Sure. You should really join the forum. It's fun and informative. I've learned alot from talking with everyone there. Plus the contests are fun!

The title for this one is Ice. Not very original, but I'm not good with titles most of the time. Ever now and then one will just hit me that I really love, but most of the time the title is harder than the story.

Have your heard any news? Are you a winner? Catchy title even more so in this day of one word with many meanings. Happy writing!:)

People have until the end of October to enter the contest. I can't remember exactly when the winners will be announced, maybe in November?? Anyway, I still have a while before hearing anything.

Thanks for thr BR!:) Honored I feel when a author rewards me with acknowegdement! When you say short story how many typed pages are your talking? Are they going to publish the stories online for all to read and vote on? Only 2 more months hows the suspense and wait treating you? Do you wish you where able to go baaack and change anything in the story?:)

The one I entered this time was only a little over 1500 words so it was 7 pages. The first one I entered was 6000 something words and around 20 pages I believe. The winning stories will be featured in an anthrology book and sold at book stores. I don't belive they'll ever be put online through this place. I have put two flash fiction stories up on Xomba if you'd like to read them though. The names are Taking a Stand and Youth and Beauty. I entered them in a contest they are having.

The waiting isn't too bad. I knew it would be this long. I can go back and edit if I want until the last day.

You should check the Accentuate Writers Forum out. There are people on there from other countries. As long as you have a paypal account you might be ok. You could ask Michy on the forum.

Don't have a link. Can't show it to anyone yet because the forum gets first rights to publish it in the anthrology if I make the top 3.

Thanks! I bookmarked the link you gave to one of your respondents. I'm going to check it out later.

Did you join the forum? Have you got your story completed? You have until the end of October if you want to enter the contest.

No. I haven't joined the forum nor finished my story yet. But I am orking on it. It's just that I've been busy with something else the past couple of days.

Ok, just wondered. I won't know it's you if you join unless you point it out to me. I can't remember names at all. Good luck!

Each contest has a theme you have to work with. If you could change the story enough to incorporate the theme I guess you could use the same one. Never thought about it. You should enter your story. It's fun hearing what people think about them, if nothing else.

If you go sign up with the forum you can read it. It doesn't cost to sign up or anything and the people there are really nice. I can't give a link or anything until after the contest. If I make the top 3 the anthrology gets first rights.
