I suck at prose, but I could give it a shot. If you want a judge, I'm here.

Could I possibly be a judge, or do you already have the other judges? *Hopes she's not to late* If not, I will try to enter this. Are there length limits?

No ^_^ but please - be considerate of me and my slow reading skills! But do as you will. Make it your best, and if that requires 10,000 words, good. But don't ramble so that I'm wanting to hack it up XD

Er, and to everyone who keeps posting here about judging, I've already commented on that. I've gotten a few comments on judges from people I like, and I have spoken with them. Like I said, no offense to anyone, but I am looking for people who I know are good with what they are critiquing. Sorry for being judgmental.

Though, like I said, if you don't judge you can enter ^_~

Here is mine:

http://www.youngwriterssociety.com/viewtopic.php?p=218286#218286

It's in the fantasy section, in case that link doesn't work. Here's the original, or one version of it:

Where will you announce the results?

Can I enter the one I already have on YWS? I'll enter it because it's in two parts and it might be a bit inconvenient otherwise. It's my original Greek myth that I've done for my correspondance. xD

It just might need a bit of a re-write, but I'll check back later when I'm done with it. Very Happy

Maybe I'll enter too, though I might have to make sure I don't read any of the other entries first.

Can the entries be based on any country's myths / faerie tales, and do they have to be well-known ones? Also, do they have to have a proper plot (beginning, middle, end)?

Thanks,

Kay.

Any country's myth, so, no they don't have to be well known. I just have to see that it was a myth/faerie tale, and that you did remake it. And no to the second one also! Have fun with it. Not everything has a proper structure ^_^

Count me in! I know you don't know me too well, but if you want another judge I'm more than happy to help!
