I would love it if everything I wrote would stop coming out like a big pile of suck.
Better than sucking a big pile.....
I'm off the forums for two weeks and nobody notices except Roz. Sheesh. Anyway, I have a half-dozen or more Winter tales planned and underway. One is done, GIFT BOX, heavily based on a Story Idea from ender27 who will also get credit for at least one more storyline. And I'll enter some standalone A TASTE OF INCEST episodes.
Which leads to a question: I know series stories aren't eligible, but how about related stories? I've plotted twinned stories that will be alike except for gender changes, with one a mother-son version, the other a father-daughter version. They'll be A TASTE OF TURKEY: MOM and A TASTE OF TURKEY: DAD and neither depends on the other. Will these be allowable entries? I sure hope so. BTW neither will be great literature.
I've another question: What makes a snuff story? A possible XMas tragedy has the 1st-person present-tense narrator describing an intimate lovemaking scene just as a crash crushes the lovers mid-stroke. If they die from an Act Of God, is it snuff?
Laurel told me during the summer contest that the stand-alone story rule was put into effect because authors were dividing contest stories into short chapters and flooding the contest page. As long as the story is a comete, stand-alone story, it's fair game. (Even if the author links to another story in case the reader wants to read it first.)
I'm not saying that I think this is a good idea. I asked Laurel, and this was her answer.
My opinion, and I stress mine, is its unfair. If I were for example to bring back Mark and Megan from my SWB series in a stand alone story and mentioned it on my home page my totals would be greatly inflated by the people who have haunted me for three years to bring them back.
But that's my thoughts. I'm a competitive person and my idea is in a contest you should take your best shot and its a shortcut to work with something associated with other material
But I speak for me every one is different.
So, how do folks feel about short stories competing against novels in the contest?
I should have asked long ago, considering people have brought it to me three times and I couldn't give them a definitive answer.
Now we all know. ( and I need to remember to bookmark this so I can copy/paste it the next time the question arises. )
A quick note that I got an answer from Laurel about eligibility.
The beginning of the six months is the month in which you are announced the winner.
In order for a story from a previous winner to be eligible, the contest must start more than six months later. It's whole months, and the month in which you win counts as one. So, if you win in July, you're not eligible for any contest beginning in August, September, October, November, or December.
Using this year's dates:
Valentine's Win: Not eligible for Earth Day or Nude Day.
Earth Day Win: Not eligible for Nude Day or Summer Lovin'.
Nude Day Win: Not eligible for Summer Lovin', Halloween, or Winter Holiday.
Summer Lovin' Win: Not eligible for Halloween, Winter Holiday, or Valentine's
Halloween Win: Not eligible for Winter Holiday, Valentine's, or Earth Day.
Winter Holiday win: Not eligible for Valentine's or Earth Day.

Is this the same for Monthlies?
Suppose I win (Impossible situation, I know) October 2013 monthly and Laurel announces me as the winner in January 2015 (Possible) so I can't win any monthlies until July 2015?

There are monthly contests? I am awfully new, but looking around it seems like they ended a few years ago. Are the winners posted some place I can't find?
Unfortunate. It should be a consistent number of contests. I would think it's fair to not be eligible to win the next three. I think many have assumed that was the case anyway.

Monthlies are processed in chronological order, so that would never happen. If you won October 2013, you would be eligible in January 2015 (assuming you hadn't won again in the meantime).
