Hooray - it's SSC11, woo, etc... but seriously, rules and stuff:

I wont restrict the word count because, to be honest, we want to encourage all the entries we can get at the moment. Even if it's just a few paragraphs, it's welcome.

Likewise there's no limit on the number of entries per person either.

Topic is Island. We haven't had that before surprisingly enough. Use it as you see fit, all I'm after is a good read.

Have your entries in for Monday 28th May.

But most importantly: have fun. If you don't have fun, you'll be disqualified immediately.

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

Winner is Wish You Were Here by pb.

Good stuff, four entries already, and hopefully a few more before the week's up.

Sorry I haven't read any yet. Had exams and stuff... also I'm a bit of a layabout.

I'll try and leave a few comments tomorrow.

Ah, finally finished mine.

Not sure where the idea came from, it just slowly made itself clear.

Yes, go go go. I remember you writing a story once about a lad wanting a kipper for his dinner which was pretty good.

Cheers Grix, good to see you back, I'll try and get to that one soon.

Think I might have a go at this one. IT's a very broad subject area, which I like :)

Y'know, I think you might have something there Everpain.

But yeah, I did realise that the first thing that's going to spring to mind is Lost and I almost went with something else because of it.

Really though, if you can look past that then there's a lot of scope. Hell, it doesn't have to be set on an island at all, and I'm not going to mark anyone down if I can't see how they've used the theme.

Use it as a setting, use it as an inspiration, use it however you choose - I don't mind. Anything that's good will do.
