SHORT STORY WRITERS CONTEST for APRIL 2018 - The RAIN [TRA2018]

originally posted by: Wildmanimal

...So, all submissions are entered
as a reply to this thread?

Is that correct?

Hi Wild,
I think Lucid summed it up well in the post above.

Your entry should have it's own thread within this (Short Stories) forum.
The title of your entry should have [TRA2018] added to it (so we know that it's an official entry).
Once your thread is up, add a post here to let us know but remember to include a link back to your own entry.
(If you look at the top of your story post, you'll find a "link" pin... Right click on that and you can copy the link location ready to paste into your post here.)

If you run into any problems - fire me a pm and I'll sort it out for you.

regards
G

Hey all - if you have questions on how to create a contest entry, I made a thread with some instructions. And pictures!!
Help for creating a Short Story Contest entry!

a reply to: PrairieShepherd

It never occurred to me that new writers might need detailed instructions...

Thank You my friend Shep.

Anything that makes it easier for members to enter is a very good thing.

I am in your debt.

Someday, Mrs. Shepherd, the Shepherditos, and I intend to visit your fair country. Share a wee dram with me and we’ll call it even!

a reply to: PrairieShepherd

I just might have a bottle which... might be... "suitable" for that very occasion!

Anytime.

Thanks for all of the great story entries so far folks - I have read almost every one, and I think that at least two or three of them are outstanding!

I'm going to be AWOL now for a few days - I won't be anywhere near an Internet connection until Sunday/Monday - YAY! LOL

If there are any questions or problems while I'm away, you can bring it to the attention of our fantastic mods

a reply to: LookingForABetterLife

I've found that I have some of my most creative moments when I'm half-asleep.
Good to see you entering this contest, Blue!

a reply to: Gordi The Drummer
An excellent subject and one that invites a huge range of possible creative responses. Many thanks for this, Gordi! Looking forward to more brilliant stories from ATS members.

a reply to: JustMike

It managed to lure me out of hiding. LOL

a reply to: Gordi The Drummer

My submission, humbly submitted for your approval... Writer...

Mothers Tears

Thank you for reading and good luck to all who enter.

Thanks for the supportive comments and the new entries, everyone!

I'm now back from my long weekend away... and it was just great!

Inspired by some of the great story entries here - I have taken the liberty of writing a wee tribute piece of my own... (not an official entry):

LINK to The FUTURE. Here

cheers!

Whew! I think I managed to read them all today!

Thanks everyone for your efforts and good luck!
