The Audition: the short story entries go here...

[Lady_Aline]

If you've entered this thread, it means that you're here to post your marvellous creation of a short story. For those that have just browsed, I recommend that you read the "Calling all creative writers!" thread and you'll understand what is going on. All entries have to be in by August 1st, 2000. Then they're handed in to teacher (hello moderators!)to mark. The judge then choses four out of the entries and posts the winners. That OK with everyone?

CHANGE OF PLANS FOR ENTRIES

Slight change of plans for the entry process kiddies...

1. Yes the deadline for submissions <<my how I love that word>> will still be August 1st, 2000. Any submission <<hehehe>> received time stamped after 00:00 GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) 8/2/2000 will be returned to it's author unread and unjudged.

2. All entries should be NO LONGER than 600 words, and should relate a tale appropriate to the generally accepted "Swords and Sorcery" fantasy genre.

3. All entries should NOT, I repeat should NOT be posted here, but instead be emailed to me at:

Havocman@literotica.org

These entries may be in email form, or attached as MSWord or MSWordpad .DOC files. I have Word97 for my writing program, so if you use one of these 2 types of .DOC formats, your entry should be compatible with it, making it easy for me to read.

*****

If anyone has any questions, feel free to email me at the address above, or contact Lady_Aline via the email link at the bottom of the post preceding this one.

I'm probably forgetting something else, but if I am, I'm sure Lady_Aline will point it out to me...lol...*winks at L_A*

ANOTHER CHANGE...LAST ONE I PROMISE

Okay...after reviewing document length upon some of my own works I realized that 600 words just isn't that long...so..we need to rewritwe this one rule from above:

2. All entries should be NO LONGER than 600 words, and should relate a tale appropriate to the generally accepted "Swords and Sorcery" fantasy genre.

The new requirement is as follows:

2. All entries should be NO SHORTER than 500 words, and NO LONGER than 1500 words, and should relate a tale or scene appropriate to the generally accepted "Swords and Sorcery" fantasy genre.

*****************

And Roland, you can still enter a submission...just click that little mail envelope at the bottom of one of my posts, type in or paste in an already typed up story, and it will be sent to my address above...since your email isn't working, instead of sending back a confirmation email, I'll just post on here somewhere to let you know I received it...

HEY!!!... [ggls]

HAVOC!!!... do u know how hard it was for me to stick to the 600 rule? I was editing my pretty story until all hours!!!!!

Since I've already submitted my severely edited story...
does this mean I'm allowed a second entry now??

Pretty Please Mr Havocman Sir??

[bright brown eyes looking up at the heaven's hopefully]

 

[Havocman]

<<<BOOMING VOICE FROM THE HEAVENS>>>

Well.....since you said pretty please...

(always been a sucker for bright brown eyes...lol)

[Moneytalks]

woooohooooo!

the heaven's spoke back to me!!!... YIPPEEEE!!!

[laughter]

praise be to the Havocman... [bowing low]

 

[Roland Gilliad]

BOOHOO! my writing carrer is over before it started. i cant use e-mail AT ALL for the next month. i mean no email at all. if i do my computer crashes.....BOOHOO!

 

[Sith]

I can use email quite well, but lately my writing is spiralling down and is near to crash. It is getting worse. I think I need vacations (from the job) to recover...

But I'll get something to send Havocman, he wont be rid of me so easily. Someone has to send something regular - bad for Lady Aline and Moneytalks to shine...

 

[Moneytalks]

Sith... oh you are SUCH a sweet talker!... [grins]

oh don't look... am i preening?... [laughter]

just don't right to your regular standard... or you'll obliterate us completely!...

[poohlive]

When exactly do we get a confirmation/deletion notice from the book. I was just wondering, getting kind of restless here, lol. I am sure everyone is. I just wnt to know how long my stomache is going to be up in knots.
Thanks for reading.

why is it i'm always too late for stuff like this?

you guys need to have another story contest... and to think, the story i've been writing would have ben perfect for this contest too. *sniff sniff* WAHHHH!!!!!!!

 

[Cryo]

I can't write whole stories by myself. Can I submit a total strangers' storie if there is another contest?

 

[Sith]

I would be interested in reading all the stories. Even Shila's. Especially Shila's, as it didn't enter the contest.

 

[Nicole]

Not sure if I should be saying this ...

Havoc Sweetie, Oh baby, Oh sexy one (is this enough kissing ass already) you can kill me later if you like.

I liked each and everyone of the stories that were entered, some were obviously better than others, but hey that happens anywhere. You all are extremly good writers and should keep up the good work.

I sat and read and re-read, and enjoyed them all.

Okay ... *bending over for Havoc to spank me for telling you all that*

Keep up the really good work Guys and Gals.

 

[Always]

I would be interested in reading all the stories. Even Shila's. Especially Shila's, as it didn't enter the contest.

*grins*

i think i'll submit (for you, havocman) it to Laurel and she can put it on the site proper.

sound good to you?
