Topic: The Beach - Fortnightly writing competition - Deadline August 13.

[Stupot+]

Summer is here and my only trip to the beach probably this year has ended in ugly peeling sunburn.

'The beach' is the theme for this contest. Interpret it how you will.

Rules - there ain't no rules.
Voting starts midnight (bst) on August 13th.
Have fun :-)

Trophies:
Gold^* =
Silver^** =
Bronze^*** =

^{*yellow  **grey  ***brown}

Trophies, sir! We demand trophies!

Trophies, sir! We demand trophies! 

There'll be some trophies in the next couple or few days :-)
Done (in a sense)

[Sinitrena]

That happens when I write stories instead of studying for my philosophy exam...

--------------------

A changing world that stays the same

[Stupot+]

Thanks Sinitrena. I hope you passed your philosophy exam :-)
Everyone else.  You have about 24 hours to get some kind of entry in.
If anyone wants another couple of days just say the word.

[Ponch]

Sadly, I've started two different stories, but I can't make either of them work to my satisfaction.

After pushing for someone to restart this contest, I find myself with nothing to enter. Oh, sweet irony!

Hmm. I didn't think it was such a bad topic :-(
In hindsight, the Olympics would have been more fitting.

I'd like to say it was a close battle and that I was up all night trying to decide the winner, but no one would believe me, but at least I can say 'everyone's a winner' and mean it.
Sinitrena, it's a shame you have to win by default, but I have a suspicion your entry would have done well regardless, so have yourself a gold palm tree:
And by all means help yourself to the silver and bronze ones as well... nobody else wants them apparently

[Sinitrena]

Thanks.
I hoped for at least some competition. It's just not so much fun to win by default.
Hopefully the next round has more entries. I'll start it soon.

It was a good topic, Stu. But between MAGS and the coloring ball, I ran out of time before I could finish either of my stories.
