I don't understand. Does it have to be about superglue, or just involve it in some way?
 
Superglue has to be an important feature of the story in some way. Whether that means it's about superglue, or superglue advances the plot significantly is up to you. Whatevet 987 or less words you type, we have to be able to tell that superglue is an integral part of the tale and/or the narrarative could not exist without that Scion of Sealent or that Paragon of Perpetual Hold.
 
Don't send your contributions to me! I might want to enter this: since I'm not invovled with organizing, this time.
 
lol fuck you

Link down now you have to listen to me.

And don't steal my shit. I didn't send anything its public dammit. Junky freaks man I'm tellin' ya.
 
I'm allowed to make my own mistakes, by virtue of humanity. And by virtue of my modship, I get to correct yours. :)
 
Hey New, I've been trying for a week to cut the fat off this thing but I feel it's better than anything I've ever done and to take out parts would be to make it worthless and I'd just as soon scrap the whole thing.

1670. That's how many words I have it's 5 pages. That's a considerable reduction and I've taken out quite a bit of superfluous language.

Any chance we can up the limit?

I'll still submit it for people to read if this can't be done, I just won't expect to win anything (not that I wanted to anyhow.)


Thanks mate.
 
Thou, I'm glad you wrote a great story that you're proud of. I really am, and I would love to read it either way. However, the challenge is to write a story that'll fit under the word limit as well as be awesome. I would equate the challenge to being given a certain amount of space in a magazine for an article - it doesn't matter how heart-shatteringly awesome the story is, there's a certain amount of space it has to fit within. In the interest of fairness to everyone else, I'm sorry to have to say I can't accept it for the contest.
