Glad to hear it

This contest is starting to heat up.

There ya. go. I can keep my strike teams at home. I hope more people "find" this contest.

I have an entry coming but it's taking a bit more research than I expected.

Research time and entertaining a 3-year old boy mix together like oil and water. Hence, no entry yet.

Also, Masqua, I originally planned to participate in judging this contest, however, since I plan on entering I would like to refrain from judging.

Just a personal preference like Justin.

Hey, I'm glad to hear that. Short stories can be a lot of fun. I hopethat all of you will consdier entering this contest. Winning is not the issue. It's all about the satisfaction that you get from creating.

Just submitted here

Meet Riquetta, the dollmaker....

Excellent... I see you've put some work into this one.

Ah ha. I see five entries now. C'mon. You guys can do more. We should give the judges something to do, so I'm thinking that TEN stories would be a high end goal to aim for.

I was hoping for at least as many entry's as the last contest which was around 20 submissions i think. There is just so much material to work with from all the threads on ATS.
C'mon everyone, surely there's a thread you've seen that got your imagination going, write your story down and share it with us.

Masqua,

do I have to submit part of it first?
to get the go ahead?

I have picked a rather hard one... -> research

Nope... just post it in Short Stories when it's done and it will be submitted

I'd love to post a short story.

Where can I type it and present it?

What are the steps?

Thankyou eveyone

Best way is to type it up on Notepad or Word and then cut/paste it to 'New Thread' in Short Stories

What are the steps?

The steps are outlined in this thread. Take a look at the opening post.

P.S.

Is there a link to the short stories forum?

You just posted in it. This IS the Short Stories forum.

I have went through and read the submissions. Man this is going to be tough to judge a single winner.

I am so glad I didn't submit a entry it would have paled in comparison to the literary works of art that are written here.

How should I submit who I intend to vote for masqua?
