word limit: 2000-ish
Deadline: 21 Jan


------------

Winner: Shanty Claws - The Life of a Song.

But only two entries. It's dead. Oh well.

There will another entry but I missed the deadline - sorry :(

It was a small idea, very simple in it's telling but it kinda grew. I'll still post it... eventually :)

I don't think it matters if you repeat a topic that's already been done. As long as we don't get people re-posting old stories the competition will stay fresh.

We must have had about fifty of these now so repetition will be inevitable at some stage.

Oh yes! I've never won one of thse before.
I'll just forget that there were only 3 entries and.....yes!

Weirdly I always thought that if I won one I would choose something musical.

Could someone (pb) list out whats already been done? I can't remember.

I'm sure you can. A sentence here, a change of word there. It's as easy as stamping in a puddle.

Never mind - I'm sure I can find some obscure way of linking it in to the next comp. Well done to Shanty, then.

Sorry Mav. I got bored of waiting. And with the lack of entries I thought I'd wrap it up early. God. What should I do ... D'you think you can re-work it for the next one? If I let it in, you'd probably win.
