Okay, so I have a few points to give out and I thought I'd start my first contest with a game my friends and I like to play called "30 Lines or less". So this is what I want you to do. Write me a story using no more than 30 lines (poems do not count). It can be on anything... as long as it does not go over 30 lines.
There is only one golden rule: Do not go over 30 lines. Other than that have fun.

Wait, is the limit 30 or 12? i am confused. the last line says: It can be on anything... as long as it does not go over 12 lines.

-
My bad. It's 30 lines. That was an error I fixed it though.
-
-
ok

-
12 lines or 30 lines???
-
-
30. That was an error but I fixed it.

Be that lines, or paragraphs? Jest wonderin' because line lengths can change depending on monitor width, font size, etc. So one person might fit 50 words in a line, another might fit 10. And that 50 words might be half a line on someone's big computer screen, or 40 words on someone's small screen.
Just wondering.
[edit] Though I suppose that it doesn't matter too much as it's 'or less'. But I like to point these things out.

30 lines, not paragraphs and no prob on pointin it out. when my friends first told me about it i didn't really understand.
