Right, hopefully there's not too much limit on what you can write with this topic and you can do with it as you want.

The usual rules apply.

The topic: A/The System

I won't set a deadline for now, but will wait for a good amount of entries.

Thanks a lot.

Results:

A very tough one this: all the stories took a different meaning to the word system and I enjoyed each one as they were so unique. But yes, as pretty much every past judge has said, there can only be one winner.

And that person for me is Black Glove. The flow of the story grabbed my attention throughout and left me wanting more, but at the same time allowed me to appreciate the end of the story just how it is.

Well done everyone, sorry the competition was so prolonged!

I shall be thinking about this.

I've just written a daft story which could be made to fit, but I don't think it's really right for it.

Fight a system!

Something along those lines?

Guess your still waiting for entries then ST!

I'll try to do something over the holidays. May be alcoholic fuelled...

Hehe, yups, I'm hoping that it's just because of the time of the year that there's little response, it could just be that I'm a rubbish host though! I'll try and get something written too soon. :)

Well, it's done. Not the best effort, but I wanted something festive.

And I thought it was a use of The System topic you might not have expected!

I don't think you will be expecting my use of "A System". Then again, it may well be something you had in mind already. Now if only I can finish this one... XD
