Hey folks, just had an idea, wondered if there would be any level of interest.

I'm thinking of starting a new website featuring short stories and other such creative things.

Would anyone like to contribute to this for a small fee, if there was the chance of winning prizes?

Many writing competitions charge a few pounds to raise the prize money, so it would be something like a maximum of 100 entries, £3 each, 1st prize of £100, runners up prizes of £50, 2*£25, 5*£10. Or something.

Numerous contests every month, perhaps with different themes, and word limits. For instance, a very short story contest, entry just £1, but smaller prize. Writing to a specific theme too.

It wouldn't just be stories though, the kinds of things that many of us frequently write on this site, comical guides, fake news, serious topics.

So, who is interested, and who would honestly part with a little cash for the chance to win more?

OK I won't bother, I don't see what the problem is anyway...

DEFINATELY is not a word.

Definitely, on the other hand...

Yeah, I probably would be interested. Though I would be more interested in being a judge of one of these compo's than competing :).

Well quite clearly it was a joke... hence me writing it once then again in capitals.

Sfone, I think you're giving yourself too much credit saying that it was obviously a joke...

OK it was a joke, but a little hard to understand. Better?

I'd be interested. I'm not sure how often I'd find the time to enter, but I'm definitely up for it.

Yeah, I'd be up for it.
If, of course, I didn't have to pay.

What a sad, penniless life I lead.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Wonderful...
... and so easy-to-use even for a technophobe like me. I had my website up in a couple of hours. Thank you.
