Short Story Contest - Superglue!

[Thou]

Quite alright, totally understand thanks for the topic though! Turned out to be a real bastard of a fun time!

Might take out a few parts to enter it might not. We'll see.

 

[New]

Glad you understand and are having a hell of a fun time with the topic.

 

[Thou]

I'm shaving it down.

Will submit but for publication it will stand as the original.

Coming soon to an unpopulated forum near you!

Is the title factored into the word count?

Is anyone else involved in this I'd appreciate a show of hands.

 

[ForEverAfter]

I submitted a story.

 

[New]

The title is not part of the word count. There will be three contestants so far once Thou submits his story.

And BUMPING for a week left! Get your submissions in, kids!

 

[Thou]

Cool. I've got 400 words to kill.

It's like killing a male cannabis plant when you sex it.

Sad

 

[New]

Think of it more like uprooting bluebells to let the baby's breath shine. It's all beautiful, but certain beauties have to be removed in order to let the remaining wonder to bloom that much...bloomier.

 

[ForEverAfter]

It's quite difficult to tell a story in less than a thousand words.

 

[New]

I agree, one hundred percent.

 

[Thou]

Its helping me to improve my editing skills, that's for sure.

 

[Thou]

Can I link to footnotes?

 

[Thou]

Nvmnd Just added a few small footnotes at bott0m.

983 word. Shooting it your way New thanks for the topic.

 

[Ashley]

I've gone and missed it.. Though, it would not be the first time.

 

[New]

Yes, the contest is closed. Will post stories for voting tomorrow.

 

[Thou]

Please note:

My coverpage has one typo: "serious should be series." Not part of main story but still.

Thanks.

 

[Thou]

Please post the stories.

 

[ForEverAfter]

Here here!

 

[Thou]

"That horse better win otherwise we're taking a trip to the GLUE FACTORY!"

And he won't get to come!

"Yeah, I heard that's a pretty good tour."

 

[ForEverAfter]

I used to eat glue in primary school.

It tasted like glue.

 

[Thou]

This is is trying my patience.
