Top of the morning writers. I hope you have not all run out of steam and have a little more left in the tank for the November - December installment of the short story contest.

The theme this time round my duckies is Big Brother is Watching. Please interpret this however you see fit and craft an amazingly original story in any genre between 1500 and 5000 words. Then post your baby as a new thread in the Stories subsection with a link posted in this thread.

Due Date December 26 followed by voting till December 31st at which point a new winner will be crowned.

Good luck and happy scribblings.
DD

If a benevolent MOD could sticky this one and let the old one fade away that would be greatly appreciated.

Good theme. I'll whip something up after November. :)

Can anyone enter?

Absolutely - so long as you have the fortitude to get the thing written and submitted. There are never as many entries as in the FF but it lets you stretch your creative legs a tad bit more IMO and there is all the yummy feedback from your fellows.

I gotta say not to have a stringent word count as the FF fiction to work with it's quite liberating. I only participated to one, though...

ANY genre? As long as it is Big Brother is Watching? Oh yeah Big Daddy Darth, i feel my PTSD cranking up to code red, getting out my aluminum foil hat, fingers start twitching in the hunt and peck sequence....
COUNT ME IN!!! It won't be a good story, it won't be a pretty story, but it might be pretty good.
Thank you for the reply.

Okay, just one more question, where do I put the story?

I like to leave the genre wide open. Can't wait to see what you throw down. I get the feeling coming from you Rozz it might be a little frenetic, in a good way.
Peace.

Hope you come back for another go Taramoc. Don't want this thing dying on my watch.

OOOOPS - I forgot that detail. Just start a new thread in the Stories subsection of the Writing forum then post the link here.
Cheers

I don't find it nearly liberating enough. I've had to edit down everything i've submitted in the flash and the short story contests because I keep overshooting the word limit.

Good theme this time around, I'll see what I can do with it.
