The oldies but the goodies!
I have been a member of Storywrite since September 2007 and never got the opportunity to see what was posted when it all began.
Get those old stories out of the closet, from under the bed and pulled out of the garage. Dust them off and enter it.
In this contest, when all others I state to keep them fresh, I close my eyes and say aloud "The older, the better."
Rules:
- Most genres are included except biography, non-fiction, poetry, gore, war, bondage, and self mutilation. Stories only, no poetry or scripts. Please categorize your story.
- Erotica of any type is allowed except bondage, incest, bestiality, sodomy, sex gore and rape. If you have any questions about this, please send me a message.
- Please use proper grammar, punctuation, spelling, paragraphs and dialogue structure.
- No word count but if it is quite long, I may not read all of it. I will, however, be nice enough to tell you I did not and will comment on all entries.
- One story per entrant.
- Please do not submit a story that I have already judged in a previous contest and have given a trophy.
Since these stories are old, only the gold winner will get the big points.
Have fun and thanks for entering.

Thanks
That was very nice of you. I'm going to nominate you for Contest Queen. I'm surprised you find time to write.

Old stories,
I've been here less than a month, can I enter an old story I found moldering in the back of my computer? -
Thank You!
Thanks for the honorable mention and points. I appreciate them. I hope you enjoyed your contest.
Andy
