Yes, to answer very old questions here :
The prizes are :
In-depth crits on a piece of the winner's choice.
250 points for 1st place.
125 points for 2nd place.
75 points for 3rd place.
and if I think of anything else I'll let people know.
Where to post your work :
It'd be better if you PMed it to an instructor and they're post it in the Instructor Usergroup for us all to see and discuss while still keeping some of the surprise of waiting for the results. If it doesn't fit in a PM you can PM me for my e-mail and send it there  |

Just a quick question--
Can it be flash fiction? It doesn't have to be a long, structured story? |

Coolio. I like how broad the subject is... and how full of possibilities! I will try to enter I really well. But I'm not good on deadlines and this next month will be busy for me, but I really want to enter. So... if I don't enter in time(or even if I do, I guess), just remember: I tried.
lol

You're mistaken... it STARTS tomorrow. It ENDS a month from tomorrow.  (I made the same mistake at first too) |

Are you sure?
On my computer screen it says "Starts Sept. 7, Ends Oct. 7"
Maybe you could... do it in a day? Just think up a story? |

Oh right... I was thinking all screwy (is it really October already??). Shucks, I can't write something before tomorrow --no matter how I try. Oh well. I guess I can do it just for me and post it even if I don't do it for the contest.
Maybe you Instructors can extend it a week or two?? Hmmm? Please? With a cherry --no, make that two cherries, just for good measure-- on top? Sigh --or not.
Yours beseechingly,

As long as it doesn't matter if it is flash fiction (which is my Goddess :p) I think I can get this done by tomorrow =D

Off I go then hehe. |

| Flash fiction is just fine and well, Ducksworthy is quite busy at the moment so I'm sure he wont mind if I extend the deadline to the 20th October. Is that long enough? |

| No problem. I think we're a little low on entries anyway so an extended deadline is beneficial to all involved =) |
