Right, so, thanks pb for awarding me the win :D
incidentally my first ever out of many SSC entries...though competition wasn't exactly fierce this time around

The Title

Ok kids, all your stories should be about Times gone by

About

Take that to mean whatever you want, but, I don't want any entries about a man pensively counting the seconds on his grandfather clock.

The winner will be the person who writes the most interesting and linguistically talented story, who incorporates the theme into something clever or meaningful.

There is no word limit, but aim to write several 'pages'. It's quantity not quality. For those users (if they're still around) who choose to write sequels then they must all be entirely to the point, if they won't be then don't enter them under SSC2.

Everybody can have two entries, I'm kind like that.

When

I'm going on holiday for two weeks this Friday so we'll say some time after that, and I may judge several days beyond the two weeks as I've broken my new pc and access to the old one is hard to gain. Alternatively I may judge it some time when I'm on holiday.

It also depends on the number of entries of course


Good luck and get scribbling.

New Competition being hosted as of tomorrow. If tnc isn't around then we'll just have to find out who won this one later on.

There are too many people who want to enter the next one to risk leaving it longer...

Oh, come on. I'd be very surprised if you didn't log in from Singapore at some point ;)

Looks like I'll miss out on the 3rd one aswell, shame we couldn't get it started a month ago :( but I guess tnc has been very busy lately.

Oh well I'll make sure I'm in number 4.

Man I haven't been here in ages! I'm definitely going to enter the next SSC, I need to get back into this stuff, I take it this one is closed?

How is everyone? Any old names still around? Or did everybody start using [haha PM is a banned phrase?] instead?

On the plus side this post gets me into the Top 100 Posters of the last month..
