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)

Good luck all

Then you will want another 10% and so on. Stop nit picking and trying to insult please
But seriously - will the maximum word count (750) be adhered to?
I have a thousand worder that needs some serious editing!!!
Originally posted by wolfgang59I think the rule is 750 words but if that leaves you a couple of sentences short of short story heaven then 'silverstriker' is not gonna be anal about it.

All the best rules can bend a little bit without breaking.🙂

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?
If you're laughing aloud while typing it, you've probably got a winner.
