We got some good ideas for a new comp. This one seemed to be the best. It doesn't have to be another planet. It could be on Earth, any time period. The topic is pretty obvious, a sole person in a new, unviolated environment.

Thanks for the new contest Intrepid.....

However, we have a writing contest that was never judged....the holiday poem contest. Perhaps Worldwatcher just got too busy?

No worries.....

Well done intrepid. Is there a limit on how many story's you can enter?

Good luck everyone.

mojo

oh.. and is there a min. max. character count?


jackanory, tell a story... lalalallala

I've been here on ATS years ago and left but I'm back again to some different rules. I have one question, do we post the story right here in this thread? Thanks in advance.

DOUBLE WOOT Intrepid!

Thank-you.

(Exhale) Yes thank you Intepid, I need a break from the real world, and you know me... I can never turn down an opportunity to join ATS short story contests. YES!!!

Now where's that darn pen?

No word or character count. Stories breathe. You never know what it will take to get where the story will take you. That being said you might need more than one post to complete it as the site does have a post limit. So please indicate if you need another post, or add "Fin" to your story so that members can then comment.

We've got a lot of writers here. 3 stories/member for the comp. That doesn't mean that you can't write more for public consumption. It's just that judges will have PLENTY to read. This will be judged by others than me. That wouldn't be fair. Say, I'm into Sci-Fi, that speaks to me. I could be biased by a certain story. Not fair. That also being said, if you want to participate as a judge, let me know via u2u. You can't contribute a story though, again, that wouldn't be fair.

Could you please clarify "unviolated" environment? Does that mean "I am the last person in the world after the world has been destroyed" stories are out?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry i am new

Agian sorry
I still would like to know what this is about.

Sorry I'm a little confused. Where do I post my story? Do I post it here as a reply to this area. Or is there a different place to send it.
Thanks
