I've been looking forward to the summer contest ever since I found out about the spring contest mere days after its closing deadline. Consequently I thought I'd get a headstart -- Nadan, I sent you my first submission. If you find any fault with it (it's a little longer than strictly allowed) please let me know and I'll whip up something else.

Well, here's the funny part. I was going to increase the maximum words to 3500, but I was afraid that would scare folks into thinking that by writing a shorter piece they would have no chance. If the folks here don't mind, I'll increase the max word limit to 3500, which would allow your story to enter, Osfer.

Then write a series, write it in chapters, and submit one chapter =^_^= Or, do a character exploration. One of my best stories is a short little thing called "Hug", which is nothing more than an early exploration of character driven storyline.

I know where you come from, Ray. Once I tried to write a simple 5 page story that story-commission page that I never put up. I finished the story but it ended up being 39 pages long Razz

In any case, since I am with proper writing equipment again I am definitely gonna give this one a try. I still haven't come up with a good idea for a story, but I will submit something.

No such rule bars you from entry, Amber. Have at it Smile

Hello again everyone. Just a quick update:

I have decided to allow for slightly longer stories to be entered begining this season. The story word limit has been increased from 1000-3000 words up to 1000-3500 words.

Also, the contest page did not state the story entry due date. That has been included on the contest page now as August 31.

Lastly, some have had problems accessing the sample story I wrote. I have included a link here for your convenience.
