Short Story Contests discussion

You can comment on stories from the Week One (Oct. 27 - Nov.2) contest on this post.

Do you mean tommorow Saturday? I know it says Nov. 2, but you said this Saturday. Sorry if I sound like an idiot... This group sounds really fun! THanks!

Sorry, I meant NEXT Saturday. I considered having a contest this week, but it seemed too short notice... I want people to join and have time to write somthing... You're welcome to start if you have somthing ready. Go ahead and post a story if you want, I probably will if I can find the time.... XD I do hope this group turns out to be fun! My first group, so we'll see if I can keep up with it all! XD

your story was good, Clare.

haha thank you... it was weird... man I have this suckish cold right now... i want to go sleep or somthing, but i can't... : (

That sucks, i'm writing my story rite now

awesome!!! : D

can you make a folder called "Short short competiotions"? They would be daily competitoins with storiesless than 75 words.

Hey, that sounds cool, will do!

But I don't think people will be on here enough to vote everyday... maybe we'll just do it like not as a contest... idk, what do you think?

hmmmm

ya, that'd be cool. can i make it?

Sure if you want... I'll make a folder and let you take care of the rest, sound good?

I think that sounds pretty interesting.

I made one!

and other peole be sure to make them on different days and such.

ok cool! : D

Fiona! I loved your story!!! It seriosly sent shivers down my back!!! ahh!! haha

To answer your question, Brian's 19... I'm pretty sure I said he was in the short story, but the Doc kept calling him a kid, so I know it was probably a little confusing... I just wanted to give people the immpression that Doc. Lee was a cranky old guy who though anyone under the age of 30 a 'kid'....

o cool. nineteen is cool. thanx about the story. at first i was going to make it have a happy ending, but then i was just like, "naaaa. happy endings are overrated." XD

Yeah, most of them are!! : D


Arthur, very professional sounding, and you have awesome description! Are you a professional author?

Wow, this makes me soooo happy! I say cold, and I get a whole bunch of stories back! It's amazing what people can do with a word!! : )

I have a lot of years. I live in Canada. And there are also many adventures for the descriptions. I think it's where I like to live.

Cool! I was only in Canada for a few hours when I was a little kid, so I don't remember it, but some of my relitives go up there all the time, and say its beautiful!

Are you published perchance?

I have a strange school memory of the Queen of England when she visits Canada, she came to (huh, either Kingston or cardinal, which are very far away from each, so why can I not remember) for a few hours, Schools closed for the day, and provides all local students on buses to see her in public. It is a rave.
No, I didn't enter any contests either for writing either. I was encouraged by my English teacher to, but had my own goals, etc. I've got to be perfect you understand. Thank you for your encouragement.

You've definitely have talent! : D

yeah ur story was great

Hey Bells, quick note:
I don't mean to discourage you or anything, just wanted you to know: If your story is over 2,000 words, could you please put it in the 2 week contest? It was very good, but I'd like to keep to the original plan as much as possible. You can keep this story in there, but please remember this in the future. 500-2000 in the weekly contest, and 2000- 6000 in the 2 week contest.

Not that this has anything to do with the group, but I thought I'd add my critical view in here. (I can practically hear everyone suppressing groans... XD sorry, it's just my nature to get my 2 pence in.)It was good, though it skimmed over a lot, which I understand, being a short story. One thing was that you kept switching tenses. Not sure if that was intentional or not. And it'd probably be a lot easier to read if you started a new paragraph whenever someone different talks. I mean, I'm not a grammar pro, so I don't know whats right or wrong, but it's easier to read on here if it's a all a little more spaced out.... But anyway, I liked it. It was creative and had pretty good description. Alright, I'll shut up now...

While I’m already busy writing this weeks topic. I’m looking at the debris of yesterday’s Halloween. Cobwebs over everything in my front yard. I’d like to say congratulations to the winners who won in a tie. I also think Bells is a very good story. I was tempted to change my vote. See yaw’s next week.

haha have fun cleaning up!

Yeah, Bell's story was good too! I thought they all were awesome!

Hey everyone, don't forget the longer 2 week contest!: D

Note: I decided that we didn't need to make a new post for each week's story discussion... we'll just continue on here, until it gets too long, then I'll start a new one...

Good job Eric... I like it!

thanks!

Janelle, that was a cool story...

wow, Arthur! Amazing!

You think so? Thanks. I think Livi's and you too were quite good.

aww thanx! I was writing like crazy on that one... i was in a hurry... XD

OMG!!! Calioppe, I loved your story! Totally tickled my fancy!

Excellent stories, good work everyone, keep it up.

CLAIRE! I am confused. Is this the story discussion area? And if so, why is it only for week one? I want to talk about twins! :)

Nope, you can talk about twins on here if you want! : ) This is for all the weeks until it gets to be too big. I decided I didn't want to make a new discussion post with every new week, so w/e... : )

:D

Ok :). The discussion is kinda over now, but it's good to know for the future.

lol.

When do the polls close?

Always by Sunday midnight... at least thats what I THINK... I've never tested this theory XD, but I wake up on Monday, and the polls done, and it's still going Sunday night, so thats what I'm guessing happens... : D

Good thing I voted last night then!

yup! : )

So you are the seriously the only person on beside me today! YAY!!! I have school off, but not so many people do too.

LOL, um, I'm homeschooled... So I actually do have to get to school pretty soon here, but I'll be on and off all day... : )

Cool!

Im homeschooled too!!

YAY!

really? awesome! do you like it then?
