Can I enter with a bed time story I told my friend? It might be too long, but if I shortened it?

I'll judge again if you need, one Shin.
Cut it to 8,500 Dance, and submit it.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Thanks HD.
In other news, I have actually put words to paper for this contest. I never made it that far for the others.

It's been a while since the last submission, and currently there are only two stories in the submissions thread. Is anyone else entering? I know the deadline is some time away yet, but it's not _actually_ that far away, really, especially if people are planning on starting a story from scratch...

Typos ahoy!

I have written and thrown out seven stories. I think I have something now that might make the cut. Its a semi heroic. Pretty fun to write.

I've been reading over the old entries, and I'd hate to have to judge. So many are really good.
