EDIT: And can someone who keeps these things bookmarked find the links to the previous competitions?

Prose competition?
What about a haiku comp -
or combine the two.

Short stories laid out
in this strict form would be a
challenge. Erm .. la la.

Marks for conformity
(or lack thereof) as well as
the style and content.

Wouldn't there be a problem with voting? I looked at the links and the entries were anonymous in the past. Hmm, there were some great elements of fiction in my sermons, too. Nah, I'll try something original.

It'd be good to know if the entries will be anonymous or not.

i might have a go, depending on topic and time available.

maybe we could leave the topic open, but stipulate that chess has to be somehow important to the plot?

Chess being important to the plot might be too restrictive.

Yes - the only chance for me to participate would be a clear deadline (without a clear deadline I'll never get started...) that is not too soon. There are several other things I really need to work on though, so I am not sure I can make it anyway.

Maybe you could PM some of the former participants who may not frequent the fora much anymore.
