Ok, lets encourage more people to write short stories here. I thought it would be fun to see what you guys are made of, and hey, I might even write one myself!

Here's the deal:

1) Stories must be on the topic set, which is "The Magic Monkey"

2) The story should be less than 1500 words

3) Posts in a seperate topic should contain "Short Story Competition" in the title.

If this is successful then perhaps someone else can start off another topic for the next competition.

It's been done.
At least twice by me alone.

I think I've got something.
Should be nice, if a little disturbing.

But I've got to finish a "funnah" story first, so expect it before this time next week.

You have to be able to type in a comprehensible manner to win I'm afraid. I say just use the CD as a prize, I'm sure most people aren't really that fussed about a prize anyway :)

The magic Monkey

A monkey found out he was magic and turned his dad into a frog

The end

No prize needed.
The challenge alone is prize enough.

I don't think there needs be a prize at all, though that CD full of 8-bit emulators and games sounds awfully good to me!

Roms and Emulaotrs would be crazy or you could try and organise a GAD for the winner?

In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
