Hey there glad you could join us. Tickets please. I'm sorry but you need a ticket to enter this contest. If you don't have one I'm afraid you can't come in, thanks for stopping by though. 
Ahh I see you do have a ticket! Well welcome and I hope you brought your very best because thats what we're looking for.
You will need to submit 2 stories for this contest. The first, a prewrite that you are very proud of and that we haven't commented on.
The second will be a new story, anything you like!
You were given a ticket because your work was chosen to be the best out of all of SW (in our opinion) and we want to see what else you got!
To those that didn't get a ticket, please don't take it personal. This list was hard to narrow down.
Rules-
Must have been given a ticket to enter
max 5000 words
In your AN let us know who you would have included in this contest
Have fun
***FYI - This is an Invite Only Contest. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
****UPDATE - Most of you may already know but I'm posting this here for those that didn't get the memo; this is now a PayitForward contest. Same concept, pick your favorite SW authors (as many as you have 5,10,20 etc.) and invite them to the contest. The setup can be anything you want, story starters, flash fiction whatever. The point is to get some guaranteed good reads and let those authors that deserve recognition know somebody appreciates their talent.

Boston could hear the animal snuffling somewhere ahead. They were quiet sounds of breathing and of nosing around for food. Warm organic sounds, sounds that promised a feast.

I liked the place, despite what Ike was always saying. The bed was comfortable, the cable was complimentary, and there wasn’t a bad view oby IrishYndina 4400 words, 31 comments, on Jul 20 9:46 AM• Viewed by judge.

I came thinking it was free entry to a giant chocolate factory... oh well.
This is going to be hard - I think you've read and commented on all of my good stuff.
First off -
- but who am I competing against? Or shall I have to wait?
And I think you might just end up with two new stories rather than just one plus and 'oldie'.
Bugger... now I have to think of something.
-
-
well you are quite welcome. We debated on putting a list of names. But just in case someone didn't want to enter, it would be no pressure for them.
I'd be lying if I said your competition was going to be easy...but hey thats why we picked you
-
-
I think I found something that neither of you have read - one of my newer ones that has had numerous tweaks to it since it first went up.
Enjoy!
-
-
-
Will enter, and thanks...just give me some time
-
does it have to be a completed story or can it be a few chapters of one?
-
-
A few chapters is fine. As long as it showcases those mad skills you have.
-
-
I'm so looking forward to reading these.
-
-
-
Thank you. I feel so honoured to have been chosen. I am hoping I have a prewrite that you haven't read and during my holidays, I have been busy writing so I am sure I have a new story I can enter. This is going to be fun!! Thanks again for the ticket.
-
Can you check out my work please? I'd like a chance...
-
Yay! Thanks for the invite.
Something good of mine, you haven't read... hmm.... Let's try this one... -
*breaks into munchkin-style singing*
I've got a golden ticket, I've got a golden twinkle in my eye... (that's all of the song I know...*laughs*)
This is awesome - what an honor!
Thank you both!
Now...am I really supposed to find something you haven't read? I think you've found all of my good pieces already (maybe THAT'S how I tricked you into thinking I can write...). *laughs* Can it be a chapter? Hm...I'll bet I can find something.
Thanks again!
-
Woo! Got a ticket! I feel honored!
*feels honored*
I won't be able to add anything until tomorrow though. I just got off of work and I have to be back in 11 hours
I'm hoping that there will still be entry spots by then
-
Dang it, you have commented on my Hamlet soliloquy... Well, you have Jack, I don't think Grey has... But you want me to find something else? 'Cause seriously, I think you've read all the stuff I'm proudest of...
-
-
I just looked at your page and theres plenty of stories that I haven't read. They can't ALL be bad.
*Psst, that's kinda why we picked you
*
-
-
Yeah, but only a select few have decent grammar.
Ohhhhhh. I was wondering why you picked me.
-
-
-
Crap.
I just realized this is going to be a wicked hard contest to judge. Maybe more trophies...
-
So, I just came to entered my prewrite and then realized...
a ) I don't know what to write for the new story
&
b ) That picture's from Indiana Jones! -
-
Very good SpackerDave
that pic is just a little hint to those who try to get in w/o a ticket.
I'm sure you'l come up with something good. I mean if Dan can do it...
-
-
Well I did it, hah.
I had to enter is as a pre-write though, 'cause I wrote it for another comp, and it had to go in that first, 'cause it only allowed new writes. But it is new. Only just finished editing it.
-
-
-
My computer has recently decided to rebel against me... I'm only on for about a half hour at a time, then I have to turn to comp off... so, may not get to enter a fresh write.
-
I can't believe the competetion I'm going against. I am so honored to be grouped with these wonderful authors. And I thank you both for even considering me for this contest. Wow!!! It's the only thing I can think of.
-
Um... I'm thinkin' I have to drop out of this Sorry.
My mindset isn't the greatest right now for coming up with ideas on the spot, and I'm still working on my bigger project (one more chapter, woo!)
So, I just thought I'd let y'all know so the contest isn't delayed because of me. Thanks for the invite though, and hopefully I'll be considered again if you have another one of these
-
I didn't get a chance to enter the new story (computer issues). So, um, if you have to remove my other one, go ahead (after you've read and commented of course )
-
Ga-roovy Thanks for the silver.
I didn't get the update on the PIF part.
-
Thanks for hosting such a fantastic contest, guys! It was blimp-loads of fun!
