    The results are in! Last months's winner is....


    Shades~ It was a difficult decision, we loved them both. Jiku Neon's (Trogdor's) story followed the plot more and was very nice, but we liked the style of Shades's better, even though it wasn't exactly following the storyline as much as we would like.

    The vote was 2 to 1.

    Here's the short story contest for this month~


    ONE story per person. You can't post another one, but if you want you can edit the old one or replace it entirely, as long as the old one is no longer in the contest.

    There has to be at least a few paragraphs, not an exact number, but you should, as a writer, understand what is enough. As long as you have the point down, it's fine. The recommended minimum has yet to be decided, but I'd say 25. You can have 24, or 23 or around their, but as long as you feel it is a rich enough story. There is no maximum amount of paragraphs.

    The judges this round are me, O R A N G E, and Chevalier. If Shades (winner of last month) wants to replace me as a judge, that's fine. Knowing him, he wouldn't want to though XD

    Judges can submit a story of there own, though they can not vote for their's.

    Keep the story to a PG 13 level, including language. Accepted words are ass, hell and damn, but besides that all other cuss words shall be starred (***) out or have stars between them.

    Any number of people can enter each month.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The deadline this month is 11/29

    Now, here's the plot line this month:

    You're an orphan that came from Rhode Island, and you are around 11 years old. You lost your parents and your siblings in the woods duing a camping trip a few days ago after a devastating car crash. No one has found you, though, and you are lost in unfamiliar parts of deep woods no where near your home. You are unsure if you are near any society or people, and even though you have supplies you need you aren't sure if you can live the winter. What will happen to you?

    Good luck~

    Glad I lost. I honestly wouldn't be very pleased if that submission won. Shadesey's was way better. I'm gonna go and say right now I'll only compete again if there are under five entries three days from the deadline, same as last time. Well, I'm eagerly expecting the submissions for this month.

    Ah! I like this prompt! ^_^

    I'm already halfway done with the story that I started on. I'm around 553 words.... Would you like a set amount of words? 0:

    No, no set amount of words.

    Very nice story, I wasn't expecting anything with animals like wolves acting as almost guardians for the orphan in it.

    I think that the problem was this wasn't stickied. But ya. It is somewhat sad.

    I'm not sure, it may have gotten overlooked when the last thread was locked.

    Probably. Well, whatever, if this thing takes off I won't have to deal with deadlines anymore. Here's hoping for five contestants for December.
