May / June 100 Word Anonymous Challenge Discussion Thread

[Danny McG]

Fret not, my fret-filled friend.

With the NEW rule about all writers, that we can officially submit more than one story for an ANON challenge. Nice. But, we'll see how it plays out.

Next time I think I'll do just that, if I put half a dozen stories in then at least one should snare a vote!

Just write one up to the standard of the prize money.

How apt that Treble Trouble wins with 3 votes?

 

[Elckerlyc]

Fixing the problem elvet.
From the past dannymcg.

Sorry Ian. Neither is correct.

 

[BT Jones]

All I can say is that I am honored that some people think so highly of me...

 

[BT Jones]

Hmm A quick check suggests things are looking pretty dead now and there are still less votes than stories
Maybe future-ward this endeavor could be moved to the 'Writing Challenges' section which strikes me as more appropriate than workshop.

I have to say that I agree. My bookmark is set to the challenges forum, so I keep having to hop between them. A place for everything and everything in its place, as someone once said.

 

[AMB]

Now everyone's going to be looking at sule's list trying to work out which 10 were right
