So good to be setting an SSC again.
The title of this one is...
Foreign
BUT... I want no Science Fiction tales, which should test you all a bit.
Expecting some good results. Winner will be based on any particular story that moves me, makes me laugh or engages me in any way.
No word limit or number of entries, so you're free to write that epic or 200 word mini-story.
and the date...
Sunday 11th March. (Week's extention)
That's 2 weeks, folks. If I feel it needs to finish earlier or later, I'll change it. But for now, go with that date.
Now get those thinking caps on...
And the winner is...
Black Glove.
But...it wasn't by much. All the stories were great, Nickgreen surprised me. It was just that the story, Running Underground, was the nearest to the subject. In the end that just clinched it.

Oh cool. Very cool that GAD's can still be won via SSC's as I noticed Black Grove did. Thanks

No prize is awarded for an SSC, they're run independently by members of the forums. Should someone win a GAD for an SSC entry, it's purely to do with the quality of their writing - and it wins the Chat Post award. You've just as much chance of winning a GAD by posting the non-winning entry or a story of your choosing elsewhere in Creative.
The reward for the winner of the SSC is the chance to set the next title and rules, for the following SSC - and simply to have their name on the winners list.

Well done Black Grove, you had it in a bag right from the start. Great story - you are good enough to become a professional author! =D Do you actually win a prize for SSC's? 30 pound voucher, or do you win the prize of having your name on the SSC winner list? Im confuzzled.
My story was not so great, but thanks for the support guys =)
I will try again soon. But this time, HARDER lol

A fine choice.
Mr Glove was keeping the competition alive almost single handedly at one point.

Congratulations Black Glove and well done to all those who entered =) some great stories.
Hic. Thanks pb. I just about hit the topic on the fourth attempt. Well done to Mav and NickGreen for entering and good tales to boot. I'll set a new one - with rule quirk - shortly.
Well done Black Glove.
