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.

I don't rate the chances of a FOG story taking off at the moment. We've done 2 over on PM recently and neither one ended properly due to lack of interest/time from the writers.

I have extended the deadline of this SSC though by a week...

On the FOG story? I'd sooner read Harry Potter.

No its jsut, if I write about something I sort of want.....

Hell, I can't explain it.

Black Glove is going to win anyway.....

EDIT:
Of course if I wasn't spending my time trying to get FOG going I would have more time to think something up.
Alas.........

Don't want it to be too easy, do we?

You could write about:
Journalist in another country.
Someone feeling out of place in a situation.
Food.
Xenophobia

and many more...
