Anyone up for a flash fiction contest. See the thread I have started in the challenges section, if you are. Just leave your name.

Just keeping it at the top. We still need more people, a minimum of twelve or so. More details soon. I would like to point out that I will 'referee' this contest, but will not write in it. See post in challenges for details. I hope to start this weekend.
SIGN UP.

Need a few more...Its only a 1000 words or less (you can knock it out in a evening!)-- so not a major commitment! Come and sign up.

Yes, sign up sign up! It's been slow around here lately... at least it feels that way. Nothing like a flash fiction contest to liven things up!
On another note, I suspect we'll get some people back after today... after all, nanowrimo ends!

Shamelessly keeping this up top.

You know, there are flash contests every weekend at Liberty Hall. Mike has a nice system for making it work, and if it wasn't for the fact I suck at flash...I would probably play more.

I have never heard of Liberty hall besides, I have spent all afternoon devising (rubs his hands with nerdy glee) an excel spreadsheet for the scoring.
What I would like to achieve with this is a competition where your first 13 lines has to entice people to select your story as one of their five, but then the story itself has to stand up in order to get a high score.
When I release the results of the scores, I will also show the results for how many people requested each story. It maybe someone's first thirteen were great, as it was requested as a full story many times, but it still gets a low score. On the other hand someone else may only have a few requests yet get great scores and win.
We still need a few more takers.
