    Your efforts are appreciated sir!

    I have (genuinely) completed the first draft of a story which is arguably the best thing I have ever written.

    (The above is in no way an attempt to intimidate Moonbus, last year's winner).

    Watch out for the new kid on the block. I may be borderline illiterate, but I am sure somebody who has read stuff will tell you of great authors who were as well, possibly, somebody... anybody??

    You (with a good few besides) are on my radar sir!

    I think this is the kind of competition where everybody has a shot, as it really comes down to a good core idea that is satisfactorily contained withing the 800 words limit.
