Good competition! I take it you are going to take the posts from the writing thread and email to them directly? or do we do that?

All posts made in the writing thread will be judged by the panel.
If there is a stand-off I will ask Bantam/Transworlds very nice editor man to make a decision :D

I'm not giving it a try :D Not that I don't want a free Bonehunters copy (I've already preordered mine but heck - I can always give it to someone :D) but writing in english is not exactly what I'm best at as many of you no doubt know :D

Actually no...I haven't noticed much of a difference. Just go ahead give it a shot, there's no harm in it:D

might as well just enter something right? its not like it would really cost you anything (cept maybe some time). but if its really a problem you can always write it up and then get someone to proof-read
