Rhoda Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 First of all - oops. We let it over run this month, but not to worry. This let a few more voters flock in to bulk up the main result. That also meant that I won, so thank you very much for that. Eminence is unfortunately in Asia tracking down the last of the Mohican's. It isn't really the last one, but girls really dig you when you're the last of something. Anyway, let's get started. This month's theme is something open enough to make up for the day we lost. I'm partly doing that because we're late, but also because I want more people involved so hopefully this is easier on the imagination! S P A C E So good that I put it in capitals and made it look artistic with some strategically placed spaces. Once again, pieces can be as short or as long as you want, but bear in mind that either extreme may impact negatively on how it's received. A guideline would be anywhere around 750-1000 words, but these are only rough. Entry is open until Thursday 25th August. After that we'll open a voting topic for people to choose their favourite. Off you go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush. Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 This may turn out to be a great theme to work with. I will definitely give this a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark-2007 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Ooh, I watched the most mind boggling documentary the other day on space. I'll try think of something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayan Shaffey Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) I'm in, my story is here I hope it isn't bad. EDIT: I found out it sucks, like I said before, I'm too stupid to be a writer Edited August 18, 2011 by shayanshaffey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhoda Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 So... anymore coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vercetti21 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I'm still polishing everything up. Should have mine ready within the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhoda Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 Okay, good, I'm relieved now. I thought this was going to be as empty as space itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIKKS66 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) I definitely need to start getting involved with these contests. I'm penning (or typing?) my entry as we speak. Edit: Off on holiday on the 22nd, coming back 28th. Hopefully this will give me chance to join the discussion regarding which is my favourite and allow me to vote but if not, best of luck to all the entrants Edited August 20, 2011 by SIKKS66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhoda Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 Thanks SIKK. Mmm. Doesn't look good this month... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminence Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I wrote mine a few weeks ago but I've since decided to send it into a magazine, though it'll probably be rejected. So yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhoda Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 D'OH. That doesn't mean you can't post it here! Sell-out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminence Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Actually, it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark-2007 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) Good to see a few entries this month from one or two new faces. What magazine, Em? Also, my sister's had mt laptop for the past few days so I haven't been able to type anything up. I had a bit done beforehand but not enough for a story. Gonna have to hand it back to her to finish whatever work she needs it for too, shucks. Edited August 22, 2011 by mark-2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminence Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Just an online one. Nothing anyone would have heard of, haha. Yeah, nice to see some new faces. There's been an influx of late entries, which is also great to see - it looked very barren for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I'm trying to work something out for the theme but I honestly can't approach it and be happy with what I make. I'm gonna finish cleaning up and try once again. Hopefully I'll get something by tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhoda Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 My entry ended up soaring to over 3000 words. It's too late to write a new entry, so I won't be in this month's contest. To be fair, we have had a sudden surge which I'm very happy with, so all is well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rown Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I realized a few days ago that I've had an idea in my head that fit this theme. Now trying the last minute rush to get it together. Rown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhoda Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Haha. You still have time! Not much, but you could still sneak an entry in. I don't know when Emi's going to have the voting up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Here's his story, in the wrong section. Sorry I couldn't get anything up, man. I've read all the contestants though and I'm ready to give my vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
