Quick and Dirty - Flash Fiction competition #1

[Rumple Foreskin]

I'd have trouble doing an into that was less than 500 words. Best of luck to the participants

Ah, c'mon, Colly.

No guts, no glory. Remember, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Just take two salt tabs and drive on through. I mean, this ain't no hill for a stepper. All you've got to lose is your time, dignity and reputation as a great writer.

That's 3 hours and 3 minutes from now.

We have 12 brave authors so far w enough sack to enter. And you know what they always say in a contest like this: "Everone here is a winner." Yeah. But that also means that everyone who doesn't enter with something is a LOSER.

Wanna be a loser? No? I'll be expecting a flood of last-minute entries, then.

The gates to eternal glory are closed, no more entries are accepted, and I'll be back shortly with a summary.

[Quick-n-Dirty]

Ok....

15 brave and bold authors faced the challenge and managed to not cower in fear.

That means that they are too many for one definite voting round. So this is what I'll do:


One semifinal round: 3 heats with 5 entries
It starts soon, I just have to figger out how to make them polls work.
Voting will commence there until...how about...Friday, so that enough people gets to read them all and cast their vote.

The two top stories from each heat goes to the final, where six stories battle it out for the glory and the trophy.
Final voting open until Sunday.

Winner throned and hailed Sunday night.


Will that work? Or do we need more time for voting?

Thank you, dear man...
