Tyrant Lizard, that's quite the length! Thats 30 double spaced pages. Wikipedia says the classic definition is 7500 words, but apparently anything under 20,000 is considered a short story by modern standards.

I'll tell you what, if enough people express the same problem, I could see maybe lengthening it to 10,000 (or if you promise its good, 20,000).

But to tell the truth, it would be a little harsh to disqualify someone for going over the word count so fudging is allowable. Within reason.

Thanks for that. I'll keep it as short as possible. I wouldnt want to make it any longer than I have to, I know there's gonna be a lot to read

[Terminus Est]

I'll be in this too, if I may.

I've been working on a few things...

EDIT: ...and sent.

[Shinrei]

Our first official entry!

[Fist Gamet]

Wow, an early entry indeed! I will be a number of weeks yet, I would think.

[Macros]

dear lord, someones entered one already! I've written about 600 fucking words.
most of those were drunk so the quality is debatable. The story's pretty random as well, so apologies to whoever has to read it

[Shinrei]

There is no rule against it. It just might be harder to place in the top with fanfic though.

Well, mine is not much bigger than that and was written in about 2 hours. Stinking rotten sober.

All these people writing stuff is making me feel guilty. Still need to sort out some of the plot in the middle section before I start, though.... tick tock, tick tock.

I think you should do one where Quick Ben and Mogora get it on.

[Dancer+]

There was never a time when Dancer and Kellanved had not met a.k.a. it is not a conceived idea yet.

I had an idea for a Malazan fanfic, it was beautiful. I might still enter it if I remember all of the details, however I may, and probably will, enter one of my Pratchettesque style stories.

I'm all for some Anomander Rake / Caladan Brood slash.

[Fist Gamet]

Okay, I lied about taking several weeks, I am pretty much finished as I have completed one I had done most of a few years back. It is 8,500 words, is that all right?

[Yellow]

Pfft, as long as I don't have to read it

edit - by the way, who are the judges, again? And where do I send the gift baskets?

[Fist Gamet]

*sob*

[Shinrei]

Gamet! Excellent.

[Fist Gamet]

I am just going to brush it up a little before I submit. Won't be long.

[The Tyrant Lizard]

I've sent my story. I havent got a clue how to use a computer so i sent it twice, and i still dont know if it made it there. I'll know it reached the destination when i start getting neg reps
