Hello everyone here is a heads up about the next prose competition i have had the pleasure of organising since 2012. The last two years we have had some brilliant entries. Can anyone prevent a potential hat trick from mike169?

Here are the rules

Maximum word length is 750 words

You can submit up to two entries

The 2014 topic will be a choice of Holidays and the normal option of freestyle is available

Entries not to be posted on forums they need to be sent to me via email send your entries to silverstriker2@hotmail.co.uk (please send me a pm to tell me your entry's title so i know who has written what)

Deadline is January 12th 2014

Good luck all

Is there going to be any penalty for going over 750 words?

If are within 10% no. Otherwise it will be just trimmed off at the end

No it's 750. You can go slightly over if you wish

Then you will want another 10% and so on. Stop nit picking and trying to insult please

Sorry - should have put a smiley after that last one!
But seriously - will the maximum word count (750) be adhered to?
I have a thousand worder that needs some serious editing!!!

Geeeeez, I just need to find a topic. I can write like a house a-fire if I have a topic I want to write about. Without that, it's a real labor. This is partially why I never entered. No topic was 'good enough'.

How do some of you previous entrants decide on a topic?
