Yes, I know the last one hasn't been judged yet. I'm sure tnc will get around to it later. But so many people wanted to join in that I've decided to carry on and set the next one.

For those new to the whole thing, here's how it works:
- Topic and rules (wordcount etc) are set in this post
- Everyone writes a story based on the topic with their own spin on it.
- The Title must be SSC3 + your title (ie: SSC3 - The man in the moon)
- Judging begins on the closing date
- Winner gets to set up the next SSC and admiration from everyone else.

Ok, so here's Number 3:

Topic: "Full Moon"
Wordcount: Over 800 words
Closing Date: 9am 3rd November - Winner announced that day. (delayed until Ineedsleep has finished).

Now, go write!

Result:

Right, bit of a delay, but the result is here.

Another tough one to judge as well. All good stories and all different.

But there can only be one winner (etc etc) and that is:

Sibelius with 'Silver Penny Moon Legend' - it was enchanting in a strange way and entirely different.

I'm working on something, although it needs a bit more time before it'll be okay to post.

I've written one, it's not 800 words so not eligible for the competition. It is (mildly) related to the set topic however.

Currently writing mine - and it's bad. I'm out of practice writing short things.

Good theme.
I can remember the first one you set: "Magic Monkey" - which feels like years ago. In fact, it was years ago!
