Can it be an extract or something that doesn't necessarily "end"? If so, then I'll consider entering.

Also, is there a minimum or maximum for word count, or any other rules??

...Sounds very fun. ^_^

Ah, are we to post here or PM you? and (as KJ asks) word count limit? Does it have to be LOTR/D&D style fantasy - in other words, rather epic? Or does that only imply that it needs to be otherwordly - wizardry and magic?

1. pm me

2. UNDER 10,000.......Preferably lower though

3. And on epicness: up to you but heroes would make me like the story more

4. Excerpt is fine

**I would also prefer new, original stories as opposed to older ones that are already written

Sounds cool. Can I have multiple entries, or are you limiting it to one per person? Also, are they due on April 27th or before April 27th? I've been screwed on interpretation before.

I might submit something which I started last night, but first I just need to check.. when you say fantasy, does it have to have wizards, magic, dragons, etc. or can it just be from a made-up place. Mine doesn't have magic, you see.

...Things have been mad-busy where I am - so I haven't got anything off. But I do intend (if at all possible) to PM you with a submission before the 27th - if only a few hours before. !_!"

Don't worry Torpid, I'm sure others will follow soon. Probobly on the 26th or on the 27th. I really don't want to win by default. I mean, come on, where's the fun in that? Just be patient.
