Welcome to the the latest round of the Fortnightly Writing Competition! :)

At last, a new theme for a new competition. And here it is:


Something said or something done? By whom? It really is up to you.

ENTRY RULES:
- Write a story of around 500-600 words. *
- Entries must be in before July 15th
- Post your entries (or link to your entry) in this thread
- Voting will take place on the 16th-17th of June
- The winner sets the subject for the next competition and starts the next competition

VOTING RULES:
- All voters have a maximum of two votes of equal value. One vote for one entry.
- One meber one vote. Two votes when there's two entries? Nah.
- Voting ends at 23:59EST on Thursday the 17th of July. Any votes made after that point don't count.

Trophies:
- Wait and see! But don't get too excited.

(*) The word count is just a guide, and not a target. Don't worry too much about falling short or going over: let your story finish as naturally as you can. Quality not quantity etc

Please continue to keep your enthusiasm for this round under wraps. I understand completely that the last thing you want to do is to put other people off entering by appearing so excited that your entry will be the greatest ever. :=

Will I win by default if no-one enters? :o

Relax, I'll post in a few days

Ooh actually no, I won't sorry.

haha sorry i wont enter either but the last two replies previous to mine are hilarious  :D

I'm entering, I promise that. Later this week ;)

Considering there's only a few days left to enter perhaps extending it by at least 2 days might be a good idea, at least to avoid just having one entry, after all it's not a competition without more than one person entering.

Why thank you, those two posts can be my entry.

Quality not quantity eh?

I'm afraid I exceeded the limit a bit (1863  :-[), but I got carried away, and I really wouldn't want to erase my text, because I like my story. So, I take it that it's up to you if it's legal, or we could ask the common opinion.

Please, do enjoy  :), this one is for you guys!

Something Stupid (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/Something_Stupid.doc)

Hmmm, well written and fluid, is it legal though?

I'll say it's okay. I suppose I'd better start making some trophies...

That'll teach me to set slightly contradictory rules.  :-[

I'm not particularly minded to push back the deadline, unless more people ask for it.

I whipped up something stupid last minute (http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/3/25/1835627/Dumb%20Kids.doc) to battle Tuomas for the first place ;)

Damn you!  ;)

Though that was a nice read. A funny story, and closer to the given limits than mine. Good luck with it  8)

Roll up and vote, everyone!  :) Which of the two stories did you like the most?

Iiiin the red corneeerrr... Tuomas with his story Something Stupid (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/Something_Stupid.doc)
Aaaand iiiin the blue corneeerrr... TwinMoon with his story Dumb Kids (http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/3/25/1835627/Dumb%20Kids.doc)

Since we only attracted two entries this time, I have made a decision that you now only have one vote each.

Voting ends when Thursday ends. (Well... 23:59 EST, anyway) Vote away!

I find myself olidged to vote for TwinMoon - Dumb Kids. and I don't feel bad, it was a good story!

ICH VOTENSPLOCKEN FUREN TUOMAS...EN

I'm a sucker for well-written children's stories like Winnie-the-Pooh, Wind in the Willows and Alice in Wonderland, so my vote goes to Tuomas, also because it was the better story.

And so, I present the winner and runner-up:



Congratulations to Tuomas, who must now host the next round, and wins the coveted winner's trophy! A trophy that says "victory", "triumph" and "I couldn't think of a better trophy design, please don't kill me for being too obvious."

I see.

Thanks, I guess, I'll be starting a new one immediately.
